Loser: "IMF could delay disbursement" …

Claudio Loser, economist and former director of the IMF for the Western Hemisphere, said that "it is possible that the Fund is delaying the disbursement" of $ 5400 million that he foresaw. activate in September. "Until the end of last week, the fund would still have made the disbursement, but after what happened, it is possible that he said that there is too much of uncertainty, it is better to wait a bit. " Although not to generate so much despair, he added that even without the expenses, "the ship did not sink".

The loser has described as "incendiary" some forecasts that Argentina would face immediate complications from not having this resource from the new credit tranche in the coming weeks. He was referring specifically to Carlos Melconian's comments in this regard. S addressing FM Sky, the economist said that the delay "of course, it is and it will be a problem, everyone will scream, there will be problems, but this n & # 39; Is not so horrible. "

The audit mission that goes to the country these days, with Roberto Cardarelli and Alejandro Werener at the helm (the latter occupies the position of Loser occupied in 2001), had talks with the team economic but also with references from the opposition. He has avoided advancing the criteria of his work, even though it is presumed that it will not be the visit that will define the fate of disbursement. For the worse, during his stay, there was a strong race against the peso and Argentine bonds that took the risk of the country, this morning, above 2100 points. The possibility of disbursement being postponed to October was not ruled out by the negotiators.
