Overview
- Carsa formally submitted a concurso preventivo request to the Comisión Nacional de Valores and the Buenos Aires stock exchange after filing legal papers on July 7 to the court in Resistencia.
- The company says the move is meant to keep stores open, protect assets and jobs, and enable an orderly negotiation with creditors under judicial oversight.
- Central Bank records show Carsa carried roughly 3.06 billion pesos of bank liabilities at the end of May, with Banco Nación the largest creditor at about 1.549 billion pesos and significant exposures to Banco Macro and regional banks.
- Carsa now operates roughly 50 Musimundo outlets after recent closures that included five stores, a shrinkage driven by falling demand for appliances, rising customer defaults and growth of online sales.
- Reports of pre‑filing talks with the owners of On City are unconfirmed and developing, and the case follows prior restructurings in 2018 and 2021 that reshaped the company and will shape what creditors seek in coming negotiations.
