The presidential candidate for Freedom Advances, Javier Miley, held a meeting with the authorities of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) this Friday morning.
as far as he could tell AmbitThe director of the Western Hemisphere, Rodrigo Valdés, and “other members” of his team participated on behalf of the IMF. Meanwhile, on behalf of La Libertad Avanza, Carlos Rodríguez, Darío Epstein and Roque Fernández, Milei’s economic advisers, were present.
The meeting, which took place virtually, was “an opportunity to exchange views on Argentina’s current economic prospects and understand its economic policy priorities,” sources from the agency told this medium.
The organism that drives Kristalina Georgieva further noted that the meeting was framed as part of “regular and routine contacts of the Fund with a wide range of political and economic referents, which also include countries with IMF programs, to understand their points of view and opinions on the general objectives and the key policies of Fund-supported programs”.
During the meeting, Javier Milei’s economic team informed the organization of the “set of reforms that will be made in the event of accessing the presidency”, namely:
- “An important fiscal adjustment, more important than the one demanded by the Fund itself.”
- “Unification of exchange rates”
- “Closing the financial deficit, via spending reduction”
- “Open the economy”
- “An adjustment that will not be paid for by society or production, but by politics through a profound reform of the State.”
- “Promoting modernization of labor laws”
- “Promotion of a monetary reform that ends with the Central Bank”
What will Milei do with the dollar and withholdings?
Dollarization, adjustment and reduction of spending. Milei came first with his main proposals after the PASO that made him the most voted candidate and, in repeated radio and television statements, confirmed his part of his economic plan in case he became president.
Once again, the presidential candidate reinforced his position and said that by raising the dollarization is “saying that this debt” with the IMF he will pay it
For mileyhe IMF “It should not have problems” with its economic program because it proposes “a much deeper fiscal adjustment” than the Government.
As for the field retentions, the position of the libertarian candidate is already known and there is nothing new about it. Rather, he emphasized his point and assured without hesitation: “I said that I was going to eliminate the retentions in the field and I will do that,” he said.
