Argentina

The Argentine Republic is a federal republic located in southern South America, blessed with a vast territory and abundant agricultural, livestock, and mineral resources. It shares borders with Chile to the west and south, Bolivia and Paraguay to the north, Brazil and Uruguay to the northeast, and faces the Atlantic Ocean to the east and south, giving it distinctive geographical features. While its economy benefits from natural resources, it has historically experienced repeated fluctuations.

Looking at the data for 2025, it can be observed that the Argentine economy is on a recovery trend. Real GDP growth shows a robust increase of 4.4%, a 5.7 percentage point improvement from the previous year. With a total population of approximately 45.85 million people, real GDP growth per capita also maintains positive growth at 4.0%. Nominal GDP (in US dollars) is an estimated $683.1 billion, and nominal GDP per capita (in US dollars) is $14,898. However, a major economic challenge is the extremely high consumer price inflation rate of 219.9% as of 2024, an increase of 86.4 percentage points from the previous year. Perhaps in response to this high inflation, the real interest rate as of 2025 is positive at 5.0%, but it shows a significant fluctuation of 52.4 percentage points from the previous year. Additionally, the unemployment rate as of 2025 is 7.1%, a slight improvement from the previous year.

Regarding external economic aspects, trade (as a percentage of GDP) accounts for 30.4% as of 2025. The current account balance (as a percentage of GDP) is in deficit at -1.1%, worsening by 2.0 percentage points from the previous year, which suggests challenges in external balances. The latest data regarding government debt has not been publicly released.
