The Government agreed on a payment scheme to regularize the debt it has with Santa Fe

The national government agreed with the province of Santa Fe a disbursement scheme for the payment of a debt of around $ 132 billion that the central administration maintains with the jurisdiction for years, Economy Minister Martin Guzman and Governor Omar Perotti reported Wednesday afternoon, in a press conference held at the Casa Rosada. The announcement followed a meeting with President Alberto Fernandez. In addition, it was reported that in return, the province will regularize its situation with the Federal Administration of Public Revenue (AFIP) and will join the national collection scheme in which the other districts participate. The governor explained that the signed agreement updated the amount of the debt to $ 151,800 million and specified that “it will be canceled through bonds that can be updated by CER.” According to Perotti, the understanding reached will be expressed in a joint presentation by the Ministry of Economy and the Santa Fe prosecutor’s office before the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation. 
“For us it is the final instance of a process that had the province for a long time in a claim before the Nation,” Perotti said and stressed: “It has been a commitment assumed by the president in his campaign with our province, which he had claimed without success in previous periods.” For his part, Guzmán said that “with the agreement, a disbursement services scheme of the payment of the debt with the province of $ 132 billion is agreed and a situation with the AFIP is regularized, adding Santa Fe to the rest of the provinces in terms of strengthening collection services.”
