Government agrees with Buenos Aires to include debt payment in 2026 budget

The Argentine government has reached an agreement with the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires to include the payment of coparticipation debt in the 2026 Budget. This decision is expected to be part of the project that has already received a report in committee.

The agreement between the national government and the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA) represents progress in resolving the coparticipation debt. Reports indicate that this measure will be incorporated into the 2026 Budget project, which has already been favorably reported in the relevant committee of the Lower House. The negotiations, though not detailed extensively, reflect efforts to align finances between the central government and the capital. This step aims to regularize pending payments from the federal fund distribution, a recurring issue in Argentina's inter-jurisdictional relations. Exact amounts or implementation timelines are not specified in the available information, but the consensus points to prompt inclusion in the budget framework.
