<p>华盛顿，2 月 5 日（路透社）——美国参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦，参议院银行委员会的主要民主党人，已要求财政部长斯科特·贝森终止与阿根廷的 200 亿美元货币互换协议，该协议是财政部去年提供的，以稳定该国经济。</p>
<p>沃伦在周三的一封信中提醒贝森，财政部曾向国会保证，货币互换协议是为了 “急需的、短期的和紧急的” 需求，作为帮助阿根廷总统哈维尔·米莱渡过关键的十月选举并继续其经济改革的桥梁。</p>
<p>沃伦在信中写道：“尽管财政部声称其使用（外汇稳定基金）是出于 ‘急需的、短期的和紧急的’ 目的，但通过维持（外汇稳定安排），似乎留下了在 2025 年 10 月选举后继续在阿根廷使用 ESF 的可能性。”</p>
<p>财政部在关键的中期选举前不久与阿根廷签署了协议，因担心阿根廷经济疲软。该互换协议为阿根廷中央银行提供了资金，以帮助支撑比索的价值，并防止在投票前贬值。</p>
<p>这些资金在十月用于偿还国际货币基金组织的债务，并归还在选举前几天用于支持汇率的外币。</p>
<p>米莱是美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的密切盟友，成功扩大了他在该国立法机构的影响力。</p>
<p>沃伦表示，贝森上个月告诉委员会，阿根廷已迅速且完全偿还了其对互换设施的有限提款，且外汇稳定基金没有持有任何比索，但没有确认该设施现在是否已关闭。她要求贝森在 2 月 12 日前提供书面确认。</p>
<p>贝森定于周四在参议院银行委员会作证。</p>

</div><p>“Despite Treasury’s assertion that its use of the (Exchange Stabilization Fund) was for an ‘acute, short-term and urgent’ purpose, it appears - by leaving the (exchange stabilization arrangement) in place - to have left open the possibility of continued use of the ESF in Argentina well after the October 2025 elections,” Warren wrote in the letter.</p>

</div><p>Treasury signed the agreement with Argentina shortly before a critical midterm election amid concerns about Argentina’s struggling economy. The swap line provided Argentina’s central bank with funds that it could use to help prop up the value of the peso and prevent a devaluation ahead of the vote.</p>

</div><p>Warren said Bessent last month told the committee that Argentina had quickly and fully repaid its limited draw on the swap facility, and the Exchange Stabilization Fund did not hold any pesos, but there was no confirmation that it was now closed. She asked Bessent to provide written confirmation of that fact by February 12.</p>
