I think this is very very big. They, like a lot of countries, pay off old debt by selling new debt. If they can’t sell new bonds, they need to pay off old debt from revenue. Which means big immediate spending cuts/tax increases. Or, they can offer a higher interest rate to be able to sell bonds. Or they can default.
