Héctor Torres, former IMF, requested the unification of the exchange rate

“A decision like this would have to be discussed with the IMF, which is not in favor of multiple exchange rates but could admit them in a circumstantial situation, as long as there is a progressive roadmap that leads to a unification of the exchange rate“, emphasized Torres, in statements to the program “This morning” on radio Rivadavia.

He also considered it necessary to “restore confidence” in the economy and, as one of the necessary steps to achieve it, said that appointing a “senior” macroeconomist as Sergio Massa’s deputy minister: “It would be an important step, which I hope will be given these days.”

Regarding the head of the Palacio de Hacienda, he stressed that he has “good intentions, the orientation is correct, but those intentions need to be integrated with slightly clearer measures and, above all, with a comprehensive plan, which is something that is still being developed. “.

“The measures cannot be evaluated in a chemically pure way, but rather in the context in which they are taken. For this reason, the recent debt swap in pesos was good”Torres concluded.
