Argentina Settles 15-Year Debt Battle

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Argentina has signed an agreement with US hedge funds to settle a protracted dispute over its failure to repay billions of dollars worth of bonds. The previous government of President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, refused to negotiate with the hedge funds, labeling them "vultures" and 'financial terrorists'. But her successor , Mauricio Macri , made resolving the issue a priority following his election last December. The Indian budget delivered on Monday is aimed squarely at India's farmers - we get the detail. And we look ahead to Super Tuesday and find out what Mexican immigrants to the US make of Donald Trump. Business Matters guests today include Alison van Diggelen, host of the 'Fresh Dialogues' interview series and in Beijing David Moser from the Beijing Capital Normal University and the BBC's Phil Mercer in Sydney, Australia.
