Argentina will continue talks this week and next with creditors over restructuring its $83 billion in foreign debt, Economy Minister Martin Guzman said on Tuesday, after the South
American country missed the March 31 deadline it had set previously.
Argentina is racing to revamp its foreign currency debt and avoid a default that would put its access to global markets at risk just as the coronavirus outbreak is sweeping through the region.
Argentine negotiators were working as quickly as possible to ship a fresh deal to its creditors, but the pandemic had stalled the process, Guzman told a news conference.
