The economy grew by 4.4% in 2025, with winning and losing sectors

Argentina's economy experienced a growth of 4.4% in 2025, with varying performances across different sectors.

In 2025, Argentina's economy reported a growth of 4.4%, in line with market expectations and projections from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), as reported by Indec. This growth included a significant 2.1% increase in the fourth quarter compared to the same period in 2024. The boost in the economy came largely from a surge in private consumption, which rose by 7.9%, along with a substantial 16.4% increase in investment and a 7.6% rise in exports. Conversely, public consumption was relatively stagnant at just 0.2%, while imports witnessed a considerable spike of 27%.

Economist Camilo Tiscornia, director of C&T Asesores Económicos, commented that these published figures were in line with previous anticipations made by the Monthly Estimator of Economic Activity (EMAE). He indicated that the annual growth rate of 4.4% reflects a relatively strong performance, despite showing disparities in sectoral growth—indicating that some areas of the economy have thrived while others have not. This contrast emphasizes the diverse nature of economic recovery post-pandemic, highlighting both winners and losers in the market.

As Argentina moves forward, the implications of such growth can signal positive trends for investment and consumption, potentially encouraging further economic activity. However, the uneven growth across sectors may warrant attention from policymakers to address the challenges faced by underperforming areas to ensure a more balanced and sustainable economic development in the future.
