Fernandez, who met with Georgieva in Rome, is wrapping up a European tour during which he has been seeking support for his country in talks over a crucial new IMF deal and to delay debt repayments with the Paris Club group of lenders.
“The aim is to find an agreement as quickly as possible, but we cannot think of an agreement that requires greater efforts from the Argentine people,” Fernández said after the meeting.
