Argentine Economy Minister Luis Caputo has addressed both domestic economic policy and personal legal challenges. Regarding the financial sector, Caputo rejected the use of taxpayer funds to bail out debtors or banks facing rising credit delinquency, labeling such intervention as “populism” and “immoral.” He stated that the current delinquency rate is not a systemic risk and noted that banks are working with clients to refinance debt.

Separately, the Federal Criminal and Correctional Chamber confirmed the definitive dismissal of a judicial investigation into Caputo. The case, which originated in 2017, investigated allegations of incompatible negotiations and the use of offshore companies during his previous tenure in the Macri administration. The court ruled there was no evidence of criminal intent or the use of privileged information in bond acquisitions.
