Argentina is seeking to expedite payments from the IMF as part of a record $50 billion credit line agreed upon in June. The peso has plunged this week due to a crisis of confidence and lack of detail about the government’s plans to tackle the fiscal deficit, analysts say.
Rice said in his statement that Argentina has the IMF’s full support.
