Argentian and Brazil will meet to discuss a common currency
The concept of a common currency was first mentioned by Lula during the campaign in an article written last year by Fernando Haddad and Gabriel Galipolo, now Brazil’s finance minister and executive secretary, respectively.
Brazil and Argentina want greater economic integration, including the creation of a common currency, according to a joint article written by Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Argentine President Alberto Fernandez.
«We intend to overcome the barriers to our exchanges, simplify and modernize the rules and encourage the use of local currencies,» according to the text on the Argentine website Perfil.
