The Province’s experience in the international markets
The Province of Buenos Aires issued a bond in the international markets for the first time in 1994. Since then, the Province has carried out 32 issuances between Investment Bonds and Letras de Descuento (financing with terms shorter than one year).
During 2002-2005 the public debt payment deferral did not allow the Province to obtain financing abroad. In those years, the Province carried out the defaulted debt restructuring process. This operation was completed with a 95% level of acceptance from the bondholders.
As the international markets regained their trust in the Province and the investors in the provincial bonds, the Province initialized the “post default stage”. The first issuance of the post default stage was conducted in 2006.
