Argentina confident on bond payment after law approval

BUENOS AIRES: Argentina will pay holders of its restructured sovereign debt, thanks to a bill passed by its Congress last week despite a US court ruling, the country's economy minister told a local radio show on Sunday.

"With the law we have assured that the next coupon payment, due in a few days at the end of September, will be once again paid by us. So there can be no talk of default," Axel Kicillof said on Radio Nacional Rock.
