Argentina’s gross domestic product (GDP) is projected to grow by 4% in 2026 and 2027, according to the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) latest World Economic Outlook, presented on Monday in Brussels. January’s World Economic Outlook ranked Argentina among the best-performing economies globally over the next two years, as its growth is expected to exceed the global average, estimated at 3.3% for 2026 and 3.2% for 2027. Brazil is expected to slow its growth rate from 2.5% in 2025 to 1.6% in 2026, with a recovery to 2.3% in 2027. In this context, Argentina appears to be one of the countries with the strongest projected growth. According to a table included in the World Economic Outlook, which outlines forecasts for 30 economies that account for the majority of global GDP, Argentina ranks as the eleventh fastest-growing economy.
