This Tuesday, the National Government made the payment to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) of the maturities scheduled for October, for about 1,975 million in Special Drawing Rights (SDR, the currency used by the organization) and which are equivalent to about US$ 2,600. million, according to official sources. In this way, the International Reserves position that had closed on Monday at US$24,612 million, remained at US$21,861 million, according to preliminary data reported on that date by the Central Bank. Next Monday there will be another disbursement to cancel debt with that organization for about 630 million SDR, equivalent to about US$800 million. The Minister of Economy and presidential candidate for Unión por la Patria (UxP), Sergio Massa, had announced two weeks ago that "next week" the country will proceed to "pre-cancel IMF maturities so that there is no uncertainty around that topic". The IMF calendar provided for three maturities with the country for this month: October 6 for US$1,280 million, October 12 for another US$640 million and a third for US$673 million on the last business day of October, although they can be settled all together at the end of the month, without questioning by the organization, which has already endorsed this practice in the past. From the economic portfolio they estimate that approximately 1.9 billion SDR remain from the last IMF disbursement. The next review with the IMF to unlock more resources will be in November, and everything indicates that it will formally begin once the general elections on November 19 are over. Whether Argentina obtains other resources for US$3.4 billion will depend on the result of this audit.
