Uruguay’s Ministry of Economy and Finance reported that Economy and Finance Minister Gabriel Oddone and his team are conducting a programme of meetings in Washington, DC alongside the International Monetary Fund and World Bank Spring Meetings, engaging US companies, sovereign bond investors, multilateral organisations and US government counterparts. The agenda includes presentations to technology, financial and non-financial firms at events organised by Citi Group and the Atlantic Council, as well as meetings with sovereign bond investment funds coordinated by Balanz, Itaú and One618, where Oddone set out Uruguay’s macroeconomic policy framework, fiscal stance and a pro-growth reform agenda focused on microeconomic measures. The delegation also met the US Department of State, the US Department of the Treasury and the Office of the United States Trade Representative, and held talks with the International Monetary Fund on further technical cooperation on fiscal transparency and tax collection efficiency. Additional meetings include a business presentation organised by Americas Society/Council of the Americas, a meeting with Moody’s, and discussions with the Inter-American Development Bank and the World Bank. The mission is set to conclude on Saturday with a meeting of finance ministers and central bank governors from Latin America, Canada and the United States.
