By Jorge Otaola and Walter Bianchi BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) – Argentina’s central bank purchases of foreign currency since libertarian President Javier Milei took office in December are set to top $10 billion on Wednesday, Reuters calculations show, as the government looks to erase a deep net reserves deficit.
