President Javier Milei signed an emergency executive decree to mandate a new deal between Argentina and the International Monetary Fund. Under Argentine law, Congress has to approve of any new IMF programme. But rather than send lawmakers a bill for their approval, as his predecessor did, Milei issued an executive order that will go into effect unless it is overturned by both chambers of Congress. Approval in a single chamber will also cement it into law.
