Why Argentina Today?
The national government has embarked on a path to create favorable conditions for attracting investment. Through Decree 70/2023 and other decisions, trade barriers and restrictions were eliminated to reduce the regulatory burden and ensure business profitability.
President Milei’s Government economic program is based on a pro-market agenda that has managed to stabilize the exchange market, lower inflation, and guarantee legal certainty, generating a favorable climate for private initiative with transparent and predictable rules for investing in Argentina.
Incentive Regime for Large Investments (RIGI)
This direction was reaffirmed with the enactment of Law No. 27,742, which created the RIGI. This regime aims to provide predictability, stability, and legal certainty to projects involving investments exceeding USD 200 million.
The RIGI offers tax, customs, foreign exchange, and regulatory incentives, as well as regulatory stability for 30 years, to projects in eight sectors:
