Luis Caputo assured that the International Monetary Fund supported the measures

Economy Minister Luis Caputo denied this Thursday that the new measures related to the use of undeclared funds were imposed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) . According to the official, the organization was informed of the provisions after their announcement and received them positively.

In a press interview, Caputo asserted that there were no demands from the Fund . "There was no request from the IMF. We communicated and informed them of the measures. In fact, yesterday I received a message from a member of the International Monetary Fund. 'The measures are very good,' he told me," the minister said. In this way, he sought to dispel rumors that indicated external pressure in the design of the regulations.

The measures seek to encourage the use of undeclared capital in the formal market. This initiative has generated diverse interpretations in the market and in the political sphere. In this context, Caputo 's statements aim to consolidate the idea of ​​autonomy in the Argentine government 's economic decision-making.

Shortly before the official announcement from Buenos Aires , IMF spokesperson Julie Kozack had anticipated that the new measures would be "evaluated." While she did not directly question the Executive 's proposal, she emphasized the importance of any new measures "being consistent with international commitments." In particular, she stressed that anti-money laundering standards must not be violated.

In this regard, the Ministry of Economy confirmed that anti-money laundering legislation will not be modified. "The current regulations regarding prevention will remain fully in force," official sources maintain. In this way, the Government seeks to provide guarantees to both international organizations and the local financial system.

The support mentioned by Caputo reinforces the idea that the new tools will be compatible with the IMF 's recommendations. It's worth remembering that Argentina maintains a refinancing agreement with the organization, so all relevant fiscal and monetary decisions are under scrutiny.

The announced measures are part of a broader economic stabilization plan. The national government seeks to expand the monetary and fiscal base by formalizing undeclared assets. Under this framework, the inflow of foreign currency and capital is expected to contribute to improving tax revenue and consolidating the Central Bank 's reserves.

According to analysts, the success of these measures will depend on their concrete implementation and the trust they generate among taxpayers. The perception of transparency and legality in the process will also play a key role.

In this way, Caputo 's statements attempt to dispel doubts about the origin of the initiative and ensure that it does not jeopardize the agreements with the IMF . Meanwhile, the international organization is expected to publish its formal assessment of the changes presented by the Argentine government in the coming weeks.
