The Argentine government has made its first major debt repayment of the year, consisting of US$4.3 billion in Global and Bonares bonds. After the payment, Global bonds (under foreign law) and Bonares bonds (under Argentine law) edged up by 0.7%. Friday’s maturity is part of the debt restructuring calendar established in 2020 by then-Economy Minister Martín Guzmán. On Wednesday, Economy Minister Luis Caputo said on X that, by taking US$3 billion to pay off US$4.2 billion, the government had reduced its debt, but this was disputed by several economists. The next tranche of debt, a similar amount to Friday’s payment, matures in July.
