Argentine President Javier Milei on April 2, 2026 REUTERS/Agustin Marcarian The Argentine government has authorized contracting up to $5 billion in financing with international institutions backed by multilateral credit organizations, according to a decree published on Monday (22). The measure was signed by President Javier Milei, Economy Minister Luis Caputo, and Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni. The goal is to reduce the country's debt costs through dollar-denominated loans that will have partial guarantees from multilateral organizations. 🗒️Have a news tip?

At the same time, it establishes that certain Argentine state assets cannot be used as collateral for these operations. Among the protected assets are central bank reserves and accounts, assets linked to the provision of essential public services, and revenues obtained from taxes and royalties. The text also authorizes the Treasury and Finance Secretariats to define the financing conditions, contract the institutions involved, and manage the instruments necessary for the operations. Milei sustains himself through the disorganization of the opposition and loses strength amid internal crises.
