Argentina’s economic activity expanded by 1.6% year-over-year in April 2026, marking a sharp deceleration from the 5.5% annual growth recorded in March 2026. The latest data, updated on 29 June 2026, signal a notable loss of momentum in the country’s recovery trajectory.
On a year-over-year basis, April’s 1.6% reading compares the level of economic activity to that of April 2025, while March’s previously reported 5.5% figure was measured against March 2025. The slowdown suggests that while Argentina’s economy continues to grow compared with a year earlier, the pace of that growth has moderated significantly as the second quarter of 2026 begins.
Investors and policymakers will be watching subsequent releases closely to assess whether April’s weaker performance reflects a temporary pause or the start of a more persistent cooling in Argentina’s economic activity.
