IMF, Buenos Aires Reach Progress in Talks on Providing Aid to Argentina
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and Argentina reached a progress in the talks on the fund's financial aid to the Latin American state, IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde said in a statement after the talks with Argentine Economy Minister Nicolas Dujovne and Central Bank Deputy Governor Gustavo Canonero.
“Minister Dujovne, Deputy Governor Canonero, and I met today to initiate discussions about how the Fund can best support Argentina in the face of renewed financial volatility and a challenging economic environment. We made progress in our meeting and we will be working together to further strengthen the Argentine authorities’ IMF-backed program. Our discussions will now continue at a technical level and, as stated before, our common objective is to reach a rapid conclusion to present a proposal to the IMF Executive Board,” Lagarde said.
