Argentina’s right-wing populist presidential candidate Javier Milei has met with International Monetary Fund officials to explain his economic proposals for the country, days after he became the surprise front-runner for the October election.
“We are not going to default on either the IMF nor sovereign debt,” Milei told the IMF officials, according to a message posted on social media by Darío Epstein, one of the candidate’s key economic advisers.
Milei and his team also mentioned their goals to open the economy, modernize labor laws, slash spending through deep reforms of the state and a “monetary reform that ends the Central Bank,” among others. The results of the primary are seen as an indication of how citizens are likely to vote when they go to the polls in October.
The discussions were part of “routine engagements with a broad spectrum of political and economic stakeholders,” the official added.
