IMF’s Georgieva to visit Argentina in late July
The IMF says the trip will include talks with Javier Milei and Luis Caputo as Argentina faces a 3.5% growth forecast for 2026.
- The International Monetary Fund maintained its forecast for Argentina's economy to grow by 3.5 percent in 2026 and around 4 percent in 2027, as the Fund recently published its latest economic analysis.
- International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva will visit Argentina at the end of July, IMF spokesman Pierre Mejlak said on Wednesday, signifying the Fund's close relationship with the country.
- On Thursday, IMF spokeswoman Julie Kozack welcomed the Argentine government's proposed Central Bank reform, noting the institution supports efforts to "strengthen the central bank's institutional safeguards that protect the independence of its policymaking."
- Argentine Economy Minister Luis Caputo stated on Monday that the government expects to meet debt payments through 2027 via multilateral loans and bond issuance, as Argentina faces over $23 billion in foreign-currency principal payments due that year.
- Argentina remains the IMF's largest debtor following the 2018 loan under former president Mauricio Macri, though the country signed a four-year Extended Fund Facility agreement in 2025 that officials say provides sufficient funds for 2026 repayments.
