IMF to disburse $120 million to El Salvador

The International Monetary Fund announced Tuesday it has reached a staff-level agreement to disburse around $120 million to El Salvador, following the first review of a $1.4 billion, 40-month extended fund facility program.

The release of the funds still requires approval from the IMF executive board.

The agreement follows a strong performance under the program, with most targets comfortably met and good progress on structural reforms, according to the IMF.

The broader $1.4 billion arrangement was approved in February, aimed at supporting economic stability and reforms. Separately, El Salvador also secured a $500 million loan from the Inter-American Development Bank in March to reinforce its national budget.
