BUENOS AIRES, Nov 26 (Reuters) - Argentina's government said on Friday the fiscal deficit for the year would be around 3.5%, below a previously amended target of 4%, a boost for the grains-producing country as it seeks to balance spending with the need to reduce its debts.
Argentina is locked in talks with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to roll over some $45 billion in payments it cannot make and is preparing a multi-year economic plan that will be key to sealing a deal.
