Argentina’s new government wants to continue making debt payments while it renegotiates with creditors in the coming months, central bank chief Miguel Pesce said Wednesday.

“What the government has already said is that it doesn’t want during this negotiation period for some maturity to end up provoking an unwanted default,” Pesce said at the American Club in Buenos Aires, one of his first public speaking events since assuming office Dec. 10.
