الأرجنتين تطرح أول سندات بالعملة المحلية للمستثمرين الدوليين

The Argentine government announced the issuance of a new sovereign bond denominated in the local currency (peso), with a five-year term aimed at international investors; a move that officials described as a "return of Argentina to global markets" following the restructuring of sovereign debt during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Argentine Secretary of Finance Pablo Gerardo Kicillof stated: "The bond is scheduled to be offered in an auction on May 28, with the aim of raising up to one billion US dollars."

This issuance represents the first of its kind in nine years, when Argentina sold peso-denominated bonds to global investors during a market-friendly government period.

The bond offering to foreign investors marks a new phase in the evolution of the government's financial strategy, which has so far focused on fiscal austerity and monetary discipline, but is now seeking to secure new external funding sources to meet the requirements of the International Monetary Fund, without touching the central bank's reserves or issuing more local currency that fuels inflation.
