ARThe article discusses proposals to refinance debts for individuals who have fallen out of the credit system in Argentina, aiming to restore their financial standing and stimulate consumption. Experts from Ronda de Economistas, including Carlos Burgueño, Pedro Gaite, Santiago Llull, and Santiago Asiain, debated various approaches to address debt defaults. Burgueño suggested using the Fondo de Garantía de Sustentabilidad (FGS) to refinance debts, while Gaite questioned this approach and emphasized the need to regulate banks' interest rates and fees. He criticized the tax burden on overdue payments and highlighted the market power of banks, which has led to high-interest rates and increased defaults. Asiain warned against the unchecked power of banks and digital wallets, arguing that they exploit captive audiences. The discussion underscores the systemic economic challenges posed by debt morosity and the need for reforms to reintegrate people into the credit system.
