Argentina tries to pay bondholders via byzantine global payments systems

This week Argentina struggled to use the byzantine global payments systems Euroclear and Clearstream to distribute money to bondholders in defiance of a US court ruling.

Clearstream confirmed on Monday that it had put a stay on ties with Citi Argentina after local markets authorities suspended Citi’s licences for its custody and brokerage businesses owing to the stand-off. Both Clearstream and Euroclear have already shut trading bridges on almost $10bn of Argentine bonds issued under local law.*
