Summary:

The economy is rebounding. The government has unwound multiple distortions and made important progress in restoring integrity and transparency in public sector operations. These policy changes have put the economy on a stronger footing and corrected many of the most urgent macroeconomic imbalances. Argentina is experiencing a solid recovery from last year’s recession and, even in the face of planned fiscal consolidation and ongoing efforts at disinflation, growth is expected to slowly pick up in the coming years. Inflation continues to fall, albeit at a slower pace than targeted by the central bank.
