Overview
- After an hour-long meeting at the Economy Ministry, both sides said talks were constructive, but no agreement was reached and technical teams will keep working.
- The city says ARS 274,000 million are owed since August from slowed weekly transfers of the court-ordered 1.55%, while the 1.40% daily flow continues.
- Jorge Macri asked for the arrears and ongoing weekly transfers to be explicitly written into the 2026 Budget, which reporting indicates does not include that item.
- Participants included Jorge Macri, Economy Minister Luis Caputo, Gabriel Sánchez Zinny, Gabino Tapia, Gustavo Arengo, Carlos Guberman and Valeria Sánchez.
- Beyond the arrears, the city maintains a separate claim to restore a 3.5% share and recover about US$6 billion tied to the 2020 cut, as broader budget negotiations unfold with new Interior Minister Diego Santilli and critics like Axel Kicillof in the mix.
