Fresh funds: in search of a new agreement with the IMF
Javier Milei seeks to close a new agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), a program that the technical teams of the Ministry of Economy have been negotiating for months. This plan would be a continuation of the one signed in 2022 during the administration of Alberto Fernández, which ended last December.
The Argentine president arrives strengthened these negotiations after meeting and even exceeding previously agreed goals, especially in the tax field. Milei hopes that the new agreement includes a disbursement of at least US$11 billion, a figure that it considers key to eliminating the exchange rate. The last review of the year is also expected.
