Argentina govt defends gold strategy, slams AGN report as politicized

Argentina's presidential spokesperson rebuts an AGN (national audit office) report alleging US$1,023 million in losses from 2025 gold hedging operations, arguing the hedging aimed to stabilize the asset and that gold generated profits. The dispute highlights political tension over economic management, with the government framing the audit as politicized. The actual financial impact and hedging effectiveness remain contested.
