The International Monetary Fund said on Wednesday it will probably lift its censure on Argentina by November after praising the statistics agency for correcting inaccuracies in its economic data.
While highlighting an improvement in accuracy in the country’s new consumer price index and noting that a revised series for gross domestic product meets international standards, the IMF said it will wait for a report scheduled to be submitted Nov. 15 before making a final decision. The document to be reviewed in November will be based on a mission’s Article IV consultation with Argentina in September.
