Argentina renegotiates its IMF debt

We look at the history of Argentina's relationship with the International Monetary Fund.

We look at the history of Argentina's relationship with the International Monetary Fund. Around a third of the country's population are struggling to feed their families, and as Argentina tries to renegotiate its debts, Lena Komileva, chief economist at G-Plus Economics explains the relationship between the country and the lender. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Daniel Gallas tells us what's at stake in today's IMF talks. And Dr Juan Grigera of King's College London discusses why Argentina remains the world's leading default machine. Also in the programme, oil giant BP's new chief executive Bernard Looney has outlined plans to cut his firm's carbon emissions to net zero by 2050. We find out more from Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ business editor Simon Jack. Plus we hear why growing numbers of Indian students are choosing to travel to the UK for their studies, and ask whether they're likely to get a return on their investment.
