Ahead of a $20 billion IMF agreement, Argentina has announced a significant change in its foreign exchange policy, lifting longstanding currency controls. In place of the previously strictly regulated regime, the central bank will permit the peso to fluctuate within a moving range of 1,000 to 1,400 pesos per dollar. Argentina will also remove the "dollar clamp" and other limitations on access to foreign currencies that have restricted financial transactions. To recapitalise the central bank and stabilise reserves, the IMF accord calls for an initial $12 billion transfer. In contrast to Argentinas prior monetary policies, officials anticipate that these actions will increase investment and economic growth. Read More..
