Argentina has launched a landmark sale of US dollar-denominated bonds maturing in 100 years, a dramatic market rehabilitation for a nation that spent more than a decade fighting investors over the fallout from its default on $100bn of debt in 2001. Argentina removed currency controls only in 2015 and has yet to gain an investment grade credit rating, but investors have been enthused by President Mauricio Macri’s appointment of market-friendly officials and reform measures. Argentina issued $16.5bn of debt in a record return to the market in April 2016, after Mr Macri cut a deal with creditors who had refused to accept a restructuring of defaulted debt. It has since issued bonds in a variety of currencies and maturities.
