Argentina inked an agreement with the staff of the International Monetary Fund on a new program Thursday, a key step toward finalizing a $45 billion deal after almost two years of negotiations.

The staff-level accord, which includes commitments to narrow the government’s fiscal deficit and money-printing while unwinding energy subsidies, will seek to address the country’s “persistent” high inflation and improving public finances, according to areleased by the IMF.The program will now be sent by the government to congress for approval, the Argentine Economy Ministry said in a separate statement, before reaching the IMF’s executive board for final approval.

Economy Minister Martin Guzman, along with other members of his economic team, are scheduled to present the agreement to congress on March 7. The government faces not only a divided ruling coalition but also increasing animosity from the opposition, making the approval more challenging. Without providing specifics, the officials said the agreement intends to roll back Argentina’s currency controls, which companies operating in the country often complain about.
