Argentina's $5 Billion Gold Gambit: Reserves Moved for Potential Collateral

This move could provide the country with much-needed financial flexibility amid low international reserves and economic challenges. The central bank confirmed the transfer but did not disclose specific details, citing confidentiality. This action underscores the ongoing economic difficulties faced by President Javier Milei’s administration, including the struggle to lift currency controls and manage debt obligations.
