Argentina's country risk sits above 600 points, keeping markets watchful as the government frames rising turbulence as an external story while economists flag an overvalued dollar
Argentina's country risk sits above 600 points, keeping markets watchful as the government frames rising turbulence as an external story while economists flag an overvalued dollar weighing on growth. The economy minister pushes back on recession talk, describing a slowdown rather than a contraction, even as the IMF nudges officials to make sure the recovery reaches workers facing falling real wages. On the brighter side, agricultural exports to Europe have climbed sharply since the Mercosur trade deal, and a major lithium expansion plan seeking treatment under the RIGI investment incentive regime adds to the pipeline of foreign capital projects.
