Argentina had a financial deficit of 251.2 billion pesos ($8.67 billion) in the first half of 2018, or 1.9 percent of gross domestic product, government data showed.
As part of the country’s financing agreement with the International Monetary Fund, Argentina has made a commitment to lower its deficits.
“The fulfillment of these goals is irreversible,” Treasury Minister Nicolas Dujovne said at a conference.
