The Treasury issued 5.5 billion pesos of the 2017 notes in March, its first sale in local markets since 2009.<\/p>\n<p>By tapping the local market, President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner\u2019s government is reducing its dependence on state agencies and the central bank to finance its deficit, while helping the monetary authority drain liquidity from the economy. Argentina is mending relations with international creditors, compensating Repsol SA for the takeover of YPF SA and paying the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/topics.bloomberg.com\/paris-club\/\">Paris Club<\/a>, as it seeks to regain access to international financing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince the default, investors were always more willing to lend to the central bank, but now the market is assigning the Treasury a similar risk,\u201d said Aldo Pignanelli, a former central bank president who now runs research firm Saver in Buenos Aires. \u201cIt\u2019s another step toward normalization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Argentina is still trying to move beyond a record $95 billion default in 2001 that locked it out of credit markets.

The deposit rate was 23.81 percent on June 4, according to the latest data available from the central bank.<\/p>\n<p>The notes being sold today yield less than local bonds due 2016 sold by state-controlled oil producer YPF yesterday, which pay 320 basis points over Badlar.
