The IMF thus warned the Libertarian administration that it must improve the Argentine Central Bank's (BCRA) reserves by eliminating foreign exchange controls, among other measures. High-quality fiscal measures formed a considerable part of the initial fiscal recovery, which was achieved through deep spending cuts, including public investment and wages, as well as temporary or one-off revenue measures that caused distortions or tax amnesty, the IMF said in a report.

Speaking to Folha newspaper, Silveira said that, in December, the oil company submitted all supplementary information and clarifications requested by the federal environmental agency and that he now expects Ibama President Rodrigo Agostinho to confirm the understanding given to him.
