Despite the measures

an increase in public debt. On January 28, 2022, the Argentine government and the IMF reached a consensus on key policies as part of their ongoing discussions under an IMF-supported financing program. On
March 17, 2022, the Argentine government approved an agreement with the IMF for a 30-month period (the “ ”) to refinance US$44.0
