PerfilLO·AR·about 3 hours ago
Argentine corporate delinquency is accelerating, with 1,937 companies entering delinquency in September and Fidelitas' SERF index at 37.7 points, firmly in the High Risk category. The cumulative figure of nearly 59,000 firms struggling to pay debts signals broad-based financial stress in the corporate sector. This suggests deteriorating credit conditions and potential headwinds for economic activity, though the exact systemic impact remains uncertain.
