Argentina GDP growth forecast slashed to 1.5% as credit stalls, wages lag
La Nación (Argentina)LO·AR·about 4 hours ago
Argentina's government revised its 2026 GDP growth projection down to 1.5%, signaling weaker-than-expected economic momentum. Concurrently, the trade deficit with Brazil narrowed, reflecting improved bilateral trade flows. The growth downgrade suggests fiscal or external headwinds, while the trade improvement may ease external financing pressures.
