The informal market is going through days of great uncertainty, amid tension between the national government and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to reach a new deal for foreign debt. Negotiations with the IMF came to a standstill again and the sending of the mission to Washington was delayed. The point that binds the agreement is the magnitude of the fiscal adjustment that the multilateral organism demands.
The Fund demands that the fiscal deficit be reduced by up to 1.9%, while the Government wants to do the same, but at 1.5%.
