Transcript of a Press Briefing by Caroline Atkinson, Director, External Relations Department
Washington, D.C.
Thursday, February 4, 2010
QUESTION (ONLINE): Update on Argentina -- is there a mission planned? Recently the government has forced the central bank to transfer resources to pay the national debt. Are you concerned about the independence of Argentina's central bank?
MS. ATKINSON: We have no new information. Of course, as you know and as I've said many times, we have a very strong resident representative in Argentina on the ground in touch with the authorities, Gaston Gelos, and that continues to be the case. Of course, we believe that the independence of central banks is very important for monetary policy all over the world.
Vayan pasando pa'l fondo que hay lugar.

En algún diario leí que Cristina Kirchner dijo haber oído una exposición de DSK en la que este decía algo así como que no era conveniente tener excedentes de reservas demasiado grandes; que era mejor valerse de esos fondos para reactivar las economías.
Su imagínación fértil la llevó luego a afirmar que el mismo Director Gerente del FMI le había aconsejado crear el "Fondo del Bicentenario".
