“It will be very good for Argentina and for the world community” if Argentina were to resume its annual economic consultations with the IMF, which the second-largest South American nation abandoned several years ago. Eyzaguirre said that the recent global crisis showed how interdependent the world has become and how essential it is that a country knows what is going on in other countries when it develops its own policies, and that other countries know its policies. The IMF consultations, which it has annually with nearly all its 186 member countries, are at the core of the economic policy dialog among nations that the Group of 20 advanced and emerging systemic economies has called for. Eyzaguirre said it is especially important that Argentina hold such consultations because it is a G-20 member.
