Overview

  • Governor Martín Llaryora officially launched the Acuerdo Federal Cordobés, allocating ARS 112.881 billion to assist 426 municipalities with debt refinancing, infrastructure, and discretionary funds.
  • The Córdoba package includes refinancing ARS 13.131 billion in municipal debts over 120 CER-indexed installments, alongside a Permanent Fund for Works and ATP allocations.
  • In Buenos Aires, a legislative commission approved a bill to condone ARS 7.9 billion in municipal debts from the COVID-19 fund, with final votes in the full chamber and Senate expected soon.
  • The Buenos Aires initiative mandates 90-day reimbursements for previously paid debts and exempts municipal officials from sanctions under specific conditions.
  • Both financial relief measures serve as strategic tools for the governors to strengthen alliances with mayors across party lines ahead of upcoming elections.
