Overview
- Budget 2026 and the Fiscal‑Impositive bill received majority committee opinions, while the borrowing plan only got a minority opinion and was pushed to a Nov. 25 meeting.
- Governor Axel Kicillof seeks authorization to borrow roughly US$3.0–3.035 billion, including an 8% municipal investment fund to be distributed via the CUD formula.
- Passing the debt measure requires two‑thirds support, with opposition blocs and some Peronist factions pressing for a fixed, freely disposable municipal fund and agreements on key vacancies such as the provincial Supreme Court and Banco Provincia.
- If negotiations succeed, leaders aim to take the package to the floor around Nov. 26, with some borrowing instruments still requiring subsequent national authorization.
- Similar dynamics are unfolding elsewhere, as Mendoza converted its 2026 budget into law with broad opposition backing and Cordoba’s opposition criticized expansive debt powers and reduced preventive oversight.
