IMF's Georgieva urges Argentina to stick to its policies to put economy on sound track

WASHINGTON, April 24 (Reuters) - Argentina has demonstrated decisiveness to put its economy on a sound track, tackling double-digit inflation and large deficits, and should stay the course, International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said on Thursday.

Georgieva told reporters that Argentina faced risks from the external global environment, but also needed to maintain its "will for change" when it held domestic elections in the fall.

So far, she said the IMF did not see a risk that Argentina would shift away politically from its reforms.
