AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoArgentina Economy & Industry: A new look at Argentina’s “real economy” says the Milei era’s debate has shifted away from the dollar and toward manufacturing, construction, and retail, with industrial output down 7% since late 2023 and capacity use at 58.4%, while oil and gas tied to Vaca Muerta is booming. Maritime Security & Fisheries: Argentina is preparing a new satellite to monitor the Argentine Sea and crack down on illegal fishing, as “Mile 201” off the Patagonian coast remains a hotspot where hundreds of trawlers operate beyond the EEZ and studies estimate losses of $600m–$1b a year. Weather & Agriculture: El Niño is expected to push temperatures above normal through August to October, with wetter odds in the Río de la Plata and river basins and rainfall deficits in parts of Patagonia and the Andes, affecting snowmelt flows. Policy & Culture: Milei’s government keeps the traditional “Children’s Day” name in place via the 2025 decree, restoring the label after a 2020 change to “Day of the Childhoods” tied to the toy industry’s push for clarity. Business & Trade: A guide to global payment platforms highlights options for cross-border payments relevant to Argentina-based contractors and exporters, including stablecoin and crypto payout rails.
