Argentina Grants Mendoza Full Royalties from Los Nihuiles Dam; Neighbors to Sue

Argentina's federal government issued a decree granting Mendoza province 100% of royalties from the Los Nihuiles hydroelectric dam, enabling it to claim US$700 million in unpaid funds. Neighboring provinces plan to challenge the decision in court, escalating inter-provincial fiscal disputes. This marks a significant shift in federal-provincial revenue sharing, with potential implications for regional political and economic stability.
