Argentine Economy Minister Luis Caputo, accompanied by Vice Minister José Luis Daza and Central Bank President Santiago Bausili, traveled to Bangkok, Thailand, for the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank.

A primary goal of the mission was to negotiate the third review of Argentina’s economic program to secure a US$900 million disbursement. The delegation sought approval for a pending audit following a technical mission in Buenos Aires, while preparing to address potential discussions regarding fiscal deviations from the first half of the year. To support their position, officials intended to highlight that the Central Bank had accumulated over US$14 billion in foreign exchange purchases.

Caputo’s agenda included bilateral meetings with IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva, World Bank Group President Ajay Banga, and Inter-American Development Bank President Ilan Goldfajn, as well as participation in G20 finance meetings.
