The Government limited the advance of funds and several public entities delayed the payment of salaries. The measure impacted universities and public hospitals.
The restrictions on the paid of salaries come after the failure of negotiations in Congress that forced the government to withdraw the fiscal package of the omnibus law. With these new measures, the Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo, seeks to achieve the "zero financial deficit" agreed with the IMF. The official decision fell like a bomb in the provinces that depend on advances from provincial banks or Banco Nación.
