Argentina looking to issue up to $1.2 billion in bonds backed by World Bank, CAF -ministry source

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Argentine government is in talks to issue two dollar-bonds for up to $600 million each with separate guarantees from the World Bank and the CAF as collateral, a source from Argentinas Economy Ministry said on Friday.

华盛顿（路透社）——阿根廷经济部的一位消息人士周五表示，阿根廷政府正在商谈发行两笔最高 6 亿美元的美元债券，分别由世界银行和 caf 提供担保作为抵押品。

The World Bank and CAF-Development Bank of Latin America could not be immediately reached for comment.

无法立即联系到世界银行和 caf-拉丁美洲开发银行置评。

The operation, which would take place in the coming weeks, would guarantee 60% of the issuance, and the notes would have a maximum maturity of five years, said the ministry source, who asked not to be identified.

这位不愿透露姓名的财政部消息人士称，这项行动将在未来几周内进行，将保证 60% 的发行量，并且这些票据的最长期限为五年。

The push is to issue two separate bonds, each with a separate backing, for up to $600 million each, the source said.

消息人士称，此举旨在发行两份单独的债券，每份都有单独的支持，每份债券的金额高达 6 亿美元。

There is no assurance yet that the bonds will be issued.

目前尚不能保证债券将会发行。

“What (the guarantee) allows is for the interest rate to be set on the qualification of the banks” and not Argentinas, said the source.

消息人士称，“（担保）允许的是根据银行的资格设定利率”，而不是阿根廷人。

Argentinas recently restructured bonds trade in the 30-cents-on-the-dollar area. Annualized inflation stands at 104% and is expected to remain at triple digits until at least the end of the year, while economic output is expected to contract compared with 2022.

阿根廷最近重组的债券交易在 30 美分兑 1 美元的区域。年化通货膨胀率为 104%，预计至少到今年年底仍将保持在三位数，而经济产出预计将比 2022 年收缩。

Argentine dollar bonds currently yield between 22% and 42% in the debt market.

阿根廷美元债券目前在债务市场上的收益率在 22% 至 42% 之间。
