(Reuters) -International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief Kristalina Georgieva said on Monday she had an “excellent” meeting with Argentina’s President Alberto Fernandez in New York.
Georgieva said via Twitter they discussed the importance of a decisive program implementation to fight inflation and to strengthen stability for sustainable and inclusive growth for Argentines.
The meeting comes after the IMF reached a staff-level agreement on Argentina’s $44 billion extended fund facility arrangement, which should unlock nearly $4 billion in funds for the South American nation.
Fernandez is in New York for the United Nations General Assembly.
