Challenges

Final. The Court of Appeal dismissed Argentina’s appeal in 2024, and the UK Supreme Court refused permission to appeal on October 14, 2024.

Enforcement

Argentina posted about €310M as a condition of appeal. An English worldwide asset-disclosure order was reported in February 2026. United States: recognition proceedings in the D.D.C. (1:25-cv-01954), filed in June 2025, where Argentina moved to dismiss. Separate New York suits on the dollar GDP warrants have not reached judgment.

Recovered to date

Payout of the deposit not verified. About €1B is reported as still owed.

Notes

Partly secured by the deposit posted on appeal.
