Overview
- The Treasury will auction a four‑year, dollar‑denominated bond maturing on November 30, 2029, under Argentine jurisdiction with a 6.5% semiannual coupon and bullet repayment.
- The tender closes on December 10 with settlement on December 12, and subscriptions and payments will be in dollars.
- Officials say the sale targets only part of January’s obligations, with remaining needs potentially covered by a bank repo facility.
- Caputo reaffirmed complementary liquidity backstops that include a repo offer with banks of up to $7 billion and a $20 billion U.S. Treasury swap, of which $2.5 billion is active.
- Markets strengthened after the announcement, with dollar bonds up about 1%, the peso stronger across quotes, and country risk near 620 basis points; analysts expect a modest $1.5–$2.0 billion placement and debate yields around 8%–10%, while a coupon bond is set to add visible interest costs to 2026 accounts.
