Cosentino heads Argentine envoy at IMF, World Bank assembly

Finance secretary Adrián Cosentino will head the Argentine envoy that will participate at the IMF and World Bank annual assembly to be held at Japan.

Economy Minister Hernán Lorenzino was expected to travel to Tokyo, but he will stay at the country.

Argentina will arrive in the assembly in the midst of the tension between the Government House and the International Monetary Fund, the organization that questions the statistics released by the Indec national statistics bureau.

Argentina will be going into the assembly at the same level as neighbouring Brazil, due to the fact that both countries have taken measures to protect local industry, as a way to face the world crisis.
