Overview
- The national government transferred $47,000 million in Aportes del Tesoro Nacional to 11 provinces on March 19–20, with Corrientes receiving $8,000 million, Mendoza $7,000 million, and Entre Ríos $6,000 million.
- ATN are federal funds equal to 1% of shared tax revenue that the executive can allocate at its discretion to cover emergencies or fiscal gaps in provincial accounts.
- The March disbursements were about 129% higher in real terms than February’s $20,000 million and lifted the first‑quarter total to $74,000 million, a 29% real rise from a year earlier.
- Politikon Chaco reported that most money went to provinces governed by allies of President Javier Milei, a link the administration disputes as it faces legislative bargaining and strained local finances.
- Mendoza’s finance ministry confirmed it received $7,000 million and said the money will fund an agricultural emergency to aid producers hit by frosts and hail during the 2025–2026 growing season.
