Definitions for "Canje"
Generally, an exchange of some debt of the government for another type of debt, usually public bonds. There have been a series of Canjes: one in mid-2001, the " Mega-Canje" of various types of public debt for public bonds. A second was the exchange in November 2001 of various types of bonds for government guaranteed loans. More recently, there have been two exchanges of bank deposits frozen by the corralón and corralito for BODENs. The first Canje of this type (" Canje I") was completed in July 2002, in which about 23 percent of eligible account holders took part. The second Canje of this type (" Canje II") ends on October 31, 2002.
