VOICED : Argentina sale del exilio financiero y coloca bonos de deuda

Argentina re-entered the global financial markets by issuing $16.5 billion in sovereign debt, marking the largest demand in emerging markets history. The debt, with an average interest rate of 7.2%, has maturities of 3, 5, 10, and 30 years. The funds will be used to pay speculative funds and support government finances. This move ends Argentina's 15-year exile from global debt markets following the 2001 collapse. The issuance signifies Argentina's exit from default, which had hindered economic growth. Two-thirds of investors are from the U.S., with others from Europe, Asia, and Latin America. The bonds will be issued under New York jurisdiction.
