QUESTIONER: I thought I'd stay in Latin American then. If you can just give us an update on Argentina? I asked two weeks ago if there was any new development.
MR. RICE: Let me take Argentina. You did ask about it two weeks ago, and I think I’m able to update you a little bit today on that.
Stepping back for those who've not been watching it so closely. December 2013 our Executive Board adopted a decision calling on Argentina to implement an initial set of specified actions including public release of a new national inflation consumer price index data set and revised GDP estimates by end of March 2014.
Then the Board also said further action to be implemented by end of September 2014, and then by end February 2015. So it was kind of a set of steps that the Board decided on.
So the first of these reports was submitted to the Board last week. So that's in line with the calendar that I just mentioned. I can tell you that the Board meeting on that report is now scheduled for June 6th to discuss the matter. Other meetings would then follow in line with the calendar that I outlined.
Just in case you have a follow-up, I, obviously, wouldn't be able to comment on the Board's decision, but we will communicate that in the usual way after the meeting. Okay on Argentina?
