A U.S. appeals court paused efforts to seize Argentine assets to pay a $16 billion judgment over YPF’s 2012 nationalization.
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.
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.
The case, now exceeding $18 billion with interest, has strained Argentina’s economy and reputation for over a decade.
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.
Oral arguments were held in October, and a ruling is pending.
Un tribunal de apelaciones de los Estados Unidos suspendió los esfuerzos para confiscar activos argentinos para pagar una sentencia de $ 16 mil millones sobre la nacionalización de YPF en 2012.
