Argentina’s government has issued a decree authorizing up to $5bn in new borrowings. The primary objective is to significantly reduce financing costs for the national treasury. The update comes just days after Argentina secured guarantees from the World Bank’s board for up to $2bn in commercial loans. The decree paves the way under New York law to secure financing backed by partial guarantees from multilateral institutions like the World Bank and the IADB. By utilizing such bank loans, Argentina aims to secure funding at much lower rates than those currently available in the international bond markets. Securing this cheaper capital is considered important as the nation faces a looming $4.5bn bond payment next month. Besides, Argentina’s foreign currency debt service is projected to exceed $20bn annually starting next year. Economy Minister Luis Caputo is said to rely on this multilateral strategy alongside central bank foreign-currency purchases and local dollar-denominated bonds (bonar bonds) to tackle the nation’s debt servicing needs.
Argentina’s dollar bonds were trading stable with its 3.5% 2041s were at 74.6, yielding 7.3%.
