First defuse the threat to Ukraine, then work on how to integrate the European Union (EU) into discussions on the security of its continent by arriving with a united front. It is in this state of mind that the Europeans approached Friday the new session of discussions between Washington and Moscow in Geneva. Without great illusions, however, and faced with several internal divisions, in particular on the attitude to adopt vis-à-vis Moscow and on the proximity of Vladimir Poutine with several capitals, starting with Berlin and Paris.

Masterchef Celebrity: after the repechage, it was defined which are the two participants who return to the competition
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
This was an unusual Sunday in Masterchef Celebrity. The contest took a break from the elimination galas to deliver an evening that concluded with the return of two participants. Thus, among all those eliminated there were two players who stood out as the best dishes and who are – once more – in the race. Among those who aspired to victory were Juariu, the “Tigress” Acuña, the “Negro” Enrique, Tití Fernández, Denise Dumas, Charlotte Caniggia Y Gastón Ceilings.
Shortly following 10:30 p.m. Santiago del Moro began the broadcast of the reality show, and gave the floor to the juries. The first to speak was Damien Betular, who shared the slogan of the first challenge: “They are going to have to scratch a carrot in the least amount of time possible.” The winner of the test was the “Tigress”.
After that initial instance, the driver announced a second challenge, and proceeded to give all the participants a red bag, which contained a puzzle inside. Donato de Santis He explained that it was “a test of speed and concentration”, and Betular added that they should put it together “in the shortest possible time.” Then, German Martitegui He completed: “The benefit of this mini test can bring you closer to winning.” In that instance, Juariu was revealed as the winner.
After that, he entered the scene Mecha Solis, a chef who was head of kitchen in a restaurant in Martitegui. The slogan of the night was to replicate one of his favorite recipes: a Caribbean cake. And regarding the test, Donato explained: “We are going to ask them to add one more fruit so that each one can give it their personal touch.” The benefit that Juariu and Acuña agreed to was having three minutes with the expert to ask her all the questions they wanted regarding the preparation.
After a lot of stress, numerous accidents and all kinds of complexities in the preparations, the contestants finished (or attempted to finish) their Caribbean cakes. The first to come forward was Juariu, who added passion fruit and lemon zest to the recipe. When tasting it, Martitegui noticed that the flavor was “quite good” and applauded the fact that it managed to “add personality to it.”
When his turn came, Gastón Soffritti brought a plate that looked very undone, and Betular assured: “I love the cake. Aesthetically it is destroyed, but the cut looked good on you ”.
La Tigresa Acuña added papaya and cinnamon to her cake. In view of this, the return was very positive, and Martitegui said: “The papaya was perfect, and it was risky. The cinnamon is very original and it turned out very well, but there is a question of form ”.
Next, Denise Dumas, who mightn’t help breaking the lid when finishing her cake, received an unexpected compliment from Martitegui: “In this fight, there is flavor and aesthetics. The taste is very good ”.
Then, it was time for Tití Fernández, who also opted for papaya. However, the jury was not completely enthusiastic regarding the result and highlighted that there was a problem “in the construction”.
In his turn, the “Negro” Enrique might not satisfy the specialists either, who detected numerous problems, including the volume.
The round was finished by Charlotte. And Martitegui stressed that, although she “cooks rich, the problem is when she must replicate a dish.” “The filling is not ugly, but it is strange, a little liquid,” added Betular.
After intense deliberation, it was time to announce who were the participants who were returning to the gala; and with a lot of emotion, finally the chosen ones were Juariu and Denise Dumas.
The Government today pays the bondholders almost US $ 700 million
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
According to a calculation by the consulting firm 1816, $ 538 million will go to the accounts of private creditors. Therefore, US $ 155 million would go to the hands of public entities (the Sustainability Guarantee Fund of the Anses and the Central Bank, mainly). According to information from the Congressional Budget Office, US $ 243 million correspond to bonds issued under local jurisdiction (AL29, AL30, AL35, AE38 and AL41), US $ 426 million to US dollar securities under New York law ( GD29, GD30, GD35, GD38, GD41 and GD46) and the equivalent of US $ 24 million to the global ones issued in euros (GE29, GE30, GE35, GE38, GE41 and GE46).
These titles, launched by Martín Guzmán in 2020 to restructure the debt in foreign currency following Mauricio Macri’s mega-indebtedness, they do not stipulate principal payments until 2024 and they had a significant cut in average interest rates (from 7% to around 3%). Coupons have a bottom-up structure to ease payments in the early years. On this occasion, the interest rate accrued during the previous six months was between 0.5% and 2.5% nominal annually depending on the bond. The third payment, scheduled for July 9, will be at the same rate.
Still, in the next three weeks regarding $ 1.1 billion of the 2018 multimillion-dollar loan will mature: regarding $ 720 million in principal at the end of January and regarding $ 360 million in interest at the beginning of February. In the Government they avoid specifying what they will do with these commitments (especially with the capital one) and affirm that, with the negotiation underway, decisions are taken step by step. In March, there is another maturity of the multimillion dollar loan that Macri took for US $ 2,900 million, a figure that is already unaffordable. As a sign of its commitment to agreement, in 2021 the Executive paid some US $ 5.2 billion to the body headed by Kristalina Georgieva.
Those payments to the Fund and corporate dollar debt cancellations were the main factors preventing last year’s large trade surplus from swelling reserves, which closed slightly below the level at the end of 2020.
Meanwhile, the deal appears to be looming on the horizon, with an IMF calling for a more accelerated adjustment at the behest of the United States, which has the handle on key decisions. The tough position maintained by the country governed by Joe Biden is spurred in part by the same great Wall Street investment funds to whom the payment will be credited today. They see in the forcing of a more orthodox policy the possibility of recovering some of the value that the Argentine titles they have in their portfolios lost since the exchange until now. They are actors with wide access to the White House, such as Larry Fink, the president of BlackRock (the world’s largest fund manager), who before Janet Yellen’s appointment had been mentioned as a potential US Secretary of the Treasury.
Now, with tight reserves and the financial stress typical of a defining moment in negotiations, the maturities of foreign currency debt are a pressure factor for an already demanding summer in exchange matters. The objective of the BCRA is to avoid shocks and to sustain its new strategy of gradually accelerating the rate of depreciation to bring it closer to the inflation rate and keeping the real exchange rate relatively stable.
The dynamics of the first week of the year brought some relief. With a growing sale of the wheat crop, on Friday the Central managed to buy US $ 80 million and ended the first week of the year with a balance in favor of more than US $ 100 million. Seasonality through, is the best start to the month since last June, when the flow of the thick crop (soybeans and corn) was still felt.
Meanwhile, the economic team keeps the magnifying glass on the import payment operations. On the one hand, the AFIP implemented last week a new control system for purchases of services abroad, similar to the one already in force for goods. On the other hand, the BCRA put this approval of the collecting body as a condition for access to foreign currency and introduced adjustments in the limits for the advancement of inputs and imports of cars and motorcycles. However, official sources ensure that purchases abroad are at very high levels, in line with the recovery of activity.
