Two Argentine solicitors announced they will be pressing criminal charges against the Ministry of Economy for having contracted Britain’s Barclays’ bank for a major sovereign defaulted bonds swap and this financial institution is “a shareholder of Desire Petroleum, the oil company which is poised to begin exploration operations this month in Malvinas waters”.

Argentina, whose 2001 default was the biggest by a country, is the safest on record relative to Greece in the market for credit-default swaps. Argentina’s economic growth is helping it pay debt while Greece relies on a European Union bailout to meet its obligations.
The cost of protecting Argentine debt against default for five years fell to 600 basis points on Nov. 5, the lowest since June 2008 and 266 less than Greek insurance, according to data provider CMA. Argentina has the third-most expensive debt to insure among the 71 countries tracked by CMA and Bloomberg after Greece and Venezuela.
