Argentine Government Notifies IMF of Request for New Fund Arrangement August 26, 2020 Washington, DC: Ms. Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), spoke with Argentina President Alberto Fernández today. The Managing Director made the following statement at the conclusion of the meeting: “I had a very constructive and positive conversation with President Fernández today. We discussed the important challenges faced by Argentina, including in the context of the global pandemic, and the Argentine government’s priorities in the period ahead, in particular the need to reinvigorate the economy, while continuing to protect the most vulnerable. In this context, President Fernández notified me of the request by his government to start discussions on a new IMF-supported program. “We look forward to deepening our dialogue on how we can best support the government’s efforts to manage the impact of the pandemic, jumpstart growth and job creation, and reduce poverty and unemployment while strengthening macroeconomic stability for the benefit of all Argentines. As I have said before, we stand ready to play our role, working with Minister Guzmán, BCRA Governor Pesce and their teams to support Argentina in these challenging times.” IMF Communications Department MEDIA RELATIONS PRESS OFFICER: Raphael Anspach Phone: +1 202 623-7100Email: MEDIA@IMF.org https://www.imf.org/en/News/Article...ent-notifies-imf-request-new-fund-arrangement
Argentina... as big a joke as Turkey! Argentina has defaulted so many times, you'd have to be an idiot to lend them one thin dime.
its really sad whats going on... I feel really bad for the people who keep getting caught in this bs with their lifes savings and lifes work getting destroyed & becoming almost worthless. I find it really interesting tho, for example, Ive spoken to Argentine medical students. they've all brought to my attention the low salary for physicians there,... yet they also say "after" graduation they will leave to a "better" country. so these "brilliant" or at least highly capable minds, seem to have no issue with using the system to get a free medical education but dont want to spend even one ****ing day paying back into this system??
