ARThe provincial government of Neuquén has initiated meetings with investors in New York to issue bonds worth up to US$500 million, marking its return to the international debt market after nearly nine years. The initiative follows improved public finances, increased revenues from the Vaca Muerta oil and gas field, and heightened investor interest in Argentine assets. The province aims to secure financing at interest rates between 7% and 8%, with at least 70% of funds allocated to infrastructure projects. The final terms will depend on investor demand and market conditions. This move comes as Neuquén faces over US$300 million in upcoming debt obligations and seeks longer-term funding to support development while maintaining fiscal balance. Fitch Ratings recently upgraded Neuquén’s credit rating to 'B-' due to improved fiscal capacity and growth in oil-related revenues.
