Argentina, the third-largest economy in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), is among the LAC countries whose populations enjoy the greatest degree of equality. However, it continues to face development challenges. Living standards, education and health outcomes, and access to basic infrastructure vary greatly among different Argentine regions; in particular, the northern provinces (Norte Grande, or NG) and parts of greater Buenos Aires lag behind. Argentina’s business environment is marked by obstacles to competition, growth, and innovation, as well as insufficient access to finance because of the underdeveloped financial system. A lack of investment in infrastructure has resulted in persistent gaps in the quality of Argentina’s roads and of the electricity supply. Argentina’s institutions and regulatory framework continue to exhibit significant weaknesses, although public perceptions of the quality and efficiency of Government improved at least temporarily during the evaluation period. The 2016-2019 evaluation period was marked by a return to crisis after initial stabilization attempts. The incoming Government took several measures to address a deteriorating macroeconomic and fiscal situation and create better conditions for investment. However, as economic shocks in early 2018 added to continued high fiscal deficits financed by foreign debt and Argentina’s Central Bank, waning investor confidence resulted in capital outflows and a currency depreciation. Facing liquidity challenges, in June 2018 Argentina’s Government signed a US$50.7 billion three-year stand-by agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the largest in IMF history, which was later expanded by another US$6.3 billion. So far, US$44.1 billion of the program have been drawn down. Inflation, poverty, and unemployment continued to rise through 2018 and 2019, and after the ruling coalition’s clear loss in the August 2019 primary elections, a sharp drop in international reserves prompted the Government to reinstate currency controls and delay domestic debt payments. After general elections confirmed the opposition’s return to power in late 2019, the new Government passed several emergency measures, including increased export taxes and a freeze in public utility tariffs, and announced its intention to restructure a large part of its foreign debt, including its obligations under the IMF program. More recently, the Government has also introduced several emergency measures to address the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. https://publications.iadb.org/es/evaluacion-del-programa-de-pais-argentina-2016-2019 Fil: Sartori, Juan Pompilio.
