Argentina RIGI draws $50B in energy/mining investments; YPF LNG leads at $51B

Argentina's Large Investment Incentive Regime (RIGI) has approved 48 projects totaling nearly $50 billion, concentrated in energy and mining, including copper, lithium, oil, and gas. The flagship is YPF's Argentina LNG project, the largest investment in the country's history at $51 billion, signaling a major bet on export infrastructure. The scale and speed of approvals suggest a policy-driven push to attract foreign capital, though execution risks and global commodity price volatility remain.
