Argentine President Javier Milei is heading to the U.S. this week for high-level meetings, including a crucial one with IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva on Thursday. The goal? Sealing a new agreement that will shape Argentina’s economic future.

📌 Key Negotiation Points:
✅ Loan Amount & Disbursement Schedule 💵 – The final figure is still under discussion, but it aims to recapitalize the Central Bank without increasing national debt.
✅ Exchange Rate Policy 💱 – A framework has been agreed upon, including crawling peg adjustments and foreign currency access.
✅ Debt Management 📉 – IMF funds may be used to cancel non-transferable bonds held by Argentina’s Central Bank, converting intra-government debt into an IMF liability.

📢 Caputo: “We’re in the Final Stages”
Economy Minister Luis Caputo emphasized that the deal will not require a forced devaluation and is designed to stabilize Argentina’s macroeconomy.

🗣 Milei’s Strategic U.S. Trip:
🔹 Meeting with Elon Musk to discuss investment opportunities 🚀
🔹 Attending a conservative leaders’ summit 🌍
🔹 Finalizing the IMF agreement in Washington 🏛

🚀 What’s Next?
The government expects swift approval and Congress may not need to vote since it’s a creditor shift, not new debt. The IMF acknowledges Argentina’s progress but insists on sustained fiscal and monetary discipline to maintain stability.
