Greece plans to announce tax reductions and specific financial measures on a weekly basis, according to government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis. This strategy aims to provide regular positive news to citizens, addressing the impact of recent price inflation. The focus will be on gradual tax reductions based on fiscal realities.
Argentine President Javier Milei and Minister Luis Caputo are traveling to the United States amid negotiations with the IMF. While the primary reason for the trip is an award ceremony, efforts are underway to potentially arrange a meeting with Donald Trump in April to discuss a possible trade agreement. Foreign Minister Gerardo Werthein has been in Washington to advance these discussions.
U.S. Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar has urged the U.S. Treasury to approve an initial disbursement of 75% of Argentina's total agreement with the IMF. Salazar argues that this amount, approximately $15 billion based on a $20 billion agreement, would help stabilize the economy. She emphasized Argentina's importance as an ally and praised President Milei's efforts to combat inflation and economic challenges.
