Econ minister: Argentina not asking IMF for loans

Argentina's economy minister says the nation is not looking for loans from the International Monetary Fund.

Argentina's economy minister says the nation is not looking for loans from the International Monetary Fund.

Amado Boudu, who met this week with the lender's Western Hemisphere director, says their discussions touched on Argentina's relationship to and role in the IMF.

Boudu says "Argentina is in a moment when it doesn't need financing," and the nation "is not asking for anything."

The South American nation has been cut off from private capital markets after a 2001-02 economic meltdown triggered by a record-setting loan default and a steep currency devaluation.

Boudu said Thursday that Argentina intends to make a return to capital markets, but that it will not accept any conditions from the IMF.
