Argentina Senate debates Super RIGI investment regime amendments
The Argentine Senate is debating the Super RIGI (Incentive Regime for Large Investments), a government initiative designed to attract investments of at least US$ 1,000 million through fiscal, exchange, and regulatory benefits. The project includes a proposed reduction of the Income Tax rate to 15% and accelerated investment amortization.
To secure approval from allied blocs such as the UCR and PRO, the La Libertad Avanza party has accepted significant amendments. These changes include a requirement that the 20% local procurement quota applies exclusively to goods effectively produced within Argentina to protect domestic industry. Additionally, a new mandate requires electro-intensive industries, such as AI data centers, to implement their own power generation systems to prevent overloading provincial electrical grids.
Due to these Senate-led modifications, the project must now return to the Chamber of Deputies for a second review. While the government initially resisted these changes, the amendments aim to address concerns regarding national supply and energy stability.
