IMF Chief Kristalina Georgieva commended Argentina's "impressive economic turnaround" at the G20 finance summit in Asheville, North Carolina. Economy Minister Luis Caputo defended the government's reforms, including a 30% cut in public spending, an eliminated fiscal deficit, tax cuts worth 3 points of GDP, and a deregulation drive.
Georgieva and Caputo exchanged praise on social media following the meeting. Argentina's turnaround was highlighted as a global example of the benefits of macroeconomic stability. The IMF program, which Argentina is halfway through, aims to cover foreign-currency maturities through the end of President Milei's mandate without returning to debt markets.
While the economy has seen a 2% inflation rate and growing reserves, critics argue that the stabilization is incomplete, with issues such as tax collection and rising loan delinquency remaining.
