Argentina

Located in South America, Argentina is the second largest in the region providing access to the South Atlantic Ocean and the South Pacific Ocean. Its economy is open to global market integration, and as the country finds solutions to its economic challenges, opportunities for investment has improved. This potential is founded in its rich in resource nature and the fact that Argentina possesses the second strongest industrial sector in South America. Argentina is a member of MERCOSUR, the Southern Common Market.

Members of MERCOSUR have negotiated trade agreements with other countries or country groups to gain commercial and political cooperation between them. Argentina’s membership in the common market has helped steady economic growth over the years. This improvement is also due in part to the public and private increase in consumption, as well as a steady fiscal balance.

The Argentinean government promotes foreign investment in the country through regulations available for both domestic and foreign investors as a method of coordinating and promoting investment; these include horizontal incentives, sectoral incentives, and regional incentives. Each type targets different types of economic sectors and activities, making it clear the country welcomes investment and supports economic expansion accordingly.
