IMF Says Further Discussions Needed On Argentina Program

ARGENTINA
  • IMF Releases Statement After Meetings With Argentine Officials
  • “…there were general understandings on the need to gradually and sustainably improve public finances, while allowing for much-needed infrastructure, technology, and targeted social spending. Tackling persistent high inflation requires a multipronged approach involving a reduction of monetary financing of the fiscal deficit, appropriate monetary policy with positive real interest rates, and wage-price coordination.”
  • “While further discussions are needed, the IMF team and the Argentine authorities remain fully committed to their collective work on a framework and policies for an IMF-supported program.”
