It is against this background that Argentina made the decision to settle its debt with the Paris Club, which reflects the country’s willingness to pay and creditworthiness. This decision is part of a comprehensive strategy to access the debt markets voluntarily — not only for the government but also for the private sector.
Furthermore, this is a clear proof of what this seminar aims at: an opportunity to turn over a new leaf which is, undoubtedly, a step forward in our country's international financial integration. After paying the debt, Argentina will continue to maintain robust international reserve levels as a percentage of GDP, both in comparison with other countries and with its own previous historical levels.
