The IMF Executive Board approves the second review of Argentina’s 48-month Extended Fund Facility, triggering a $1 billion disbursement. Multiple reports say the approval comes on Thursday and the payment is released immediately to Argentina’s central bank. The disbursement follows the board’s decision tied to the conditions of the Extended Fund Facility that Argentina signed in 2025.
The outlets also note that this installment is part of a broader financing package with a higher agreed ceiling. Under the program, total disbursements reach $15.8 billion out of a $20 billion ceiling agreed earlier, according to the Rio Times. The Buenos Aires Herald similarly reports that the $1 billion is released after the board approves the second review.
Taken together, the coverage is consistent on the size of the payment ($1 billion), the timing (after the second review approval), the program context (a 48-month Extended Fund Facility signed in 2025), and the destination (Argentina’s Banco Central).
