Argentina Secures $1 Billion in IMF Disbursement

The lender said progress was mixed but noted fiscal reforms and a primary surplus as Argentina works to rebuild reserves and regain market access.

  • On Thursday, the International Monetary Fund approved a $1 billion disbursement to Argentina after completing a second review of its $20 billion programme, backing the government's reform drive.
  • This four-year deal, the country's 23rd with the Washington-based lender, aims to refinance a failed $44 billion program from 2018 while giving President Javier Milei room to lift capital controls.
  • IMF directors noted "strong progress" in passing fiscal legislation, delivering the first primary fiscal surplus in years, though performance through late 2025 was "mixed" due to delays in rebuilding reserves.
  • Markets remain focused on efforts to rebuild depleted reserves, though the Fund warned that "remaining vulnerabilities" mean Argentina must continue focusing on disinflation and securing international market access.
  • While President Javier Milei initially succeeded in reducing inflation, progress faltered in 2025 amid uncertainty tied to a midterm vote, prompting the Fund to lower reserve accumulation targets last July.
