The Loan is designed to support the implementation of a program by the Borrower Santa Fe Province aimed at reforming its government so as to ensure an efficient and responsive delivery of public services within fiscally sound policies.
While the Province has largely been able to successfully implement the program, due to the impact of the severe macroeconomic developments in Argentina and the resulting deterioration in social conditions, the Loan is being reformulated in terms of waivers/amendments to individual conditions.
In keeping with the original development objective, the reformulated loan would continue to support the Province of Santa Fe's reform efforts to achieve fiscal stability at the provincial level and promote structural reforms to improve the efficiency, quality and equity of public spending, particularly in the social sectors.
