Nicolás Dujovne arrives in Washington to confirm Macri's candidacy and endorse the march of the economic plan

Nicolás Dujovne Wednesday will have a busy schedule of work Washington which includes meetings with the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, Steven Mnuchin, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Christine Lagardeand the head of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), Luis Alberto Moreno.

In turn, the Minister of Finance will speak at the Center for Strategy and International Studies (CSIS) in front of senior officials of the administration of Donald Trump, academics studying Latin America and leaders of companies such as Citi, JPMorgan, Chevron, Exxon Mobile and Bank of America. In any case, Dujovne will receive a direct message from Casa Rosada: Mauricio Macri will be presented for presidential re-election in October and will not take any populist action that will come back to not achieve the goals set with the IMF.

Washington has become the world's most broken capital by opposition leaders, strange lobbyists and political consultants who take photos in front of the Benjamin Franklin memorial, claiming that they are on the sidelines. found near Oval Hall.

With such a pilgrimage to Washington, the feeling that remained in the West Wing of the White House, the Capitol and the think tanks Americans was this Macri resigned from his reelection, executed his plan B with Maria Eugenia Vidal and relaxed the objectives of the economy to face the advance of Roberto Lavagna and Sergio Mbada to Balcarce 50.

The President has excellent relations with the real power of the United States and instructed its Minister of Finance to explain his political and economic roadmap in an election year that will forever mark the Argentine democracy.

It is not usual for a minister from an emerging country to hold meetings – a single day and outside a protocol agenda – with the highest authorities of the Treasury Department, the United States, and the United States. IMF and IDB, as well as finally with David Malpbad, probably the World Bank's (WB) holder, if there is not a geopolitical hecatomb that destroys the institutional logic of multilateral organizations.

Secretary Mnuchin is an essential ally of Argentina. Alongside Malpbad, who prior to being Trump's World Bank candidate was in the Treasury Department, Mnuchin worked at the IMF to speed up his bureaucracy and get the two credits granted in 2018 approved in record time. The Mnuchin-Malpbad tandem complied with Trump's direct orders and the two American hawks had an open phone with Dujovne, who in turn received instructions from Macri and negotiated with Lagarde in real time.

But the Mnoutchine meeting will not only serve to evaluate the situation of the adjustment plan agreed with Lagarde at the request of the United States. Dujovne and the Treasury Secretary will also badyze the current institutional situation in Venezuela and the pressure exerted by the White House and the Lima group to move activists. that Nicolás Maduro has installed in multilateral organizations related to the world economy and finances.

At the head of IDB's Board of Governors, Dujovne pushes for the designation of Ricardo Hausmann, a world-renowned economist Juan Guaidó intends to appoint as Venezuela's internal president. Electronic voting at the IDB has already begun and it is probable that Hausmann succeeds the Venezuelan representative of the populist regime.

When it ends with Mnuchin, the finance minister will visit the IMF headquarters. Dujovne prepares a coffee with Lagarde, who opened his agenda to discuss the results of an economic program that still could not withstand inflation, exchange rate fluctuations and rising zigzag rates d & # 39; interests. The minister will repeat to Lagarde the same thing he would have done in front of Mnuchin: "It is essential that Macri win for Argentina to improve definitely", although the different variants of Peronism guarantee the The economy will grow after the defeat of Cambiemos in the presidential elections.

In addition to Mnuchin and Lagarde, Dujovne plans to offer a conference to senior officials of the Republican administration early Wednesday. think tanks companies and representatives of powerful US companies investing in Argentina. He will also meet IDB President Moreno, and he does not rule out a coffee with Malpbad, who will become president of the World Bank, and who already has his own weight in the White House.

Dujovne arrived in Washington to take care of what Macri has at the international level. US support and arrival at multilateral credit agencies: two benefits that Cristina, Mbada, Lavagna and Tinelli can not show, which were launched to defeat him in the October elections. It remains to be seen whether the minister will be able to convince the world actors who are characterized by their calculated political pragmatism and who watch history take place in their bucolic offices located a few blocks from the White House.
