As the global community continues to grapple with the coronavirus (COVID-19), the Atlantic Council is open for business. Our business, meetings, and events, however, are occurring virtually. For more information, please read an update from our President and CEO.

After months of negotiations, Argentina released on July 5 what it says is a final restructuring proposal for $65 billion in debt. August 4 is the new deadline for creditors to accept the offer. Seeking to avoid default, will this latest package find a balance between creditors’ demands and the government’s financial and economic restrictions? A debt deal will determine the fate of the country’s long-term finances and the trajectory of the Argentine economy amid a global pandemic.

Under what conditions could an agreement be reached, and what would be the immediate and long-term implications of the deal? Deal or no deal: what are the implications for economic growth and investment in Argentina?

Join the Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center, in partnership with the Atlantic Council’s Global Business & Economics Program, on Tuesday, July 14, 2020, from 2:00 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. EDT (3:00 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. Buenos Aires time), for a conversation with former Argentine officials, financial experts, and private sector leaders on future scenarios and consequences for the country and the region.
