Argentina’s Treasury Said to be Buying USD for $4.3bn Debt Payment Due Friday
January 7, 2026
Argentina’s Treasury is said to be actively purchasing US dollars generated from the privatization of hydroelectric plants to secure funds for a critical $4.3bn debt payment due January 9, as per a source. The person also added that the Treasury acquired over half of the $700mn in privatization proceeds through off-market block trades on Monday. While analysts note that Argentina will meet its principal and interest obligations, they questioned whether the Treasury can self-fund the payment or must rely on the central bank’s reserves. To bridge any remaining gaps, Economy Minister Luis Caputo is said to be considering a repo agreement with international banks or utilizing a $20bn swap line with the US Treasury. While Caputo has signaled a reserve-accumulation strategy for 2026, the recent moves are said to indicate a multi-pronged effort to stabilize the nation’s finances ahead of the deadline.
Argentina’s dollar bonds were trading stable with its 5% 2038s at 78.1, yielding 6.5%.
