flag A U.S. appeals court paused efforts to seize Argentine assets to pay a $16 billion judgment over YPF’s 2012 nationalization.

flag A U.S. appeals court has temporarily paused efforts by foreign investors to trace Argentine assets in the U.S. to satisfy a $16 billion judgment over Argentina’s 2012 nationalization of YPF, halting discovery proceedings including searches for assets like central bank gold reserves. flag The delay comes as the court reviews Argentina’s appeal, following a lower court’s order to transfer Argentina’s 51% stake in YPF, which was stayed in August. flag The case, now exceeding $18 billion with interest, has strained Argentina’s economy and reputation for over a decade. flag Despite the legal challenges, YPF has expanded shale production in the Vaca Muerta field, reaching nearly 600,000 barrels per day in January 2026 and reporting its first $5 million profit in a decade in 2025. flag Oral arguments were held in October, and a ruling is pending.
