Public service and welfare updates in Argentina and Peru

Overview

Public service and social welfare developments have been reported in Argentina and Peru.

In Argentina, municipal pediatric services saw their highest demand of the year in June 2026, with over 9,000 consultations provided to uninsured minors between January and August. Subsequently, the Secretariat of Energy introduced new requirements for gas cylinder subsidies to replace the former Plan Hogar. Eligible households can receive reimbursements via virtual wallets, with limits varying by season.

In Peru, authorities launched a campaign to provide free National Identity Documents (DNI) in five districts of Metropolitan Lima following heavy rains. Regarding water services, data indicates a decline in the number of households in Arequipa receiving the Focused Cross Subsidy (SCF). The number of domestic users benefiting from reduced water tariffs fell from 81,765 in late 2021 to 72,806 by August 2026.
