Furthermore, it has the support of the IMF and the United States, so it is expected to avoid default (https://www.kreston.com/article/argentinas-2025-debt-crisis/)
Ecuador: In the case of Ecuador, it has recorded 10 consecutive years of significant fiscal deficits, mostly due to the payment of public sector salaries. No news has been found regarding a reduction in its main source of current expenditures, which suggests that this trend will continue, potentially leading to a default in debt payments.
