Argentina is looking for additional funds to get out of the exchange rate trap, and it is speculated that it is trying to obtain between US$ 10,000 and 15,000 million to be able to navigate the impact of this measure comfortably. The Minister held a half-hour talk with Gita Gospinath, the organization's number two.
"It is premature" to talk about new disbursements, they said. The Fund had already said that it was "premature" to talk about a new program that would contemplate more disbursements. The meeting lasted half an hour in the Fund building in Washington, D.C. The IMF managing director Kristalina Georgieva had said in a press conference that Argentina "is moving very quickly," but no progress was made in that regard at the meeting. "It is part of a talk that was much more constructive than it has always been in the past,' they noted.
