Argentina-Colombia sovereign-debt dispute escalates: Argentina’s external debt is cited at a record USD 320.305bn for Dec. 2025, while Colombia says it repaid USD 5.0–5.4bn to the IMF and canceled its Flexible Credit Line. 📊 The comparison is politically potent but analytically incomplete: Argentina’s gross debt is cited around USD 425–455bn through Dec. 2025, while debt-to-GDP is cited as falling from ~155% in 2023 to ~78–79% in 2025. 📊 Colombia’s IMF exit did not end the leverage debate: external debt is cited at USD 246.801bn, or ~53.8% of GDP, with government debt cited rising from COP 804tn to COP 1.192qd and reserves around USD 65.5–66.3bn. 🔥 Watch definitions, not slogans: gross vs net debt, external vs domestic funding, consolidated public-sector measures and refinancing costs will determine the fiscal read-through for Milei/Caputo and Petro. #Argentina #Colombia #IMF #SovereignDebt #LatAm
