Argentina at a Glance
Key measures keep their own definitions and reference years so unlike concepts are not silently combined.
Output trend
Economic structure, Government debt and Merchandise trade
Sector shares use their latest available World Bank year. They are not forced into a single year when the source does not support that.
Economic structure
Different reference years are shown explicitly. The shares are not added together as though they came from the same period.
Government debt
General government gross debt, 2026 IMF forecast.
Merchandise trade
Merchandise trade is kept separate from broader goods-and-services measures.
What Argentina's economic profile is telling you
Argentina returned to strong real growth in 2025, with World Bank GDP of about $683.10 billion and growth of 4.4%. The latest World Bank annual CPI figure is still the 2024 reading of 219.9%, so the inflation year is deliberately shown separately.
Argentina recorded a merchandise trade surplus in 2024. Brazil was the largest export destination, while agricultural products, energy and manufactured goods all feature in the export mix.
The main economic signal
The main story is a rebound in real activity alongside an inflation backdrop that remains the defining macroeconomic risk, even as merchandise trade stayed in surplus.
Why the definitions matter
Nominal GDP, real growth, CPI inflation, unemployment, sector value added, government debt and merchandise trade measure different things. This page keeps their units, years and sources visible instead of blending them into one synthetic score.
