The IMF boss was visiting top debtor Argentina to meet with Milei, for whom the Washington-based institution has repeatedly voiced support since he took office.

"What we have today, by all indicators, is a much sounder picture" since 2023, Georgieva told a joint press conference with Argentine Economy Minister Luis Caputo.

Milei campaigned on a pledge to revive the economy by slashing public spending and reining in inflation.
