On Friday he unveiled his latest move to lure foreign dollars as he announced a so-called golden passport program

Stocks rose and bond yields fell sharply Thursday morning after a fresh read on business inflation showed prices were broadly flat in July

As the fund’s largest debtor with about $58 billion in outstanding IMF loans, Argentina faces a key repayment period beginning next year, when Milei is expected to seek reelection

IMF Raises S. Korea Growth Most Among Major Economies on AI Boom

Argentina’s latest credit upgrade is fuelling bets that the country will get another shot at tapping international markets after missing a window in early 2026

The IDB, known locally by its Spanish-language acronym BID — also pledged to accelerate an agreed broader support package totalling some US$7.2 billion to be disbursed in 2026

The loan would be repayable over six years, including a three-year grace period, and would be almost fully backed by two World Bank institutions — the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency, reported Bloomberg on Thursday

That suggests Milei may avoid selling bonds abroad until near the end of his term

Argentina Inflation Picked Up More Than Expected on Energy Shock

The conclusion of Argentina’s staff-level agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) came with a coded message at the 11th hour, reflecting the pressures facing President Javier Mlei’s government — the institution must respond to a global crisis and the outcome of US elections, which could stress-test the financial backing Argentina has received

Most analysts expect the coming month’s inflation data — which is set to be published by the INDEC national statistics bureau on April 14 — to remain above the target set by the Milei administration

Now, momentum has faded, with the rally in the nation’s bonds stalled and the war in Iran all but shuttering the market for high yield debt sales

Milei, 55, took aim in particular at Paolo Rocca, the Italian‑Argentine billionaire head of the multinational industrial conglomerate Techint and Javier Madanes Quintanilla, an Argentine industrialist whose business empire includes the now‑closed tyre maker Fate and stakes in aluminium production

For all the wins — his administration has a hold on inflation, is rebuilding Central Bank reserves and loosening currency controls; it just approved a long-awaited labour reform — Argentina’s bond spreads to benchmark US Treasury yields are still about twice where Milei wants it to be

Insisting that "there is nothing to hide," he also denied any pressures from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to update the mechanisms for measuring inflation

The head of Argentina’s INDEC national statistics bureau, the body responsible for measuring inflation and other key economic data, resigned from his post on Monday after more than six years at the helm

Caputo gave no further details on timing the Ministry is focusing on, or what rates the nation is paying for funding

The highest GDP growth call for this year was 5% and the lowest was 1.6%, reflecting the most optimistic view on President Javier Milei's reform drive and worries about their impact on the real economy, respectively

Prices have now accelerated consistently each month since the 1.5 percent rate recorded in May
