The company is set to receive a financing proposal of up to $6 billion from the U.S. Export-Import Bank for the Argentina LNG project, described as potentially the largest infrastructure endeavor in Argentina's history. Separately, YPF raised $1.2 billion in a corporate bond offering, reported as the largest such deal by an Argentine issuer in over a decade, with Cleary Gottlieb advising on the transaction.
