Argentina economic pressures, reforms, politics July 2026

Overview

The peso continued to weaken, with the official wholesale rate near 1,483 per dollar and the informal “blue” market reaching a record $1,555 per dollar. The central bank bought roughly US$45 million in foreign currency. ARCA lifted extraordinary customs‑service tariffs, accelerated tax‑credit refunds and, on 22 July, raised Monotributo income limits and monthly contributions by 16.8 % across all categories, opening a recategorisation portal until 5 August. Transport reforms progressed: Córdoba’s council approved a new taxi and remise ordinance that extends the vehicle age limit to ten years, raises the driver‑age ceiling to 76, removes several licence fees and digitises licensing on the “Mi Docta” platform. The national Superintendence of Insurance introduced a uniform liability‑insurance policy for passenger‑transport vehicles, and San Luis Governor Claudio Poggi presented a bill to create Road Consortia funded by provincial taxes and producer contributions. Economic stresses deepened. The “Volver al Trabajo” employment program ended as a court‑ordered payment suspension was lifted; a survey of SME leaders reported about 30 firm closures per day, erasing roughly 342 000 formal jobs. Economist Horacio Fazio warned that the recent decline in inflation – now around 2 % monthly – could push unemployment up to 7.8 %. June showed a primary deficit of 696.8 billion pesos and a financial deficit exceeding one trillion, driven by a mid‑year pension bonus and postponed tax collection; “floating debt” added a 5.6 billion‑peso gap. Social impacts persisted: the minimum wage lost over 40 % of its purchasing power since Milei’s inauguration, requiring more than two and a half hours of work to buy a kilo of bread. Consumer spending fell again in June, with retail sales down 2.7 % year‑on‑year, while e‑commerce grew 41 % YoY.
