$ 3,000 million in sovereign bonuses

A new issue of sovereign bonds yesterday made the Government in the international capital market for a total of $ 3,000 million.

“This last issue will represent an additional $ 240 million in interest payments. It’s like a parent who does not have enough income to pay and has to keep borrowing, “Guerrero said. (I)
