Discuss the global financial architecture
At G20 summit, Fernandez will stick to his proposal Discuss the global financial architecture, The White House recently reported that President Biden himself will advocate reforming the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (WB) during the New Delhi summit to better help developing countries.
In a recent interview with Télam, Foreign Minister Santiago Cafiro said that the G20 is the place to discuss the global financial architecture and welcomed the fact that Biden wants to discuss it, which is in line with Alberto Fernandez’s proposal because ” It reinforces that Argentina will present proposals at a forum “next week”.
“The president has singled out the need to discuss a new global financial architecture on several occasions, noting that the International Monetary Fund was created to act as a lender in times of tension caused by countries’ balance-of-payments crises,” Cafiero commented: “We are here to maintain this situation. Today, its purpose is totally undermined. “
Next week, Argentina will “claim again” in the Indian capital, as it did in Italy in 2021 and Indonesia in 2022, the foreign minister explained.this is a new order in terms of the global financing agenda, climate change financing and fundamentally what the global financial architecture is.”
“Today, the IMF is no longer an institution that makes loans to save a situation, but ends up being a trap for the development of countries,” he warned.
In March last year, the president held a bilateral meeting with Biden, at which he explicitly suggested that international credit organizations “should formulate specific policies for middle-income countries,” which are countries that bear 60% of poverty.
For his part, the US president has pledged to support these requests from Argentina.
