Overview
- The governor filed the Budget, Tax Law and a Financing Law to the provincial Legislature and formally asked for an economic emergency declaration.
- The financing bill requests authorization for $1.9 billion in new external credit plus $1.045 billion previously pending to refinance debt maturities, with a proposed Fund for Municipalities.
- Officials said failure to refinance would force pressure on the general budget as they reiterated a claim that national transfers are in arrears.
- The government outlined priorities including 3.2 trillion pesos for capital investment, 1.7 trillion for health, 1.3 trillion for education and resources for security.
- Economic minister Pablo López said there will be no increase in Ingresos Brutos rates, with more progressive property taxes and reductions to auto and stamp taxes, while approval now hinges on Peronist negotiations over legislative and institutional posts.
