Overview

• The Bicameral Commission on State Reform and Monitoring of Privatizations held its constitutive meeting after a decade of inactivity and formally reactivated oversight.
• Senator Juan Carlos Romero was elected chair and advanced information requests to Economy Minister Luis Caputo on ongoing transfers and concessions.
• The requests seek detailed data on Intercargo, Belgrano Cargas, Operadora Ferroviaria, Corredores Viales, YCRT, Nucleoeléctrica Argentina (NASA) and AYSA.
• Lawmakers highlighted Nucleoeléctrica’s strategic role and asked how the Executive will value intangible assets like specialized personnel given a reported plan to divest 44% of the company.
• Romero’s motion won backing from Kirchnerist members and drew no objections from other blocs, and although the commission’s findings are not binding they could complicate timelines if they flag irregularities.
