Argentina on Friday (April 11) finalised a loan agreement of around $20 billion with the International Monetary Fund as the country’s central bank partially liberalised its exchange controls.

In a report, the IMF’s executive board said it had approved a 48-month extended fund facility arrangement totalling $20 billion. The institution said it would immediately disburse $12 billion, and that another $2 billion would be made available in June pending a first review of the arrangement.
