Table of Contents
Five governors from across Argentina have signed agreements with the national government, paving the way for a unique debt relief program. The program,known as the Regime of Extinction of Reciprocal Obligations,allows provinces to exchange assets like land,companies,and infrastructure for the cancellation of federal debts.
The governors of Catamarca, Tucumán, La Pampa, Chaco, and Entre Ríos met with Economy Minister Luis Caputo and Vice Chief of Cabinet Lisandro Catalán on Friday to formalize their participation.
“This is a consolation prize in the face of the lack of a 2025 budget,” a source close to one of the northern governors told NewsDirectory3.
The program, announced earlier this month, has already sparked interest from several provinces. Governors Raúl jalil of Catamarca and Gustavo Sáenz of Salta have expressed interest in using the regime to take control of Belgrano Cargas, a state-owned railway company slated for privatization.
In Córdoba, where the legislature recently authorized Governor Martín Llaryora to join the program, there is speculation that the Fábrica Argentina de Aviones (Fadea) could be transferred to provincial control.
To participate, provincial legislatures had to approve measures authorizing their governors to sign the agreements.
The debt relief program comes as the national government negotiates the 2025 budget with provincial leaders.[[
