The Economy Minister Amado Boudou said Argentina is a member of the International Monetary Fund, adding that the government is trying to participate but "giving Argentina's own perspective to decide where the IMF must head to."

After the meeting Boudou held with the IMF envoy Nicolás Eyzaguirre, he said "the Fund has started to review its practices" after the financial crisis and "Argentina seeks to hold the institutional discussion in those terms in a moment the country does not need external financing."
