The World Bank trimmed the forecast for Argentina’s growth from 4.6% to 4% in its January Global Economic Prospects report published on Tuesday. According to the document, the country’s GDP is also expected to increase by 4% in 2027. “Domestic policy uncertainty late last year led to bouts of exchange rate pressure, prompting increases in market interest rates that are expected to weigh on domestic demand and growth this year,” the World Bank said in its report. The document also highlighted that the support Argentina received from the United States, “including the provision of swap lines, helped stabilize financial conditions.”In October, Argentina received a US$20 billion currency swap line from the Trump White House. The government has recently relaxed its exchange rate regime even further, as it now updates the currency bands based on inflation.
