The Buenos Aires governor criticized the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank (WB) whom he accused of “trying to make politics with predictions” according to the sign of the governments and demanded that “the IMF issue not divert” what he defined as “a clear policy of economic recovery.”
Kicillof spoke of an “optimism and pessimism of multilateral organizations” such as the IMF and the World Bank, which he defined as “systematic”: “It seems that the numbers rather mark the sympathies that certain economists have with governments”.
The Buenos Aires governor said that when he was Minister of Economy and had to go to the IMF “to have conversations” he carried “a little chart that showed how they always screwed up the forecasts.”
Kicillof said that “when the government was not of the political sign that he liked (the IMF) underestimated, and when it was the other way around, they overestimated” economic forecasts, in statements to Radio 10.
