The IMF is waiting for the details of the new Argentine government’s economic plans to review its $56 billion credit line, its chief spokesman said.

“I don’t have anything on dates or planned meetings,” with Argentine officials over the $56 billion loan, the International Monetary Fund’s Gerry Rice told reporters in Washington on Thursday. Economy Minister Martin Guzman had told the press Wednesday night that he had held a preliminary meeting with IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva before taking office.
