IMF upbeat on Latin America, Argentina

The International Monetary Fund's top Western Hemisphere official said on Saturday that Latin American economies were "bottoming out" from last year's declines and he was optimistic on Argentina's chances for a new aid package.

"We have seen more evidence that the economic declines are bottoming out," said Anoop Singh at a press conference. "Our overall sense is one of cautious optimism."

In an unusual sign that an IMF agreement with Argentina is closer than previously thought, Singh said: "Argentina's situation is now starting to improve, and we are hopeful that the next stage of developing a sustainable medium-term program is close at hand".
