Argentina said on Tuesday it had stripped Bank of New York Mellon’s authorization to operate in the South American country, its latest move against the financial institution which blocked an Argentine government debt payment on the orders of a U.S. court. BNY Mellon, a financial intermediary between the Argentine government and its bondholders, has been caught up in a bitter legal battle between U.S. investment funds and the South American country, which in July defaulted for the second time in 12 years. Argentina’s Congress is due on Wednesday to discuss a law that would replace BNY Mellon as intermediary for payments on foreign law bonds with state-controlled bank Banco Nacion, as part of a new debt restructuring plan.
