Argentina’s Economic Revival and Attractive Investment Opportunities
In a recent report by IMI Daily, a renowned residency-by-investment platform, Argentina is planning to offer citizenship to attract investments, with a fast-tracked process for those investing a minimum of $500,000. The program will prioritize “productive investments” that create jobs and substantially contribute to the economy, rather than passive real estate investments.
This initiative is expected to be enacted through a presidential executive order, with the government proceeding cautiously to ensure a solid legal framework. A dedicated government agency, modeled after Select USA in the United States, is planned to oversee and promote the program.
Argentina’s passport offers visa-free access to 172 countries, including the Schengen Area in Europe, and residency rights in MERCOSUR countries. This policy shift showcases the country’s market-oriented and open economic mindset.
A Top Global Agriculture Powerhouse
Argentina’s economy is showing significant signs of recovery after months of austerity measures. Inflation, which peaked at 211% in late 2023, causing a severe cost-of-living crisis, has dramatically declined. As per the latest data from INDEC, released in May 2025, annual inflation dropped to 47.3%, the lowest since 2021, with monthly inflation at 2.8%.
This initial success in curbing price increases has brought optimism to the entire economy. After a year of recession, major international organizations have upgraded their growth forecasts for Argentina. The World Bank and OECD now predict a rebound to 5.5%-5.7% growth in 2025.
According to the IMF, Argentina’s nominal GDP in 2024 was estimated at $604 billion, reflecting a challenging year of economic adjustment with a real GDP contraction of 2.8%-3.5% compared to 2023. This temporary setback placed Argentina’s ranking at approximately 24-25 in the world for that year.
In contrast, the country’s nominal GDP in 2023 was $646 billion, ranking 22nd globally. While short-term economic fluctuations may impact rankings, Argentina remains resilient due to its solid strengths and potential.
Renowned for its agricultural prowess, Argentina is the world’s top exporter of soybean products and a leading supplier of corn, wheat, and high-quality beef. Additionally, the country boasts the Vaca Muerta shale deposit, the second-largest shale gas and fourth-largest shale oil reserve globally. Effective development of Vaca Muerta ensures energy security and positions Argentina as a significant net energy exporter.
