The real worry for the IMF is not so much the poverty rate, but the damaging effects of the economic situation on most of the population -- including the upper middle class -- and its consequences on the October presidential election.

The real powers in Argentina are worried that Macri is rapidly exhausting whatever political capital he may still have, and that his chances of getting re-elected president in October are getting scarcer by the day.
