A country mid-turn

Argentina is the continent’s second-largest country, European in its origins and its culture, and for decades also a textbook case of an economy able to hurt itself. Since 2024 it has been going through the deepest liberalisation in generations: deregulation, repairing the public finances and dismantling the currency controls that complicated every foreign investment for years.

Inflation, which not long ago ran into hundreds of per cent a year, has slowed sharply. For an investor that means a country where asset prices are historically low and where the environment moves fast — in both directions.

What Argentina offers

• Property and farmland at a fraction of European prices.
• Rich mineral resources, including lithium and the Vaca Muerta field.
• A well-educated workforce and a strong services and IT sector.
• European culture, food and a temperate climate.

What to watch

Argentina has several sovereign defaults behind it and a record of changing the rules mid-game. The reform is promising but unfinished, and the political cycle could undo some of it. Money should go in with the understanding that this is a bet on the reforms continuing, not a conservative place to park capital.
