Urgent meeting at the IMF to analyze the situation in Argentina

The dome of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) meets Friday to badyze the new events in Argentina after the decision of the government of Mauricio Macri to "redefine" the maturity of debt in the short and medium term.

"The Board of Directors of the International Monetary Fund will meet this afternoon for an informal briefing on recent events in Argentina," confirmed agency spokespersons for this media .

The meeting was urgently resolved in the face of the new collapse of the financial system that is hitting all the positions of the Argentine debt hard.

This will be their first meeting in the dome of the multilateral credit agency after the recent mission they conducted in the country to take note of the new political and economic climate that was put in place after the primary elections .

In this new context, the IMF must also solve its problems if it releases the next disbursement of $ 5,400 million.

The financial situation in Argentina deteriorated so that the rating agency Standard & Poor's lowered the rating to the country last night and placed it in the category of "selective defaults".
