Economic Outlook

Argentina’s path recovery has been comprised of focusing on reinstituting the country into the world, solidifying economic fundamentals and improving the business environment.1 Solid results from a decade of new era economic development were best showcased already by 2017 with over $6 billion USD of Knowledge-Based Services becoming Argentina’s 2nd largest export.2 The depreciation of Argentina’s nominal exchange rate in the first semester of 2018 has further created a more attractive and competitive Global Trade Landscape. This has now enabled focusing on much broader, comprehensive economic development across other industries that now includes products. Investor sentiment has been strengthening in growing by 11.3% from 2016-2017, while Argentina’s economy is expected to rebound to a 2.7% annual growth by 2020.3

Market Access Opportunity

Argentina was ranked the sixth country in the top 10 Latin American targets for cross-border M&A deals between 2012-2017, with deal values over the period totaling $7,104 million.4   Significant upside growth opportunities exist across industries with the country further serving as a global or regional platform, integrating into local, Mercosur, other regional and global value chains, and increasing design, digitalization, innovation, and R&D.  Manufacturing has been the long-standing top driver of value-add economic output, having a well-developed, diversified base.  Food is the biggest sector, complemented by Apparel, Footwear & Textiles, Automotive & Parts Suppliers, Cosmetics, Equipment, Machinery & Tools, Pharmaceutical Laboratories, Packaging and Toys.5 While Argentina is the region’s second largest exporter, nearly 75% of production has been destined to the domestic market.C  Retail growth lies in increased regional and global expansion of its existing base of boutique apparel and food that leverage Argentina’s cosmopolitan lifestyle and market.  Knowledge-Based Services and Tourism are benefitting immensely from the currency depreciation. Agriculture’s core is recovering, with Argentina also now becoming a leader in organics.  Natural resource sectors including Forestry, Mining, Oil & Gas and Renewable Energy are all in early stages of development and have the makings of becoming globally eminent.
