Jujuy extends debt relief plan for public employees amid rising delinquency
The government of Jujuy has extended a debt restructuring plan for provincial and municipal public employees through the end of September. The initiative, promoted by Governor Carlos Sadir, aims to alleviate the financial burden on workers by offering interest rate reductions of between 6% and 7% for those using the Banco Macro 'Plan Sueldo Público'. This extension follows two previous postponements intended to stabilize worker purchasing power amid a complex macroeconomic environment.
Simultaneously, data from the Centro de Economía Política Argentina highlights significant financial challenges in the region. In July 2026, the delinquency rate among Jujuy families reached 15.7%, affecting approximately 86,618 people in the credit system. While the province ranks 17th among Argentina's 24 jurisdictions for relatively low non-compliance, specific sectors show high volatility: traditional banking delinquency stands at 10.8%, whereas non-financial providers and digital wallets have seen rates climb to 31.6%.
