Argentina PyME exports hit 13-year record, domestic sales contract 2.4%

Argentine small and medium enterprises (PyMEs) achieved a 13-year export record between January and August, with 6,721 firms selling abroad. This contrasts with a 2.4% contraction in domestic consumption, indicating an export-led recovery amid weak internal demand. The divergence suggests economic rebalancing but raises concerns about the sustainability of growth without domestic consumption recovery.
