Argentina SME collapse: 31,000 firms closed, 181,500 jobs lost under Milei
PerfilSRC LO·AR·3 days ago
Argentine industrial performance has deteriorated sharply during President Milei's administration, with analyst Horacio Fazio describing the situation as an 'industriocide' and noting the absence of a strategy to address the decline. The claim is based on commentary rather than hard data, and the severity of the contraction is not quantified. This matters because sustained industrial decline could deepen Argentina's recession and complicate Milei's economic reform agenda.
