Argentina: When the rubber meets the road
On debt sustainability and risks ahead
- The IMF staff assesses Argentina’s Federal debt as sustainable albeit not with a high probability, which has raised a number of questions from investors
- We present our own sustainability analysis for the Federal debt, and complement the discussion with the National debt (Federal plus Provinces) and a broader Public Sector debt metric (National debt plus BCRA’s Lebac liabilities)
- We broadly agree with IMF staff assessment: In our baseline scenario debt is sustainable, although we see higher debt-to-GDP levels than the staff
- But the debt profile vulnerabilities together with our view that the peso is not currently undervalued could raise sustainability risks ahead
- Therefore, scenarios in which debt sustainability comes under question cannot be bucketed as tail-risk scenarios
