Argentina : Economic Developments; February 27, 2014

This document on economic developments and policies was prepared in the context of an informal Executive Board briefing on Argentina under the procedures for members with excessive delays in Article IV consultations. Under these procedures, IMF staff prepares an assessment of the member's economy and policies based on information that is publicly available and without consultation with the member. The document, which constitutes the views of IMF staff, is aimed at keeping the Board informed about developments in the country. Given the absence of a more complete set of information, and a more thorough policy dialogue with authorities, this document should not be characterized as an IMF Article IV staff report nor should it be portrayed as representing the views of the Executive Board. Similarly, the associated informal Executive Board briefing does not constitute an Article IV consultation with the member. This document is based on the information available at the time it was completed on February 27, 2014.
