Argentina makes a significant payment of $4.3 billion on its sovereign bonds. The market is closely watching the reaction of private investors and the country's future country risk level.


Argentina Pays $4.3 Billion on Public Debt Bonds

Argentina today pays $4.3 billion in capital and interest on its public debt bonds, and market expectations are focused on how investors will react upon receiving the funds. Of this total, about $700 million is held by public entities, so it is expected to remain within the financial system without impacting reserves, according to reports received by the Argentine News Agency. The rest is in the hands of private investors, so all eyes are on whether there will be any reinvestment in Argentine assets. From the financial market, they also warn that during Friday's trading session, a fall in the price of Argentine bonds could occur. This would be due to a technical issue related to the form of payment, but it would have nothing to do with capital outflows. The government's main concern remains the country risk level. Despite the payments made and having fulfilled all commitments, the sovereign risk indicator remains in the 580-point zone, a value that prevents the country from returning to voluntary debt markets. During 2026, Argentina will face payments in foreign currency for over $16.3 billion.
