Argentina Reserves Up $5.6 Billion




Argentina’s Central Bank has added $5.7 billion of reserves since January, when the government repaid its entire $9.8 billion debt to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Reserves rose from $18.58 billion, as at January 3, to $24.26 billion as at June 3. The Central Bank claims its policy of accumulating reserves serves to protect the economy against external shocks and aims to reduce exchange rate volatility.
