Argentina's Ministry of Finance published remarks by Economy Minister Luis Caputo from the Summit 2026 Opening Ourselves to the World, in which he reiterated the government's macroeconomic policy stance and said Argentina had met its reserve accumulation target seven months ahead of schedule. He linked the result to fiscal adjustment, trade opening and deregulation, and said investment in energy and mining under RIGI was helping support the broader economy. Caputo said reserve accumulation had reached USD 8 billion, which he described as equivalent to USD 10 billion of purchases under the financial programme presented to the International Monetary Fund. He also argued that the policy shift had helped the economy recover, pushed exports to record levels, and reduced inflation and poverty, while RIGI-related investment was cushioning the economy and industry during an external shock.
