- Meanwhile, President Milei remains at the World Economic Forum in Davos today, where he has delivered a speech. In an interview there yesterday, he said that Argentina’s capital controls could be lifted more quickly, if the government secures new funding amid ongoing talks with IMF staff this week on a new loan programme.
