Argentina made its return to international financial markets Monday, receiving offers from investors for its sovereign bonds in its first debt sale in 15 years, a government source said.
"We have started to receive offers. We will know the total amount" on Tuesday, a source in the finance ministry, who asked not to be named, told AFP.
"We cannot announce anything for the moment. We will make a statement tomorrow at midday."
