Argentine political and economic developments

Overview

Argentina continues to experience significant political and economic shifts. Politically, movements are reorganizing ahead of the 2027 elections. Within Peronism, the ‘Liga de Intendentes’ met with Máximo Kirchner to express support for Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and discuss territorial expansion. Efforts to integrate the ‘62 Organizaciones Peronistas’ are underway to rebuild ties between the party and labor unions, though internal disputes persist in provinces such as Chaco and San Juan. Other party shifts include the PRO youth wing attempting to unify sectors in Buenos Aires and the Radical Civic Union (UCR) installing new leadership in Quilmes and Catamarca. Recent political friction has emerged regarding government deregulation. In the Senate, debate on the Super RIGI project has been delayed as allied blocks, including the UCR and PRO, withhold signatures on the majority report. These allies are demanding new articles to protect national companies when price differences between domestic and foreign offers reach 15%. Furthermore, the ruling La Libertad Avanza (LLA) coalition faced a high-profile departure with the resignation of Leila Gianni, who criticized the administration for failing to listen to the people and moving away from its foundational values. In the agricultural sector, small yerba mate producers have reported an “unsustainable” situation following market deregulation via Decree 70 and Decree 812. Producers claim that while retail prices remain high, their earnings have dropped significantly, leading to planned protests during President Javier Milei’s visit to Misiones. Economically, the country faces fragmented growth. While mining and agriculture have seen significant year-on-year growth, manufacturing and construction remain below five-year averages. The currency market remains volatile; the wholesale dollar has broken above the $1,500 threshold, with the official rate recently reaching $1,514. By mid-2026, this economic crisis has caused a sharp divergence between sectors.
