BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) – Argentina’s new central bank president Santiago Bausili has invited bank representatives in the country for a meeting at 9 a.m. (1200 GMT) on Wednesday, four sources told Reuters, as the new government looks to lay out major planned economic reforms.
The invitation sent to banks didn’t disclose the reason for the meeting, although it is common practice for an incoming central bank president to meet local and international bank representatives when there is a change in leaders.
Argentina’s President Javier Milei took office on Sunday, and Bausili was named head of the central bank until September 2028, according to a decree published on Monday in the official gazette.
Milei is pledging major economic reforms, including cutting state spending and weakening the peso currency.
