The Newly Elected Government is Working to Recover the Interest of American and European Companies
Argentina in brief
Under President Mauricio Macri, the authorities have been rolling out reforms to bring Argentina back onto the global stage, raise international competitiveness and accelerate GDP growth. These efforts have resulted in a mixed performance of key economic indicators. The government exceeded expectations in lowering the fiscal deficit in 2017 to 3.9% of GDP, versus the initial forecast of 4.2%, yet external debt has risen from $170bn at the end of 2015 to $233bn two years later. Nevertheless, the successful implementation of various reforms and improving macroeconomic fundamentals saw international rating agencies upgrade Argentina’s sovereign credit rating in the second half of 2017.
