FX.co ★ Argentina’s Economic Activity Loses Momentum in May, Year-on-Year Growth Slows to 0.2%

Argentina’s economic activity decelerated sharply in May 2026, with year-on-year growth easing to 0.2%, down from 1.6% in April 2026. The latest data, updated on 22 July 2026, underscore a notable loss of momentum in the country’s recovery trajectory.

The current figure compares the change in May 2026 to May 2025, while the previous indicator reflected April 2026 against April 2025. The slowdown from 1.6% to 0.2% suggests that the economy is still expanding compared with a year earlier, but at a much weaker pace than in the prior month, highlighting emerging fragilities in Argentina’s growth outlook.
