The International Monetary Fund’s executive board is set to review Argentina’s current $44 billion aid program next month, according to people familiar with the matter, a crucial step as President Javier Milei negotiates for a new loan.

The board is tentatively set to meet in early January to evaluate a staff report on the agreement Argentina struck with the IMF in 2022, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity as the details haven’t been made public.
