International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva arrived in Montevideo for talks on Thursday with President Yamandú Orsi and the country's senior economic officials, on a visit made at the invitation of the Uruguayan government.

After landing, Georgieva wrote on the social network X that she was pleased to be in Uruguay and keen to learn more about a country that has built a solid record of macroeconomic stability and resilient institutions. She added that she looked forward to discussing with officials and key stakeholders how to sustain progress for all Uruguayans.

The Uruguayan stop closes a regional tour that began in Argentina, where Georgieva met on Monday with President Javier Milei and Economy Minister Luis Caputo. Argentina is the fund's largest borrower.
