April 26, 2019

The president will receive US lawmakers, while Dujovne will visit Brazil to meet his partner Guedes.

In the middle of the currency crisis, the government will seek to calm the mood of the markets and will launch today an operation in front of the diplomatic world to ratify confidence in Argentina. The goal is to ratify the economic leadership and candidacy for the Macri presidency.

In this context, the president will receive this morning in the fifth of Olivos to a group of American lawmakersat its second meeting of the same week with representatives of the North American Congress.

In addition, the Minister of Finance, Nicolás Dujovne, will visit this afternoon in Rio de Janeiro meet his Brazilian counterpart, Paulo Guedes.

The government has ensured that the priority to contain inflation is the zero deficit

Deputy Finance Minister Miguel Braun and Foreign Minister Jorge Faurie will face a series of "informative talks on the Argentine economy" with foreign ambbadadors.

In any case, the executive seeks to confirm that Macri will continue his candidacy. In addition, they will endorse the economic course and try to attribute to foreign diplomacy the The economic problems shaking Argentina are related to the electoral uncertainty.

In this sense, Macri said yesterday that "markets were doubting" the government's intention "to continue on this path". He added: "Many think that the past was better, but the vast majority of Argentines do not want to go back. This noise was generated by that. "

Marcos Peña admitted that the control of inflation "will take a little more time"

This message is the one that Macri will send today in the early morning to a group of North American legislators from the Agriculture Committee, led by Republican Senator Rick Scott.

Scott will arrive this morning with a group of lawmakers and US Ambbadador Edward Prado for a private audience with Macri scheduled.

This is the same pattern of dialogue as that observed last Monday at Casa Rosada when the President received another group from the United States House of Representatives headed by Republican Collin Peterson at the scientists room.
