Staatsschulden: Argentinien vergibt künftig Staatsbürgerschaft an Investoren

Buenos Aires - Argentina plans to grant citizenship to investors through a new program, according to the country's Economic Minister, Luis Caputo. The announcement was made during the "Argentina Week" event in Paris. The program will take effect starting this quarter, with two mechanisms available for applicants: a direct and non-refundable deposit of $350,000 (approximately €311,000) to the Argentine Ministry of Finance, or the purchase of a designated government bond worth $800,000 (around €710,000).

Close relatives of the primary applicant can also apply for citizenship. Spouses and children aged between 18 and 25, who are unmarried and childless, can request citizenship by making a $100,000 (about €89,000) deposit to the Ministry of Finance. For minors, a deposit of $25,000 (approximately €22,000) is required. Applications will undergo a rigorous screening process aimed at safeguarding national security, maintaining the integrity of the financial system, and preserving Argentina's international reputation. The reform aims to bolster the investment climate and attract more capital inflows.
