Argentina clinches US$45b debt deal with IMF
12:00am, Friday, 04'th Mar 2022 The Sun Daily
BUENOS AIRES/WASHINGTON : Argentina has sealed a US$45 billion (RM188.4 billion) debt deal with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the country''s government and the IMF said yesterday, after talks ironed out final wrinkles of an initial agreement reached in January. “After intense negotiations, the national government managed to seal an agreement with the IMF,” the Economy Ministry said in a statement, adding the deal would be sent to Argentina’s Congress yesterday and would look to refinance some US$45 billion. The IMF said the two sides had reached a staff-level agreement on a 30-month extended fund facility, including a programme to tame high inflation, reduce money printing to finance the fiscal deficit, and deliver positive real interest rates. The deal, which will roll over a failed US$57 billion credit facility from 2018, is key to the grains-producing country stabilising its crisis-hit economy amid rampant inflation and dwindling foreign currency reserves. In 2018, under the government of conservative president Mauricio Macri, the IMF granted its biggest-ever loan of US$57 billion to Argentina.

This Is Economic War - Central Banks Are The West''s Paladins

This Is Economic War - Central Banks Are The West''s Paladins Authored by Bill Blain via MorningPorridge.com, “Alas, that these evil days should be mine.. . ” Trying to strip out noise from facts has never been so complex! It’s time to resort to the rarest of all commodities; Common Sense – to work out how this will likely play out. There will be clear winners – and one massive loser – and significant economic pain before we get there. At times like this its worth recalling two of my most overused market mantras: The market has but one objective – to inflict the maximum amount of pain on the maximum number of participants , and Things are never as bad as you fear – but never as good as you hope. After that quick reminder of short, sharp and contradictory market common sense… what are markets telling us this morning? My opening bid for Chelski is £1 and give it to the fans… even if Chelsea supporters are definitionally delusional jibbering idiots (in my humble opinion). (Seriously… I wonder which Middle East prince will pick it up…) There is so much noise, froth, sturm und drang as the news for Ukraine whips up all kinds of confusing signals threatening to undermine the markets.

OSLO: Norway''s sovereign wealth fund, the world''s largest, on Thursday estimated that its Russian assets had been reduced to a tenth of their value, over the war in Ukraine and sanctions imposed on Russia. At the end of 2021, the fund held some 27.4 billion Norwegian kroner ($3.1 billion, 2.8 billion euros) in Russian equities, or 0.2 percent of the total portfolio, it said in an annual report published on Thursday. Their value is now estimated at about 2.5 billion kroner, a figure described as "very, very uncertain", fund officials said. "It might be that they are essentially worthless," Trond Grande, the fund''s deputy head, told a press conference. Russian central bank, sovereign fund may hold $140bn in Chinese bonds In response to Russia''s invasion of Ukraine, the Norwegian government announced on Sunday that the sovereign wealth fund, which is now worth over 11 trillion kroner, would initially freeze its investments in Russia before divesting them -- a process that is likely to take time.
