Argentina has signed an agreement with US hedge funds to settle a protracted dispute over its failure to repay billions of dollars worth of bonds. The previous government of President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, refused to negotiate with the hedge funds, labeling them "vultures" and 'financial terrorists'. But her successor , Mauricio Macri , made resolving the issue a priority following his election last December.
