The fiscal path agreed by Argentina and the International Monetary Fund calls for reducing the country's primary budget deficit to zero by 2025, IMF First Deputy Managing Director Gita Gopinath said on Friday.

Gopinath, the Fund's No. 2 official, said on Twitter that the IMF-Argentina policy understanding announced earlier on Friday includes "a fiscal path to gradually and sustainably improve public finances, reduce monetary financing & reduce primary deficit to 0 by 2025."
