The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is set to visit Argentina in September on a consultation mission for the first time in 10 years in order to evaluate the country’s economic policies and investigate the country’s economic outlook. IMF representatives will arrive in the country on September 19th and will stay for 13 days. Once they leave the country, the reports will go directly to the head of the IMF, Christine Lagarde, and its contents could be assessed in November. Back in January, Macri and Finance Minister Alfonso Prat-Gay said they would be opening Argentina’s doors to IMF audits once again. The IMF already sent a Technical Mission to Argentina in June this year to evaluate the quality of the official Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data.
