In early July, I expressed serious doubts that #IMF SBA program in Argentina is going to stay on track for long. The program, I argued, 'assumes that fiscal & monetary tightening will restore investor confidence, but ignores the tightening of global liquidity conditions'.
here we are, six weeks later, and #IMF announces that it will revise the terms of its SBA with Argentina ' In consideration of the more adverse international market conditions, which had not been fully anticipated in the original program' imf.org/en/News/Articl…

3. The new agreement to test limits of socially acceptable✔️
