Rising household debt among young Argentines tests support for President Milei
Nearly half of Argentina's 45 million people owe money, with over 5 million behind on payments, according to the Centre for City Studies. Borrowers under 25 have the highest delinquency rate at 37.6%. Opposition lawmakers have called a special session of Congress to consider interest-rate caps and other debt relief measures, while President Javier Milei has rejected government intervention, calling unpaid debts a private matter.
