Argentina Scrambles To Raise $10 Billion, Avoid Reserve Collapse; BONARs Bidless
A few days ago, in the aftermath of Argentina's shocking devaluation announcement, we showed the one most important chart for the future of that country's economy: the correlation between the value of the Arg Peso and the amount of Central Bank foreign reserves, both crashing. And as we predicted when we, before anyone else, started our countdown of Argentina's reserves, once the number hits zero it's game over for the Latin American country. Or rather, game over again, considering the number of times in the past Argentina has defaulted. Unfortunately over the past week, things for the Central Bank have gone from bad to worse and were capped overnight with the following headline:
- ARGENTINE CENTRAL BANK SAYS RESERVES FELL $170M TO 28.1B TODAY
And this is what Argentina's reserve depletion looks like:
To summarize: Argentina has now burned through $2 billion in less than two weeks, the fastest outflow since 2006, and a trend which if sustained (and we see no reason why it would change), means it has just over half a year left of reserves projecting a linear decline. However, since the lower the amount of reserves, the faster the withdrawals will come, it is safe to predict that the endgame for Argentina will come far sooner, just as its suddenly crashing bonds seem to have realized.
Which is perhaps why, as Argentina's La Nacion reports, the country is suddenly, and long overdue, scrambling to raise $10 billion to "counter the flight of capital" from the country.
Alas, it just may be too late.
According to the website, Argentina's economy minister Axel Kicillof secretly approached international banks, the same one he has been criticizing over the past months, with a simple request: please give me $10 billion. Alas, considering the country's track record of "honoring" its debt repayment promises, not even promising the required interest rate of +? will do much to generate interest in this particular offer banks can not refuse. Or, rather, can and will.
From La Nacion, Google translated:
Nacion reporters say that the meeting was held in strictest confidence, just in the days before major upheaval in the exchange market. When asked about it, the Economy Ministry spokesman did not confirm nor denied the information, in ABA did not respond to calls from this newspaper.
It is imperative for Argentina to get the dollars that can counter the flight of capital, which in January alone cost the Central Bank (BCRA) U.S. $ 2.499 billion of its reserves. It was the biggest drop since 2006, when the country repaid its entire debt of more than U.S. $ 9 billion to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The minister confided bankers requesting leave to look for dollars abroad, either by issuing new debt or through commercial credit lines that banks could get. Some entities, according to sources consulted by the NATION, and would have set to work to organize a tour to Kicillof investment to New York this month.
In other words, Argentina will be meeting Goldman shortly. So, in the aftermath of the Denmark Dong affair, we can probably expect another government "overhaul" in a few months, mediated by everyone's favorite vampire squid who is about to make Argentina an offer it can't refuse. Or maybe even Goldman won't touch this any more:
The order of Kicillof, noted the sources, was debated this week between ABA bankers. Although they pledged to work in private they also recognized that it will be difficult in the current context for Argentina to access fresh funding at a reasonable rate of interest and, especially, in the amounts the Government needs, somewhere around U.S. $ 10,000 million.
It gets worse:
In addition, they assert, although the Government intends to solve their conflicts with the Paris Club and Repsol, the devaluation of 18.6% recorded in January, the highest in the last 12 years, quite complicated negotiations, and that sowed new doubts about the ability to repay debt Argentina.
Yes, well, losing 20% of your investment "gains" overnight due to an arbitrary decision by the government does kinda make one want to invest in said government for a bit to quite a bit. As for the inflationary panic that has already gripped the country, and which we already commented on, well - it's only just begun.
Still, all of the above is largely expected, and was perfectly predictable by anyone not caught up in overconsumption of hopium pills, or having their head stuck in the sand of denial. The one thing we did learn is something which will soon make the front pages of all serious media publications around the globe.
After sharp declines in recent weeks, a sovereign dollar bond Bonar 17 yielded 16.2% yesterday.... Several weeks ago Kicillof announced his intentions to return to the debt markets. The National Social Security Administration (Anses) began in early January to sell their bonds in the market Bonar 18 to contain the escalation of the "dollar bag" on one hand, but also to begin to make a curve in the medium term rates.
Curious what the BONAR is? Courtesy of this handy glossary of Argentine financial terms and acronyms, we now know that it is the formal name of an Argentina dollar-denominated bond issued under domestic law. Or, as in the case of Greece, precisely the instrument that will quite soon be crammed down due to non-existent covenant protection for creditors.
In other words, in a worst case for Argentina scenario, watch as hundreds of millions of BONARs suddenly deflate to nothing in a bidless market.

I just can't believe no one wants Christina's BONAR.
Bitcoin anybody ? ?
hey is that a worthless BONAR in your pocked or are you just happy to see me ?!
... BONARs - bidless
Bohner (and Pelosi) - dickless ;-)

I came here so I could see the chick with the titties. Where the hell is the picture of the chick with the titties?

TruthInSunshine: "Brazil will take it directly in its ass in the NOT-too-distant future."
Perhaps, but only temporarily. The real story isn't in fiat paper, but in energy. They have offshore oil, good EROEI ethanol--and we spand more oil heating our homes than they spend **for everything**.
You may be right, but the game will shift afterwards.

Argentina should nationalize Lionel Messi (and every other good Argentinian player) and rent him for few billions a month to Chelsea or one of those Russian oligarch owned soccer teams ... problem solved.
Scarlet, I like Brazilians very much, and this isn't a wish, but my opinion of where current economic events leave Brazil; their offshore oil deposits are a long term storehouse of wealth (that is really only net-positive to extract if oil were priced much higher than currently, being extraordinarily deep under the deep layer of rock that is located under ocean) rather than an immediate source of assets to tap and liquify in order to offset their current crisis born of MASSIVE DEBT/CREDIT expansion.
They do have an efficient sugar cane-to-ethanol processing & refining sector, but it's not of a large enough scale economically to pay down their quickly spoiling shadow debt.
Brazil has a looming date with its debt legacy born of massive misallocation of investment during the "hot money" beta chasing BRIC boom years.
Like Jim Rogers says, commodity based economies, like Brazil, eventually have major problems.
Argentina has the hottest women in the world. It is no wonder how many times they have defaulted.
this top ten is fairly real, and i hit three of them.
I agree on all that; I just happen to think that domino falls but returns quite well after some years. But what do I know; they could be heading Venezuela with those people in power.
Everyone needs to remember the Fed buys USTs putting cash into the PDs hands. When the Fed is not putting as much cash into PD hands, they can't distribute as much. In the end, the bonds of States like Argentina go bidless.
Indeed! Fed dollars drive the world, and we are watching more than one currency heading for the shitter.

Brazil's deep water oil is years away and as you said is deep under the sea. Good post.
As far as Argentina - this is what 70 + years or Peronism socialism leads to. Endless corruption, defaults and more. Argentina is like the Detroit of South America. Very attractive people, talented, in a resource rich land of abundant food. It is pretty sickening that any people could mismanage their affairs so badly. Kirschner reminds me of Pelosi. Argentina is like a country Pelosi would run into the ground while robbing the people blind.
But I thought the World Cup profit generation machine will save Brazil no?
Argentina imports more silicone implants per capita than any other country in the world
Obviously inflationary.

The headlines aren't bad. It's all Kardashians, Super Bowl, Tweet Me, Legalize Weed, Amnesty, Red vs Blue, Buy iShit, and on and on and on. It's all just a distraction and addiction for the masses to keep the sheeple contained. Bad headlines will be homeless masses rioting in the streets because they are starving. Anything else is just more of the same. The way things are going, we are years from real change for the better. Probably decades.

Documentary by Fernando E. Solanas, in Spanish w/ Eng subtitles, 700mb... 'file is still alive'
Summary:
{IMDb version}: After the fall of the military dictatorship in 1983, successive democratic governments launched a series of reforms purporting to turn Argentina into the world's most liberal and prosperous economy. Less than twenty years later, the Argentinians have lost literally everything: major national companies have been sold well below value to foreign corporations; the proceeds of privatizations have been diverted into the pockets of corrupt officials; revised labour laws have taken away all rights from employees; in a country that is traditionally an important exporter of foodstuffs, malnutrition is widespread; millions of people are unemployed and sinking into poverty; and their savings have disappeared in a final banking collapse. The film highlights numerous political, financial, social and judicial aspects that mark out Argentina's road to ruin.
{freedocumentaries version}: Documentary on the events that led to the economic collapse of Argentina in 2001 which wiped out the middle class and raised the level of poverty to 57.5%. Central to the collapse was the implementation of neo-liberal policies which enabled the swindle of billions of dollars by foreign banks and corporations. Many of Argentina's assets and resources were shamefully plundered. Its financial system was even used for money laundering by Citibank, Credit Suisse, and JP Morgan. The net result was massive wealth transfers and the impoverishment of society which culminated in many deaths due to oppression and malnutrition.
And here's the Topdocumentaryfilms link.
{neithercorp version @YT}: Neithercorp is featuring this fantastic documentary due to its uncanny similarity and relevance to the economic looting that is now taking place in the United States and elsewhere. We are also focusing on this particular doc because it is not an English language film, and a lot of Americans are not aware of it. This is an extremely well-made film that will provide a clear perspective on how engineered financial collapses occur, who carries out these policies, and what to expect in an extreme hyper-inflationary depression scenario. Please watch it and share it with those you care about. We would like to thank Youtube user WorldIssues2000, who originally posted this documentary. We hope WorldIssues2000 and the makers of this doc do not mind us helping them spread their work to new audiences. We just want the film to be seen.

I did see where the Urban Dictionary has an entry where Finance Minister is now hip code for Asshole, so he's got that going for him.

Coincidence? I think not...
f you made me barf.
reality is even many of these 'emerging markets' in many cases only have growth because they are making their exports cheaper. There is no such thing as a free lunch; sure you can obtain more work by making it cheaper but then when you want to consume, your currency won't buy much.
Freeing up markets always has to be the goal. Some of these countries like China have taken huge strides, but to increase returns on that they need to have sound money that reflects the productivity, as opposed to selling it all off to foreigners for worthless fiat and depriving its people of higher standards of living.
Sad to see even some ZHers on here seem to go along with the idea that the Greeks' panacea would be to just print a bunch of drachma to get out of its problems. Of course the Greeks and everyone else need national sovereignty, but printing does not lead to prosperity, What they need is sound money like anyone else. Reduce labor costs by eliminating taxes and having more certainty as to the purchasing power of your money, i.e., having it gold-backed. The reality is that while of course the Greek politicians sold out to the ECB and IMF, the people went right along with the spending and have tons of culpability as well. These pols who support such evil are a reflection of evidently a large number of citizens; same could be said for the U.S.
Central planning and intervention in markets always fails is the bottom line, whether it leads to credit-fueled consumption or malinvestments or both. I will say that I wouldn't underestimate the Chinese despite their huge malinvestments because they have such a proclivity to save and save in terms of gold increasingly, apparently. And it's easier to transition to reaping the benefits of one's own productivity than it is to do what the Western nations will have to do which is go through legitimate austerity and save and produce.
I don't believe anyone here thinks that printing moar is the solution, but what do Govt's do? That's right, they print!
Argentina has no capital controls? Color me surprised.
This has the fingerprints of IMF and World Bank plastered all over it.
Didn't they throw Italian Pensioners under the bus in big way the last time "but still got the money anyways"?
And then they nationalized Repsol.

Weak and fragile governments can be at the mercy of foreign powers who knock on their door with gifts.
Look at the hot spots over the last few years and US fingerprints are all over them.
The USA methodology may be crude and rude but it is still the driving force in this deteriorating world.
No one should underestimate the reach and resolve of the US to do what it is doing for as long as it holds the privilege of the major reserve currency.
None of what's going on will cease until that privilege is lost.
Argentina of course has created its own hell and turned from being the richest country in the world to a basket case.
Burned through 2 Billion in 2 weeks??? Pussies...shit, our Fed has been printing 2.5 Billion or more each fucking day for over a year and look how great everything is now! I'm sure now that Ben Shalom has some time on his hands he could always fly down to Argentina and show them bitchez how to use CTRL-P ;-)

Argentina receives terrible press stateside because of its unwillingness to kowtow to the New World Order.
It's very calm and peaceful here. Excellent harvest just gathered in the countryside. So long as the price of Soy holds firm, Argentina will muddle through.
Might buy a few of those BONARs or maybe BODENs.
Ciao.
Lol. A guy like you who can afford massages and dinner out is in the top 20 percent per capita income bracket for sure.
You wouldn't dare walk alone at night in the neighborhoods where the bottom half live, not dressed up for dinner and a party anyway.

@ Gromit
I do appreciate your leadership's unwillingness to kowtow to the Worldly Gods' interests, may the nation of Argentina muddle through the hardships and be resilient, be vigil and remain to be independent, keep its sovereignty both politically and economically!
Globalization has been swallowing so many nations and enslaving many of them today.
It 's surprising to me how little sympathy Argentina recevies here on ZH.
The"End the Fed" fraternity should be natural supporters of a government more interested in people's welfare than corporate mutinationlaas profits.
But maybe the temptation to "pile on" is just too strong.
I'm not Argentino - just a tourist with dollar source income enjoying a fine vacation.
Raffle off those tits or pop up a dick washing tent to raise cash. Otherwise, take your corruption pill and STFU. How much longer do we to endure this mess?
The head line news though was Christina annoucing new government scholarships to high school students. Not a word about the Peso.
Stick the BONAR in the Anses and that should keep the idiots busy for awhile.
Only $10B? That's childs play. Even modest Ponzi schemes in America can pull that in no problem.
No such thing as a free lunch. When you peg your currency too high for political reasons the eventual exchange rate crash will be worse than necessary.
Even a low circulation currency like the peso would be more stable and cause less capital misallocation if it were freely floated with a central bank making a (non manipulated) derivative market
Maduro in Venezuela is going to learn his lesson too.
