The US Treasury has finalized a $20 billion currency swap agreement with Argentina, aimed at directly purchasing Argentine pesos to enhance the nation"s economic stability. This agreement marks a significant step in the financial relationship between the two countries.

The decision comes amid ongoing economic challenges in Argentina, where the government has been seeking international support to stabilize its currency and economy. The currency swap is expected to provide Argentina with much-needed liquidity and bolster confidence in its financial system.

This development follows recent reports on political and economic issues in the region, including the third presidential vacancy motion against Dina Boluarte, which was admitted with 113 votes. Such political dynamics may influence economic conditions in Argentina and the broader region.

The US Treasury"s agreement reflects ongoing efforts to strengthen economic ties and support stability in Latin America.
