Argentina Lowers Debt Limits




Argentina’s Central Bank has said that banks will have to lower the amount of government paper they hold from 40% to 35% of assets by July of next year. The move is aimed at encouraging banks to increase their private loans portfolios. The increase in lending to the private sector and consumers will, in theory, help to stimulate economic growth.
