Luis Caputo attends G20 summit to defend Argentine economic plan
Argentine Economy Minister Luis Caputo is attending the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors summit in Asheville, North Carolina. His primary objective is to defend the economic program of the Javier Milei administration, emphasizing fiscal balance and macroeconomic stability as prerequisites for sustained growth.
Caputo’s agenda includes high-level bilateral meetings, most notably with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva. The discussions aim to secure international support for Argentina’s economic strategy, potentially facilitating the restructuring of $44 billion in debt and bolstering central bank reserves.
Parallel to these diplomatic efforts, Caputo’s personal finances have drawn scrutiny. His 2025 sworn declaration reveals a total wealth of approximately $13.4 million, with roughly 95% of his bank deposits held in foreign accounts, primarily in the United States. This has sparked domestic debate regarding the contrast between his personal financial management and the government’s calls for national economic stability.
