According to the most current World Economic Outlook published by the International Monetary Fund, which was presented on Monday in Brussels, it is projected that Argentina’s gross domestic product will increase by 4% in both the years 2026 and 2027. Despite the fact that the world economy is experiencing significant pressures, the organization maintained its earlier projection for Argentina, which was initially published in October of last year. Additionally, the group noted that the global economy is on a “firm” expansion trajectory.
Argentine growth is expected to exceed the global average, which is estimated to be 3.3% for 2026 and 3.2% for 2027, according to the World Economic Outlook report that was published in January. Argentina is projected to be one of the top-performing countries worldwide in the coming two years. Furthermore, Argentina has shown to be more successful than the two major economies in Latin America. Based on projections, the growth rate of Brazil is expected to slow down from 2.5% in 2025 to 1.6% in 2026, and then it is anticipated to pick up to 2.3% in 2027. Mexico, on the other hand, is forecast to have a growth trajectory that is more moderate, with anticipated rates of 1.5% and 2.1% over the course of the next two years.
As countries shift toward their potential production from diverse cyclical positions, the International Monetary Fund projects that growth in Latin America and the Caribbean would decrease to 2.2% in 2026, followed by a recovery to 2.7% in 2027. This is followed by a rebound to 2.7% in 2027. Taking all of this into consideration, Argentina stands out as one of the countries that is expected to experience the most robust growth.
According to a table that can be found in the World Economic Outlook, Argentina is now ranked tenth among the thirty economies that account for a major share of the global GDP in terms of most rapid economic growth. It is only surpassed by countries such as India, the Philippines, Indonesia, Egypt, China, and Saudi Arabia, in addition to other countries that are experiencing rapid economic growth in emerging markets.
