-->NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--U.S. Treasury Undersecretary John Taylor said it was important that Argentina stay actively engaged with the International Monetary Fund even as the country's third review with the Washington-based lender is delayed.
His remarks come as IMF chief Rodrigo Rato prepares to visit Buenos Aires ahead of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation meetings slated for early September. Argentina requested that the IMF effectively suspend its accord with the government until the turn of the year, so that the it can complete a $100 billion debt restructuring without IMF interference.
"While formal negotiations on the third review will be postponed until later this year, a continued engagement is important," Taylor said Thursday in remarks published on the State Department's web site. He also said it was important that Argentina get the restructuring process out of the way as it will promote sustained growth.
"I'm very pleased that Argentina is making progress on the macroeconomic side, the monetary policy on the fiscal side," Taylor said."But as they have taken this opportunity to move to the third review of the IMF into the future, I'd very much hope it gives them the opportunity to negotiate with their creditors and come to a good solution."
Argentina defaulted on most of its public-sector debt in December 2001 amid political upheaval and a financial meltdown.
