In recent weeks, Guzman has called for support from G20 countries for considering it necessary to reach an agreement with the G20 country to “resolve” the “macro and debt crisis.” It should be drawn up by us, from collective action and understanding of what we need,” the head of the Palace of Finance said on his Twitter account.
The mission to obtain information on the progress of the economy ended on Friday and it is estimated that the new agreement will be signed only in 2021, to reschedule loan payments of $44 billion. Following the end of the visit, the IMF assured that there is “progress” in Argentina’s intention to request a new support program, but warned that “a carefully calibrated set of policies will be required to promote stability.”
