default since the end of 2001 undertaken by the Government between January and May of 2005.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• " <u>2010 Debt Exchange</u> " refers to the restructuring and exchange of public debt that had been in

foreign currency and governed by foreign and local law undertaken by the Government between April and September 2020.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• " <u>ALADI</u> " refers to the *Asociación Latinoamericana de Integración* (Latin
American Integration Association).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• " <u>BADLAR</u> " rate is an average rate published by the Central Bank based on a survey of financial
institutions in Argentina regarding the nominal annual interest rate in peso-denominated time deposits of more than Ps.1.0 million from 30 to 35 days.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• " <u>CAF</u> " refers to *Corporación Andina de Fomento* (Andean Promotion Corporation);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• " <u>Consumer Price Index</u>," or " <u>CPI</u>," is an index calculated on a weighted
basket of consumer goods and services. References in this Annual Report to " <u>National CPI</u> " refers to CPI figures that the INDEC began publishing in July 2017 based on a survey conducted by INDEC and several provincial statistical
offices in 39 urban areas encompassing each of the Republic's provinces. Results are not reported by the provinces, but on a national level and for six statistical regions: the Greater Buenos Aires Metropolitan area, the Cuyo region, the
Northeast region, the Northwest region, the Central (Pampeana) Region and the Southern (Patagonia) region.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• " <u>defaulted debt</u> " or " <u>debt in default</u> " as of any given date refers to all of
Argentina's public indebtedness on which Argentina is not paying principal or interest as of such date, plus any past due principal and interest payments calculated at contractual rates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• " <u>FONPLATA</u> " refers to the *Fondo Financiero para el Desarrollo de la Cuenca del Plata* (Financial Fund for the Development of the River Plate Basin).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• " <u>GAFISUD</u> " refers to the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering in South America.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• " <u>Gross domestic product</u> " or " <u>GDP</u> " means the total value of final products
and services produced in Argentina during the relevant period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• " <u>IMF</u> " refers to the International Monetary Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• " <u>IADB</u> " refers to the Inter-American Development Bank.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• " <u>non-performing debt</u> " refers to public indebtedness of
Argentina that was formally subject to the moratorium declared by the Government in December 2001, other than Untendered Debt. Argentina's non-performing debt encompasses all public debt on which
Argentina is in default as of any given date (other than Untendered Debt), including past due principal and interest payments calculated at contractual rates. Non-performing debt also includes the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) certain debt obligations on which the Government has continued to make payments on a case-by-case basis (such as in cases of extreme necessity (*e.g*., for senior citizens 75 years of age or older) or when the provision of essential services is
threatened), despite being formally subject to the suspension of debt payments; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) certain obligations that resulted from the advance payment of tax obligations by certain companies. These
advance tax payments gave rise to claims against the Government for the amount of the payment. The Government considers these claims additional public indebtedness of Argentina and they are treated as such in the Government's accounts. These
claims, however, are discharged when the tax obligation that gave rise to the advanced payment actually becomes payable, at which time the tax obligation is cancelled. Accordingly, although formally subject to the suspension of payments, the
Government's obligations in respect of these claims are not in default.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• " <u>Settlement Proposal</u> "**  refers to the proposal, published by the Republic on
February 5, 2016, to settle all claims on Untendered Debt not otherwise time-barred, including bonds in litigation in the United States and elsewhere. See "Public Sector Debt—Legal Proceedings—The Settlement."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• " <u>TAMAR</u> " refers to a rate calculated based on fixed-term deposits of Ps.1 billion or more,
maturing in 30 to 35 days. The minimum amount of deposits eligible for calculation will be updated on an annual basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• " <u>Untendered Debt</u> " means, with respect to data included herein through 2016, defaulted debt in
respect of securities that were eligible for, but not tendered in, the 2005 Debt Exchange and the 2010 Debt Exchange and have not been settled since February 5, 2016. References to Untendered Debt in this Annual Report do not constitute, and
shall not be read or construed to constitute a waiver of any defenses available to the Republic with respect to the enforcement of any claim thereunder. See "Preservation of Defenses." The Republic has not offered to pay time-barred
claims on principal or interest. See "Public Sector Debt—Legal Proceedings." Any amounts of Untendered Debt set forth in this Annual Report have been defined in this Annual Report to include unpaid principal plus accrued and unpaid
interest at contractual rates through December 31, 2024, including penalty or default interest. In settling outstanding disputes with holdout creditors pursuant to the Settlement Proposal, the Republic took into consideration interest accrued
after the originally scheduled maturity of each defaulted series of securities (other than time-barred interest), as well as default interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• " <u>WTO</u> " refers to the World Trade Organization.

**Preservation of Defenses** 

Nothing in this Annual Report, or in any communication from the Republic, constitutes an acknowledgment or admission of the existence of any claim or any liability of the Republic to pay that claim or an acknowledgment that any ability to bring proceedings in any jurisdiction in respect of such claim or any limitation period relating thereto has been revived or reinstated, or an express or implied promise to pay any such claim (or part thereof). Whether or not a claim exists, the Republic may in its sole discretion and only if written notice to that effect is received from a duly authorized officer of the Republic, attribute a value to such claim for purposes of the Republic's Settlement Proposal or for any other purpose. All defenses available to the Republic relating to any applicable statute of limitations or otherwise are expressly preserved for all purposes. This Annual Report may not be relied upon as evidence of the Republic's agreement that a claim exists, or of the Republic's willingness, ability or obligation to pay any claim. Any attribution of any value to any claim for purposes of the Republic's Settlement Proposal or for any other purpose will not be considered an acknowledgment of the existence or validity of that claim and any consideration given by or on behalf of the Republic to the proponent of that claim will be consideration only for the agreement by the proponent of that claim to cease all actions or proceedings in respect of that claim and to irrevocably assign and transfer to the Republic all rights, if any, with respect to such claim and to undertake to complete any and all formalities or requirements necessary to ensure that if such claim existed neither the proponent nor any successor or assignee of the proponent (other than the Republic) is able to evidence or allege such claim to remain in existence or to be a liability of the Republic.

**Exchange Rates** 

The Republic publishes most of its economic indicators and other statistics in pesos. The peso floated freely with limited intervention by the Central Bank between January 2016 and August 2019. During this period, the peso lost 77.9% of its value compared to the U.S. dollar, from Ps.13.65 per U.S.$1.00 on January 1, 2016 to Ps.59.1 per U.S.$1.00 on August 30, 2019. During 2019 alone, the peso lost 36.9% of its value compared to the U.S. dollar. In September 2019, the Central Bank imposed restrictions on foreign exchange transactions, which were tightened between October and December 2019. See "Monetary System—Foreign Exchange and International Reserves—Foreign Exchange." During 2024, the peso lost 21.7% of its value vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar and, on December 30, 2024, the exchange rate was Ps.1032.5 to U.S.$1.00. As of October 28, 2025, the peso-dollar reference exchange rate was Ps.1,470.8 to U.S.$1.00.

The Central Bank maintains an exchange rate management policy aimed at consolidating the gradual process of lowering the inflation rate. In addition, the Central Bank seeks to maintain the real exchange rate at a competitive level to accumulate reserves and maintain a trade surplus.

------

The following table sets forth the annual high, low, average and period-end "reference" exchange rates for the periods indicated, expressed in pesos per U.S. dollar and not adjusted for inflation. There can be no assurance that the peso will not depreciate or appreciate in the future. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not report a noon buying rate for pesos.

**RECENT DEVELOPMENTS** 

*The information contained in this section supplements the information about the Republic corresponding to the headings below that are contained in this Annual Report. This information is not necessarily indicative of the Argentine economy or fiscal results for the full year or any other period. You should read the following discussion of recent developments together with the more detailed information appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report.* 

**THE REPUBLIC OF ARGENTINA** 

**October 2025 Congressional Elections** 

On October 26, 2027, congressional elections were held in Argentina. Candidates of La Libertad Avanza obtained 35 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and ten seats in the Senate (for a total of 107 and 24 seats, respectively), Unión Por la Patria obtained one seat in the Chamber of Deputies and lost six seats in the Senate (for a total of 99 and 28 seats, respectively), and the rest of the political parties lost, in the aggregate, 36 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and four seats in the Senate (for a total of 51 and 20 seats, respectively).

**Recent Measures Adopted by the Republic** 

On February 20, 2025, the Senate approved the suspension of the 2025 *Elecciones Primarias Abiertas Simultáneas y Obligatorias* (Simultaneous and Mandatory Open Primary Elections or "PASO"). As a result, in the 2025 congressional elections each political party will be responsible for selecting its candidates independently.

**Foreign Affairs and International Organizations** 

***MERCOSUR***

In 2025, MERCOSUR Member States agreed to authorize an increase of up to 50 additional tariff lines per member under the National List of Exceptions ("NLE") to the common external tariff. As of the date of this Annual Report, the measure has not yet entered into force as it is still pending internal approval by the Member States in accordance with MERCOSUR regulations. This initiative seeks to provide temporary flexibility to address productive asymmetries and input shortages while the review of the CET remains ongoing.

**THE ARGENTINE ECONOMY** 

*Reduction of Government Spending* 

In 2025, the Government continued implementing its plan to reduce government spending, modernize the public sector, and promote a leaner and more efficient public administration. See "The Argentine Economy—The Milei Administration."

On February 28, 2025, the Government issued Decree No. 144/2025 dissolving the *Fondo Fiduciario de Infraestructura y Seguridad Aeroportuaria* (Airport Security Infrastructure Trust Fund) after detecting cases of contract duplication in the *Administración Nacional de Aviación Civil* (National Civil Aviation Administration or "ANAC") and the *Fondo Fiduciario de Infraestructura y Seguridad Aeroportuaria*.

On June 18, 2025, the Government announced the integration of the *Instituto Nacional del Agua* (National Water Institute) and the *Instituto de Previsión Sísmica* (Seismic Prevention Institute) into the central administration. Moreover, the Ministry of Economy dissolved the *Fideicomiso Individual Red de Autopositas y Rutas Seguras de Participacion Publico Privada* (Individual Trust Fund for the Safe Highways and Roads Network) and the *Fondo Fiduciario de Gas Licuado de Petróleo* (Liquefied Petroleum Gas Trust Fund).

Pursuant to Law No. 27,742, on July 7, 2025, the Government announced the creation of the *Ente Nacional Regulador del Gas y la Electricidad* (National Gas and Electricity Regulatory Agency), thereby unifying the functions of the *Ente Nacional Regulador del Gas* (National Gas Regulatory Authority or "ENARGAS") and the *Ente Nacional Regulador de la Electricidad* (National Electricity Regulatory Authority or "ENRE"), with the objective of optimizing public resources, allowing for the elimination of duplicated structures, facilitating coordination between both energy units and modernizing the energy sector. The measure provides for a transition period during which the current structures will remain in operation without affecting the quality of the services provided by ENARGAS and ENRE.

------

*Hydrocarbon Production* 

In June 2025, hydrocarbon production in Argentina reached its highest level in over 20 years, mainly as a result of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an agreement between the country's largest oil company, YPF S.A. ("YPF"), and the
country's largest international gas producer, Total Austral ("Total Austral"). Pursuant to the agreement, YPF acquired 100% of Total Austral's shares in the unconventional blocks La Escalonada and Rincón La Ceniza,
located in the Vaca Muerta formation, resulting in a 45% ownership by YPF over the rights on these blocks; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the inauguration of a 500 km private oil pipeline equivalent to a U.S.$1.4 billion investment, connecting
the Vaca Muerta formation with Puerto Rosales, resulting in (i) an increase in oil transport capacity, (ii) the creation of 2,400 new jobs, (iii) an increase of approximately U.S.$8 billion in the trade balance and (iv) an
increase in daily exports of 35,000 barrels. As of the date of this Annual Report, the Government was evaluating a private infrastructure project to be included in the RIGI framework.

**Role of the State in the Economy** 

***Energy sector reforms***

On May 21, 2025, the Government announced the withdrawal of energy subsidies for approximately 15,500 electricity users located in high-income neighborhoods in the City of Buenos Aires and the province of Buenos Aires, resulting in annual public savings equivalent to Ps.3 billion.

On July 7, 2025, the Government issued Decree No. 450/2025, providing for a structural reform in the electricity system with the objective of establishing an open and competitive market centered on the private sector by (i) promoting the expansion of the electricity grid and (ii) allowing for a full openness to international trade.

***Incentive Regime for Large Investments***

On January 8, 2025, the Government approved the first project under the *Régimen de Incentivo para Grandes Inversiones* (Incentive Regime for Large Investments or "RIGI"), consisting of a 305-megawatt photovoltaic park by YPF Energía Eléctrica ("YPF Luz") in the province of Mendoza, which will generate an investment of U.S.$211 million. See "The Argentine Economy—Role of the State in the Economy—Incentive Regime for Large Investments."

Within the framework of the RIGI, in May 2025, one of the world's largest mineral reserves was found in the province of San Juan by the mining companies Lundin Mining and BHP. With an estimated production of 13 million tons of copper, the reserve is expected to produce approximately 32 million ounces of gold and 659 million ounces of silver.

In addition, as part of the RIGI, a producer of steel products (Sidersa) has announced its intention to invest U.S.$286 million to build a state-of-the-art steel factory, which is expected to create more than 300 direct jobs and 4,000 indirect jobs. The steel factory is the first industrial project to enter the RIGI framework and part of the 14 projects already approved as part of the RIGI framework, amounting to a total investment of approximately U.S.$16.2 billion.

***Privatization Policy***

In February 2025, the Government enacted a decree converting Banco Nación (as defined herein) into a limited company, marking the initial step toward its potential privatization. Despite this structural change, as of the date of this Annual Report, the Argentine state retained ownership of 99.9% of Banco Nación's share capital, with the remaining 0.1% held by the Banco Nación Foundation.

The Government is considering incorporating private capital through the transfer of 90% of shares of AysA, a public company dedicated to providing water and sewer services. The proposed scheme combines a national and international public tender to select a strategic operator and an initial public offering of AySA's shares. The plan provides for the participation of employees as shareholders through an employee share ownership program, which is expected to amount to 10% of the share capital. The privatization process is expected to be regulated and monitored by the *Comisión Nacional de Valores* (National Securities Commission or "CNV") to ensure its transparency.

**Poverty and Income Distribution** 

INDEC's assessment of its essential goods and services basket for the Greater Buenos Aires area indicates that a standard family required Ps.520,529 to gain access to the essential goods and services basket in August 2025, compared to Ps.421,474 in August 2024.

According to INDEC, in August 2025, the essential food basket for households stood at Ps.168,456, compared to Ps.136,399 in August 2024.

------

**Employment and Labor** 

***Wages and Labor Productivity***

In September 2025, the minimum monthly wage stood at Ps.322,000, representing an increase of 20.1% compared to September 2024.

In the second half of 2025, the minimum income subject to income tax was Ps.4.2 million.

**International Reserves** 

As of October 15, 2025, the gross international reserve assets of the Central Bank totaled U.S.$41.7 billion, compared to U.S.$29.6 billion as of December 31, 2024. This increase in gross international reserves was mainly due to the increase in the U.S. dollar price of reserve assets, such as gold. See "Monetary System—Monetary Policy."

**MONETARY SYSTEM** 

**Monetary Policy** 

On January 30, 2025, the Board of the Central Bank reduced the monetary policy rate from an annual rate of 32% to an annual rate of 29%.

**Foreign Exchange and International Reserves** 

On April 11, 2025, the Central Bank started the third phase of the economic program adopted by the Government by the end of 2023. See "The Argentine Economy—The Milei Administration." The measures adopted by the Central Bank included:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Strengthening the Central Bank's balance sheet*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On April 10, 2025, the Central Bank renewed the whole active tranche of the bilateral swap agreement for
U.S.$5 billion with China until June 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On April 11, 2025, the Central Bank set a foreign exchange band for the U.S. dollar at the *Mercado Libre de Cambios* ("MLC") between Ps.1,000 and Ps.1,400 per U.S. dollar. The lower and upper values of the band will evolve gradually and predictably over time: -1% and +1% per month, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. Intervention within the band floor: when the foreign exchange rate reaches the band floor, the Central Bank
will purchase U.S. dollars to maintain the value of the Peso in the market while increasing foreign reserves. The issuance of Pesos will not be sterilized, facilitating the re-monetizing the economy that may
arise from an increase in the real money demand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. Intervention within the band ceiling: when the foreign exchange rate reaches the band ceiling, the Central Bank
will sell U.S. dollars to maintain the value of the Peso in the market while removing monetary liabilities, thus enabling a quick absorption of surplus liquidity that may arise from a reduction in the real money demand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. Intervention within the band: the Central Bank can (i) purchase U.S. dollars considering its macroeconomic
objectives and the accumulation of foreign reserves or (ii) sell U.S. dollars to stabilize sudden volatility in the exchange rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In May 2025, the Ministry of Economy cancelled the *Letras Intransferibles* (non-marketable bills) held by the Central Bank which were due on June 1, 2025 and April 29, 2025, and partially cancelled the non-marketable bills due on
April 3, 2029. The cancellation was financed through the inflow of U.S.$12 billion as a result of a new Extended Fund Facility agreement ("EFF") signed with the IMF on April 11, 2025, for disbursements totaling
approximately U.S.$20 billion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On June 11, 2025, the Central Bank increased its reverse repo facility operations with seven international
banks to up to U.S.$2 billion, through an auction of BOPREAL with a SOFR-USD + 450 bps interest rate, at an annual fixed rate of 8.25%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On October 20, 2025, the Central Bank announced that it had entered into a currency stabilization agreement
with the U.S. Department of the Treasury for an amount of up to U.S.$20 billion. The agreement aims to support Argentina's macroeconomic stability, with a particular focus on preserving price stability and promoting sustainable economic
growth. The agreement sets forth the terms and conditions for bilateral currency swap operations between both parties, which are expected to expand the Central Bank's monetary and exchange policy toolkit and strengthen the liquidity of its
international reserves.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Tax regime flexibility*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In April 2025, the Central Bank eliminated:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the special foreign exchange rate used by exporters to settle their exports;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• restrictions on the amounts of foreign currency that could be purchased by individuals, by allowing financial
institutions to grant their clients access to the MLC when meeting certain requirements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the requirement that export income be settled by 80% in the MLC and the remaining 20% by purchasing negotiable
securities with liquidation in foreign currencies; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• restrictions to the distribution of dividends to foreign shareholders and term restrictions for the payment of
foreign trade operations. As a result, non-resident investors have access to the MLC for remitting their investments back to their countries with regards to profits obtained in balance sheets for fiscal years
beginning on or after January 1, 2025, without previous authorization. This access is granted provided that the original investment was settled through the MLC, with a minimum holding period of six months, in accordance with the same criteria
applied to financial flows associated with external financing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On September 22, 2025, the Government issued Decree No. 682/2025 setting the export duty rate for
grains and meats at 0% for those exporters who settled at least 90% of the foreign currency proceeds within three business days following the submission of the corresponding Export Affidavit (DJVE). The measure is expected to remain in effect until
October 31, 2025, or until DJVEs are registered for an aggregate amount equivalent to U.S.$7.0 billion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• As of April 14, 2025, the deadlines for payments related to imports of goods and services have been relaxed,
with most of these now being payable upon customs entry registration (previously, payments were due 30 days after registration).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Improvement of the monetary policy framework.* The improvement is to be conducted under the sustained
premise of zero money emission to finance fiscal policy and to pay the Central Bank's interest-bearing liabilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Central Bank set the focus of its monetary programming on the monetary aggregates as the economy's
nominal anchor (instead of the fixed political monetary rate of reference which was 29% since its last modification on January 30, 2025, and until its last publication on July 10, 2025). As a result, the current focal point when deciding
the measures necessary to regulate domestic liquidity is the convergence of the observed Private Transactional M2 (average of each quarter's last month) compared to the objective Private Transactional M2.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Central Bank adopted a complementary monetary metric that represents an evolution from the *Activos Internos Netos* (Net Domestic Assets or "NDA"), which arise from the difference between monetary base and net international reserves, in accordance with the Republic's agreements with the IMF, which also implies quarterly
guidance for both NDA evolution and accumulation of net international reserves.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On April 30, 2025, the Central Bank announced the issuance of the fourth series of BOPREAL for a total
aggregate amount of U.S.$3.0 billion, to regulate outstanding foreign obligations related to the stock of dividends and retained profits accumulated until December 2024, commercial and financial debt services with related institutions and
commercial debts accumulated until December 12, 2023. These BOPREALs accrue interest at a rate of 3.00% and are scheduled to mature in October 2028. The Central Bank expects that about U.S.$1 million will be applied to cancel tax and
customs debts with ARCA.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Central Bank took measures to enable financial operations and payments in a different currency than the Peso,
such as the possibility to open U.S. dollar checking accounts to deliver electronic checks and use debit cards and other electronic platforms to pay in U.S. dollars.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Central Bank intends to boost an open finances system or *Sistema de Finanzas Abiertas* to, among other
things, simplify the access to credit, improve transparency and boost cost reduction.

In the ten-month period ended October 31, 2025, the Government focused on improving the Central Bank's foreign currency liquidity position and its balance sheet, loosening foreign exchange restrictions, and rearranging the monetary market to boost credit for the private sector, while keeping the fiscal balance with the prime goal of reducing inflation.

After reaching a peak of 84.5% in January of 2025, in September 2025, year-on-year inflation stood at 31.8%.

**Foreign Exchange and International Reserves** 

***Taxes on Foreign Exchange Trade***

On April 14, 2025, the Government eliminated the 30% advanced payment on the tax on capital for individuals buying foreign currencies with saving purposes.

***Foreign Exchange***

On September 26, 2025, the Central Bank announced that financial institutions would be required to submit an affidavit undertaking not to engage in transactions involving securities settled in foreign currency either directly, indirectly, or through third parties for a period of 90 days.

***Liquidity Management and Reserve Requirement Regime***

On July 10, 2025, the Central Bank discontinued the issuance of LEFIs. This decision was part of the transition toward a new monetary frame, supported by the Central Bank's policy toolkit, which includes targeted open-market operations and interventions in repo markets.

The Central Bank also implemented changes to the reserve requirement regime, increasing the Peso requirement to strengthen the financial system, reduce monetary volatility, and harmonize reserve requirements across different segments of demand deposits. In certain cases, these requirements may be met through holdings of Government Treasuries.

**PUBLIC SECTOR FINANCES** 

During the eight-month period ended August 31, 2025, the primary fiscal result increased to a surplus of Ps.11.0 billion from a surplus of Ps.8.8 billion for the same period in 2024. Total revenues increased by 46.6% to Ps.88.1 billion from Ps.60.1 billion, while primary expenditures (excluding interest payments) increased by 50.3% to Ps.77.1 billion from Ps.51.3 billion.

------

**Tax Revenues** 

***Composition of Tax Revenues***

During the eight-month period ended August 31, 2025, tax revenues totaled Ps.81.5 billion, equivalent to a 47.8% annual increase, mainly due to an increase in social security contributions,VAT revenues, income tax and taxes on financial transactions.

On January 3, 2025, the Government suspended the 20% tax applicable on purchases of automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles and recreational boats from February 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026.

On March 31, 2025, the Government reduced tariffs on footwear (from 35% to 20%), fabrics (from 26% to 18%) and yarn (from 18% to 16%).

On May 7, 2025, the Government eliminated the export rights, which ranked between 3% and 4.5%, for 88% manufactured products, including agroparts, casting products, machinery and equipment, optics, glass, automobile parts, farmacy products, among others. The measure's objective was to boost local industrial competitivity and exports, benefitting approximately 40% of exporting companies.

On May 13, 2025, the Government announced a two-stage elimination of import tariffs on cell phones: (i) starting on May 13, 2025, the tariffs were lowered from 16% to 8%, and (ii) starting on January 15, 2026, the tariffs are scheduled to be reduced to 0%. In addition, internal taxes on imports of cell phones, televisions and air conditioners were reduced from 19% to 5.5%, and tariffs on items produced in the province of Tierra del Fuego were reduced from 9.5% to 0%. Further, tariffs on imports of video game consoles were reduced from 35% to 20%.

On May 22, 2025, the Government announced specific measures to ease restrictions on the use of savings by individuals and businesses, including a reduction in compensatory and penalty rates on taxes and customs obligations.

In addition, on May 22, 2025, the Government launched the *Plan de Reparación Histórica de los Ahorros de los Argentinos* (Historic Repair Plan for Argentine Savings), allowing individuals to spend up to Ps.50 million per month on non-registerable goods without having to notify ARCA. Moreover, the plan is expected to simplify the income tax system and update the mechanics to calculate an individual's income tax.

On June 27, 2025, the Government extended the term of the reduction on exports of wheat, barley and their derivatives until March 31, 2026. Additionally, it expanded the term to settle foreign currency transactions from 15 to 30 business days.

On July 29, 2025, the Ministry of Economy announced a reduction in tariffs on capital goods imports from 35% to 12.6%, resulting in lower costs for purchasing machinery and equipment. Further, the Government announced a permanent reduction in withholding taxes on agricultural products, including (i) poultry and beef (from 6.75% to 5%), (ii) corn (from 12% to 9.3%), (iii) sorghum (from 12% to 9.3%), (iv) sunflower (from 7.5% and 5% to 5.5% and 4%), (v) soybeans (from 33% to 26%) and (vi) soybean by-products (from 31% to 24.5%). The measure resulted in a permanent reduction in net withholdings of 20% for the grain chain and a 26% reduction for the livestock and meat chain.

**Social Security** 

***Retiree Programs***

On March 23, 2025, the *Plan de Pago de Deuda Previsional* (Pension Debt Payment Plan) expired. The plan gave the possibility to individuals within the retirement age who had not reached the required 30 years of contributions, to regularize their pension debt and access retirement status. As a result of the plan's expiration, individuals will now be eligible for retirement only under the *Pensión Universal Para Adultos Mayores* (Universal Pension for Elders) from 65 years of age onwards.

In October 2025, pensions and allowances are expected to increase by 1.88%, with the minimum pension reaching Ps.396,298.38 per month. Retirement and pension benefits that do not exceed Ps.396,298.38 will receive a bonus proportional to the amount that is needed for them to reach the minimum monthly pension.

**PUBLIC SECTOR DEBT** 

***Overview***

As of August 31, 2025, gross public debt totaled U.S.$454.2 billion, a decrease of 2.7% compared to December 31, 2024, of which 0.02% (U.S.$106 million) was non-performing (excluding Untendered Debt). CER-indexed linked debt and local currency-denominated debt accounted for 44.3% of the total performing gross public debt, while foreign currency-denominated debt accounted for 55.7%.

------

As of August 31, 2025, the stock of short-term bills (Ledes, Lecer and Lecap) amounted to U.S.$34.6 billion –which include accrued capitalization– compared to U.S.$28.5 billion as of December 31, 2024.

**Debt Owed to Financial Institutions** 

***IMF***

In April and August 2025, the IMF completed the first and second disbursements under the Extended Fund Facility ("EFF") for a total aggregate amount of U.S.$12 billion and U.S.$2 billion, respectively, which were used by the Government to repurchase non-transferable bills from the Central Bank.

***The Settlement***

As of October 15, 2025, agreements in principle have been executed with holders of approximately 87% of the nominal amount of Untendered Debt outstanding as of December 31, 2015 (including in the calculation claims that the Republic considers time-barred and for which no agreements have been entered into).

As of October 15, 2025, payments to settling creditors had resulted in the dismissal of claims in the United States for an aggregate nominal amount of approximately U.S.$3.6 billion, plus interest, and the discharge of judgments in the amount of approximately U.S.$5.5 billion. Additional claimants in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (the "New York District Court") have entered into settlement agreements, upon payment of the amounts contemplated in such settlements, the claims are to be dismissed.

As of October 15, 2025, the Republic has settled with holders of German law governed bonds for a nominal amount of €750.1 million.

***Individual litigation in the United States***

As of October 15, 2025, 29 complaints involving bonds defaulted in 2001 with an alleged nominal amount of approximately U.S.$249.9 million were pending in court. In these actions, judgments for a total value of approximately U.S.$408.9 million have been entered involving bonds with a nominal amount of approximately U.S.$209.5 million. Argentina will seek to resolve these claims via a negotiated settlement.

In the case in which the plaintiff received a judgment in December 2020 for $95.4 million, on June 30, 2025, the New York District Court granted the plaintiff's motion for turnover and ordered the Republic to transfer its Class A and D shares to a global custody account at the Bank of New York Mellon by July 14, 2025 ("Turnover Order"). The Republic sought a stay of the Turnover Order pending appeal, which was denied by the New York District Court on July 14, 2024 but granted by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals (the "Second Circuit") on August 15, 2025. The stay is now in effect pending resolution of the Republic's appeal of the Turnover Order. In the Turnover Order appeal proceedings before the Second Circuit, on September 25, 2025, the Republic filed its opening brief. On September 30, 2025, the Second Circuit granted the plaintiff's motion to expedite the appeal, setting the due date for the plaintiff's opposition as November 14, 2025 and the due date for the Republic's reply as December 12, 2025.

------

In the June 2021 case in which a group of plaintiffs obtained attachment and turnover of the Republic's so-called reversionary interest in any excess collateral for the Republic's secured Brady bonds, on January 29, 2025, plaintiffs filed an application for a writ of execution. In March 2025, approximately $209.8 million was turned over to plaintiffs in partial satisfaction of their judgments. On July 3, 2025 the same plaintiffs filed "me-too" turnover motions mirroring those that resulted in the Turnover Order. Pursuant to a stipulation entered among the parties, on August 20, 2025 the New York District Court stayed briefing and further proceedings on plaintiffs' me-too motions until the resolution of the ongoing appeal of the Turnover Order.

***GDP warrant litigation***

In the appeal filed on April 29, 2024, appellants filed their reply brief on January 10, 2025. The Republic filed its reply brief on January 31, 2025. Oral argument took place on June 9, 2025. On July 16, 2025, the Second Circuit entered a summary order and judgment affirming the New York District Court's order of March 31, 2024, resulting in dismissal of the case.

In the action filed in September 2024, the Republic filed its motion to dismiss on January 27, 2025. On February 24, 2025, the New York District Court entered a joint stipulation and order to dismiss the complaint without prejudice.

In the action filed in December 2023, plaintiffs filed their opposition to the Republic's motion to dismiss on March 17, 2025, and the Republic filed its reply on April 29, 2025. On September 29, 2025, the New York District Court ruled on the Republic's motion to dismiss, granting it with respect to the individual holders' claims and the trustee's claims for reference years 2014 to 2016 and bad faith and prevention doctrine, and denying it in relation to the trustee's claims regarding the Republic's payment obligation. The Republic's answer is due November 12, 2025.

On June 23, 2025, plaintiffs in the GDP-linked warrant litigation in the United Kingdom filed an action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the "D.C. District Court") seeking to enforce the final money judgment obtained in that litigation. In accordance with an order issued by the High Court of England on July 25, 2025, the outstanding amount was approximately €1.5 billion as of June 30, 2025.

***Litigation in Germany***

As of October 15, 2025, final judgments entered for a total amount of approximately €121.3 million in principal plus interest and costs in suits on Untendered Debt brought against Argentina in Germany remain unsettled, while claims seeking approximately €2.6 million in principal on defaulted debt, plus interest, have been filed in Germany although no final judgment has yet been rendered.

***Litigation in Spain***

As of October 15, 2025, three plaintiffs have brought enforcement actions against the Republic in Spain. The total amount sought to be enforced against the Republic across those three cases is approximately €452 million. All three cases are currently being briefed. 

***ICSID Arbitration***

As of October 15, 2025, there were (i) six final outstanding ICSID awards against Argentina totaling U.S.$810.8 million, (ii) two ICSID award against Argentina for U.S.$737.6 million pending annulment requested by Argentina, (iii) one non-final ICSID award against Argentina for U.S.$77.9, and (iv) four ongoing ICSID proceedings against Argentina, with claims totaling U.S.$612.8 million. All amounts are approximate and refer to principal, excluding interest and costs.

In the August 24, 2021 action seeking enforcement of an ICSID award in the D.C. District Court, the Republic filed its opening appeal brief on April 15, 2025, which was followed by Appellee's brief on May 15, 2025 and the Republic's reply brief on June 5, 2025. Oral argument before the D.C. Circuit is set for October 30, 2025.

In the December 23, 2022 action to recognize and enforce the same ICSID award at the Madrid Civil Court No. 2, plaintiff is currently pursuing asset discovery.

In the September 20, 2021 action to enforce an ICSID award in the D.C. District Court, plaintiff moved on January 8, 2025 for judgment on the pleadings to confirm its arbitral award, or in the alternative, summary judgment. On April 4, 2025, the D.C. District Court entered judgment in favor of plaintiff in the sum of approximately U.S.$21.3 million, plus interest. The Republic filed its notice of appeal on May 2, 2025. On June 2, 2025, the parties filed a joint motion to hold the proceedings in abeyance pending resolution of the appeal in the aforementioned ICSID award enforcement case filed on August 24, 2021. The court granted this motion on June 10, 2025.

------

With regards to the December 7, 2021 action to enforce an ICSID award in Argentine courts, in September 2025, the Republic made payment of the June 13, 2023 judgment into the court account in the case file.

On May 20, 2025, the Republic was served notice that the High Court of England had issued a registration order on January 14, 2025, granting certain claimants leave to register an ICSID award for the purposes of enforcement. The claimants currently claim U.S.$225.7 million plus interest and costs. On August 1, 2025, the Republic applied to set aside the registration order. On August 22, 2025, the High Court of England issued an order to stay the proceedings pending judgment by the U.K. Supreme Court in two separate appeals to determine an issue that is material to the Republic's set aside action. The stay will last until 30 days after the U.K. Supreme Court's judgment in the appeals is handed down.

***Other Arbitration***

As of October 15, 2025, there were (i) two final outstanding UNCITRAL awards against Argentina totaling U.S.$7.5 million, (ii) one ICC award for U.S.$67.1 million against Argentina and one UNCITRAL award for U.S.$9.7 million against Argentina pending annulment requested by Argentina, and (iii) four suspended ICC proceedings with claims totaling U.S.$617.2 million.

The remaining developments are the same as in Turnover Order proceedings discussed above. The Second Circuit has ordered the ongoing appeals regarding the Turnover Order across cases to proceed in tandem.

Oral argument before the Second Circuit regarding the Republic's appeal of the Petersen and Eton Park Entities' September 15, 2023 judgment is set for October 29, 2025.

**PRESENTATION OF STATISTICAL AND OTHER INFORMATION** 

All annual information presented in this Annual Report is based upon January 1 to December 31 periods, unless otherwise indicated. Totals in some tables in this Annual Report may differ from the sum of the individual items in those tables due to rounding.

Unless otherwise stated, prices and figures are stated in current values of the currency presented, and references in this Annual Report to "pesos," "Ps." and "ARP" are to Argentine pesos, references to "U.S. dollars" and "U.S.$" are to the currency of the United States of America, references to "euros," "€" and "EUR" are to the currency of the European Union, references to "CHF" are to Swiss francs and references to "JPY" are to Japanese yens.

Information in this Annual Report that is identified as being derived from a publication of the Republic or one of its respective agencies or instrumentalities is included as public official statements made on the authority of the Republic. Certain statistical information included in this Annual Report is preliminary and is subject to change, completion or amendment.

**National Public Accounts** 

Historically, transfers from the Central Bank and the FGS to the Government were recorded as current fiscal revenue under "other non-tax revenue." Starting in 2016 (and on a pro forma basis for 2015), the Government classifies income generated by the Central Bank and the FGS as financial revenue that does not form part of the calculation of the primary fiscal balance. See "Public Sector Finances—Introduction."

**Certain Methodologies** 

*CER* and *CVS.* Certain data included in this Annual Report has been adjusted for inflation based on the *Coeficiente de Estabilización de Referencia* (Stabilization Coefficient, or "CER"), or the *Coeficiente de Variación Salarial* ("CVS"). CERs are units of account whose value in pesos is indexed to the CPI designated to be used by the Government. The nominal amount of a CER-based financial instrument is converted to a CER-adjusted amount and interest on the financial instrument is calculated on the CER-adjusted balance. CVSs are units of account whose value in pesos is determined based on changes in an index of public and private sector wages. The nominal amount of a CVS-based financial instrument is converted to a CVS-adjusted amount and interest on the financial instrument is calculated on the CVS-adjusted balance. Adjustments and payments on the Republic's debt indexed to the CER and CVS are not subject to restatement or revision.

*Exports.* Exports are calculated based upon (i) for purposes of foreign trade, statistics reported to Argentine customs upon departure of goods from Argentina on a FOB basis and (ii) for purposes of the balance of payments accounts, statistics collected on a FOB basis.

*Imports.* Imports are calculated based upon (i) for purposes of foreign trade, statistics reported to Argentine customs upon entry of goods into Argentina on a cost, insurance and freight included basis ("CIF basis") and (ii) for purposes of the balance of payments accounts, statistics collected on a free on board ("FOB basis") at a given departure location.

*Inflation.* The rate of inflation or inflation rate provides an aggregate measure of the rate of change in the prices of goods and services in the economy. The inflation rate is generally measured by the rate of change in the CPI between two periods unless otherwise specified. The annual percentage rate of change in the CPI as of a particular date is calculated by comparing the index as of that date against the index as of the date twelve months prior. The CPI in Argentina is calculated by INDEC.

*Underemployment rate*. Underemployment rate represents the percentage of Argentina's labor force that has worked fewer than 35 hours during the week preceding the date of measurement and seeks to work more.

*Unemployment rate*. Unemployment rate represents the percentage of Argentina's labor force that has not worked a minimum of one hour with remuneration or 15 hours without remuneration during the week preceding the date of measurement. The "labor force" refers to the sum of the population in major urban centers across Argentina that has worked a minimum of one hour with remuneration or 15 hours without remuneration during the week preceding the date of measurement plus the population that is unemployed but actively seeking employment.

*Balance of Payments.* Since 2017, balance of payments statistics are prepared based on the classification criteria set forth in the sixth edition of the Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). See "Balance of Payments—Overview."

**FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS** 

This Annual Report contains forward looking statements. Forward looking statements are statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the Republic's current beliefs, estimates, expectations and projections, including those reflected in the budget bills submitted to Congress. While these forward-looking statements might have been reasonable when formulated, they are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the potential effects of current events that are not reasonably foreseeable or known at this time, and could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statements. Accordingly, the Republic gives no assurance that actual events will not differ materially from the information included in this Annual Report. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. The Republic undertakes no obligation to update any of them in light of new information or future events.

Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. The information contained in this Annual Report identifies important factors that could cause such differences. Such factors include, but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adverse domestic factors, such as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increases in inflation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increases in domestic interest rates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• national or international public health events, including the outbreak of pandemics or contagious diseases, and
the potential impact on the economy and the government finances; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• exchange rate volatility, any of which could lead to lower economic growth or a decrease in Argentina's
international reserves;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adverse external factors, such as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• declines in foreign investment, which could deprive the Argentine economy of capital needed for economic growth;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in international prices (including commodity prices) and high international interest rates, either of
which could increase Argentina's current account deficit and budgetary expenses; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• recession or low economic growth in Argentina's trading partners, which could decrease exports from
Argentina and the country's international competitiveness, induce a contraction of the Argentine economy and, indirectly, reduce tax revenues and other public sector revenues and adversely affect the country's fiscal accounts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• other adverse factors, such as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• climatic events;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the outbreak of military hostilities, including the military conflict involving Russia and Ukraine, the conflict
in Gaza and disruptions to shipping operations in the Red Sea, and political uncertainty; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adverse outcomes in ongoing litigation and arbitration proceedings in several jurisdictions that may lead to new
judgments and awards against Argentina.

**THE REPUBLIC OF ARGENTINA** 

**Map of Argentina**![LOGO](g90705dsp27.jpg)

**Territory and Population** 

The Republic of Argentina consists of 23 provinces and the City of Buenos Aires. Located in the southeastern region of South America, Argentina is the second largest country in Latin America and the eighth globally in terms of territory, covering approximately 3.8 million square kilometers (1.5 million square miles), including territorial claims in the Antarctic region (covering approximately 970,000 square kilometers) and to certain south Atlantic islands (covering approximately 5,000 square kilometers), excluding the recently recognized extension by Argentina's sovereign rights in the South Atlantic Ocean. See "—Foreign Affairs and International Organizations—The Malvinas Sovereignty Dispute" and "—Foreign Affairs and International Organizations—Continental Shelf."

The most densely inhabited areas and the main agricultural regions of the country are located on the wide temperate belt that stretches across central Argentina. The country's population as of 2022 was an estimated 45.9 million, based on information from the most recent census conducted on such year. During the period from 2010 to 2022, Argentina's population grew at an estimated average annual rate of 1.1%, based on information from the 2022 census.

------

Based on information from the 2022 census, as of 2022, approximately 30.4% of the population (13.9 million people) lived in the City of Buenos Aires and the heavily populated urban area surrounding the City of Buenos Aires, known as the Greater Buenos Aires Area. As of 2010, approximately 98.1% of the population over the age of 10 and older was literate.

**Government** 

The Argentine Constitution, first adopted in 1853, provides for a tripartite system of government divided into an executive branch headed by the President, a legislative branch consisting of a bicameral Congress, and a judicial branch headed by the Supreme Court of Justice. The Constitution was last amended in 1994. Each province and the City of Buenos Aires has its own constitution and the people of each province elect a governor and legislators who are independent from the Government. The Government may directly intervene in the administration of the provincial governments in certain emergency situations, including, to secure the republican form of government and in the case of foreign invasions.

***Executive Branch***

The president and vice president are directly elected for a four-year term, may serve for a maximum of two consecutive terms and may be re-elected after one term out of office. The president oversees the administration of the country and has the power to veto laws in whole or in part. Congress may override a presidential veto by a two-thirds majority vote in each chamber. The *Jefatura de Gabinete de Ministros* (Office of the Chief of the Cabinet of Ministers) is responsible for the administration of the country and prepares the Government's annual budget, which is subject to congressional approval. The president chooses the chief of the Cabinet of Ministers, who may be removed by the vote of an absolute majority of both houses of Congress. All references in this Annual Report to the "Executive Power" are to the executive branch as described herein.

***Congress***

Congress is composed of the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies.

*The Senate.* There are a total of 72 senate seats, with three for each province and three for the City of Buenos Aires. Of the three senators from each district, two represent the party receiving the most votes in that district, and the third represents the party receiving the second-most votes. Senators are elected by popular vote to serve for six-year terms. Elections are held for one-third of the senate seats every two years. The last Senate elections were held in October 2025.

*The Chamber of Deputies*. The Chamber of Deputies consists of 257 seats, which are allocated in proportion to each district's population. Deputies are elected by popular vote to serve four-year terms. Elections for half of the seats are held every two years. The last elections for seats in the Chamber of Deputies were held in October 2025.

------

***Judicial System***

The judicial system is composed of federal and provincial trial courts, courts of appeal and the Supreme Court of Justice ("Supreme Court") which has up to five justices.

The *Consejo de la Magistratura* ("Judicial Council") consists of an independent panel of lawyers, representatives of the judiciary, legislators, a representative of the executive branch and an academic. This body oversees the administration of the judicial branch, the initiation of impeachment proceedings against judges other than Supreme Court justices and the selection of judges. The *Jurado de Enjuiciamiento* (Jury of Prosecution) decides proceedings initiated by the Judicial Council to remove judges.

The president appoints all Supreme Court justices subject to Senate approval. All federal court judges are also appointed by the president subject to Senate approval, but they must be selected from a list of individuals submitted by the Judicial Council. Supreme Court justices and all federal court judges are subject to a mandatory retirement age of 75. All judicial appointments must be approved by two-thirds of the Senate. Pursuant to a presidential decree, candidates' identities and certain additional information are published, and the executive branch provides for a period of public comment on each nomination before it is submitted to the Senate.

As of the date of this Annual Report, the Supreme Court had three confirmed sitting justices. Mr. Rosatti assumed as Chief Justice on October 1, 2021. Mr. Maqueda has resigned as Supreme Court Justice effective December 29, 2024.

**Recent Political History** 

Argentina has been under uninterrupted civilian rule since 1983, when the last military government came to an end due to poor economic management and the loss of a brief war with the United Kingdom over the *Islas Malvinas*. In 1983, Raúl Alfonsín was elected president. In 1989, Raúl Alfonsín was succeeded as president by Carlos Menem, who was re-elected in 1995 to a four-year term following the 1994 constitutional amendments that reduced the presidential term to four years from six.

After a decade of relative stability, Argentina faced an unprecedented social, economic and political crisis beginning in 2001 and 2002. See "The Argentine Economy—Background and Recent Economic History." During this crisis, Argentina's economy contracted significantly and poverty and unemployment reached record levels. The administration of President Fernando de la Rúa, who took office in December 1999, was unable to restore economic growth and during the second half of 2001, the deepening economic recession fueled rising social unrest.

Ongoing widespread riots and protests forced President de la Rúa and his entire cabinet to resign on December 19 and 20, 2001. Between December 2001 and January 2002, Congress appointed four successive presidents pursuant to the Constitution, including Eduardo Duhalde, who called for elections to be held on April 27, 2003, prior to the scheduled expiration of his term. Néstor Kirchner, former governor of the province of Santa Cruz, was elected and sworn in as president on May 25, 2003. President Kirchner's term expired on December 10, 2007.

On October 28, 2007, Cristina E. Fernández de Kirchner, from the *Frente para la Victoria* (Front for Victory) faction of the Peronist Party and President Kirchner's wife, was elected president. On October 23, 2011, President Fernández de Kirchner was re-elected for a second four-year term, which ended on December 10, 2015.

On November 22, 2015, Mauricio Macri, the candidate from the *Cambiemos* alliance, was elected president for a four-year term, which ended on December 10, 2019.

On October 27, 2019, Mr. Alberto Fernández, the candidate from the *Frente de Todos* coalition, was elected president for a four-year term, which ended on December 10, 2023.

Mr. Javier Milei was elected president in the national presidential elections that took place in Argentina on October 22, 2023, for the first rounds, and November 19, 2023, for the run-off election. Mr. Javier Milei obtained approximately 55.65% of the votes in the run-off and took office on December 11, 2023.

------

**Political Parties** 

The following are Argentina's main national political coalitions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *La Libertad Avanza* (Freedom Moves Forward) *,* a party formed by President Milei for the October 2021
congressional elections.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Union por la Patria* (Union for the Motherland), a coalition of several parties, including primarily:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Partido Justicialista* ("PJ"), or Peronist Party, founded by President Juan D. Perón in
the 1940s, which includes the following factions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Unidad Ciudadana* (Citizen's Union), formerly *Frente para la Victoria* (Front for Victory) and *Frente de Todos* (Front for All); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Frente Renovador (Renewal Front, or* "FR" *),* founded in 2013 as a split-off from the PJ. For the 2015 presidential elections, the FR and the former governor of the province of Córdoba, Juan Manuel de la Sota, formed the *Unidos por una Nueva Alternativa* ("UNA") coalition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Unión Propuesta Republicana* (Republican Proposal Union, or "PRO"), a political alliance
that emerged in Argentina in 2007 composed of the following parties: *Propuesta Republicana* (Republican Proposal) (formerly *Compromiso para el Cambio*), *Unión del Centro Democrático (UCeDé)* (Union of the
Democratic Center), *Recrear para el Crecimiento* (Recreating for Growth), *Partido Federal* (Federal Party), *Unión Celeste y Blanco* (Blue and White Union), *Partido Popular Cristiano Bonaerense* (Christian
People's Party of Buenos Aires) and *Partido Nuevo Buenos Aires* (New Buenos Aires Party).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Unión Cívica Radical* (Radical Civic Union);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Encuentro Federal* (Federal Meeting), formerly *Hacemos Coalición Federal*, which is composed
of *Hacemos por Nuestro País* (We Do For Our Country) (comprised by sectors of the province of Córdoba{s PJ, the *Partido GEN* (GEN Party), the *Partido Socialista* (Socialist Party), among others) and *Cambio Federal* (Federal Change); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Coalición Cívica* (Civic Coalition, or "ARI").

*Juntos por el Cambio*, formerly *Cambiemos*, an alliance formed by the PRO, Radical Civic Union and *Coalición Cívica* (Civic Coalition, or "ARI"), which participated in the 2023 election, split during 2024. This led to a shift in the relationship of political forces in Congress and allowed the ruling party to enter into certain parliamentary agreements with certain sectors of the PRO and the Radical Civic Union to advance its legislative agenda.

In addition, certain provincial political parties, such as *Innovacón Federal* (Federal Innovation) and *Encuentro Federal*, have an important representation in Congress, although they are in a context of parliamentary minority.

On October 22, 2023, presidential and congressional elections took place in Argentina and, in November 19, 2023, there was a run-off presidential election. Mr. Javier Milei obtained approximately 55.65% of the votes in the run-off and took office on December 11, 2023, followed by Sergio Massa (*Frente de Todos*), who obtained 44.35% of the votes. In the congressional elections, candidates of *Unión Por la Patria* lost 13 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and two seats in the Senate, *La Libertad Avanza* obtained seven additional seats in the Chamber of Deputies and seven additional seats in the Senate, *Juntos por el Cambio* (formerly *Cambiemos*) lost 23 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and nine seats in the Senate, and the rest of the political parties saw no variation in their Chamber of Deputies participation, while they obtained four additional seats in the Senate.

The Milei administration assumed office without a majority in either house of Congress and, therefore, has been operating by building consensus with other political parties. Since taking office in December 2023, the Milei administration has relied on the use of the Executive branch's legislative powers, such as legislative vetoes and executive decrees, to further its objective of reducing the public sector deficit, including in matters relating to the pension system and the education budget, among others.

***G-20***

Argentina has been a member of the G-20, an informal forum that promotes discussion between developed and emerging-market countries on key issues related to the global economy, since it was established in 1999. The G-20 is a key forum for international economic cooperation among its members.

------

***Bilateral Investment Treaties ("BITs")***

Argentina is a party to 49 BITs currently in force and to a trade agreement with Chile, which includes an investment chapter with an investor-state dispute settlement mechanism. Following the 2001/2002 crisis and the underlying measures adopted by the Government to address the crisis, several arbitration proceedings have been brought by investors against Argentina before the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes ("ICSID"), in accordance with ICSID Arbitration Rules and UNCITRAL Rules, and before the Permanent Court of Arbitration, under various BITs. As of the date of this Annual Report, most of these cases had either been decided or settled. See "Public Sector Debt—Legal Proceedings—ICSID Arbitration" and "—Other Arbitration."

***The Financial Stability Board***

The Financial Stability Board ("FSB") is an international body that monitors and makes recommendations about the global financial system. The FSB seeks to strengthen financial systems and increase the stability of international financial markets; it does so by coordinating with its members' national financial authorities and international standard-setting bodies as they work toward developing strong regulatory, supervisory and other financial sector policies to promote international financial stability. The FSB aims to foster a level playing field by encouraging consistent implementation of these policies across sectors and jurisdictions. Argentina has been a member of the FSB since its creation in 2009, represented by the Central Bank.

***G-24***

Argentina has been a member of the Group of Twenty-Four since the Intergovernmental Group of Twenty-Four on International Monetary Affairs and Development (G-24) was established in 1971. The purpose of the group is to coordinate the position of developing countries on monetary and development issues, particularly issues on the agendas of the IMF Committee and the Development Committee, and to ensure increased representation and participation of developing countries in negotiations on international monetary system reform.

***NATO***

On April 18, 2024, the Republic formally requested to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ("NATO") as a global partner. If granted, this status would provide the Republic with enhanced political and security cooperation with NATO members and access to NATO's expertise in areas such as defense capacity, training and education, without requiring that the Republic participates in collective military actions.

***MERCOSUR***

Argentina is a founding member of the Southern Common Market ("MERCOSUR"), established in March 1991 with Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay as full members or the "Member States" under the Asunción Treaty. In July 2012, Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay admitted the Republic of Venezuela as a full member of MERCOSUR, and in December 2013, Paraguay acknowledged Venezuela's status as a full member. On December 2, 2016, Venezuela's status as a full member was temporarily suspended by the other Member States, after it was considered to have failed to implement MERCOSUR regulations in the established four-year period, in accordance with the undertakings assumed in 2012 in connection with its admission to MERCOSUR. On August 5, 2017, the founding members suspended Venezuela in furtherance of MERCOSUR's democratic clause (Ushuaia Protocol). On August 7, 2024, the Protocol of Accession of Bolivia to MERCOSUR became effective, making it a "member State" and providing the country with a four-year period to gradually adopt MERCOSUR's regulations. Bolivia's participation in the institutional structure of MERCOSUR will be gradual, following the principle of equal rights and obligations. Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Panama, Peru and Suriname are "Associate States" of MERCOSUR.

Under the Asunción Treaty, the founding members of MERCOSUR pledged:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) to establish a common market with free movement of goods, services and factors of production by eliminating or
significantly reducing, in some cases over a period of years, import duties, tariffs and other barriers to trade among members;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) to establish common external tariffs for trade with non-members, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) to adopt a common trade policy towards third countries and blocs.

With the aim of transforming the region into a customs union, in December 1994, the founding members of MERCOSUR agreed to implement a common external tariff ("CET"). The CET regime took effect on January 1, 1995 and consists of 17 tariff levels as of the date of this Annual Report. In 2022, the structure and categories of the CET were updated. However, through special import regimes such as the NLE and the regimes for capital goods ("BK") and information technology and telecommunications goods ("BIT"), each Member State may temporarily exclude certain products from the CET and apply differentiated tariff levels. In 2021, the NLE, BK and BIT regimes were extended until 2030. On July 20, 2022, MERCOSUR members agreed to reduce the CET for certain goods by 10%.

------

MERCOSUR Member States have not yet fully harmonized technical regulations as well as national trade regimes in order to advance in a policy of no border controls.

MERCOSUR has created regional bodies and institutions that aim to further develop the integration process between its members, encompassing several areas such as, energy, transport, communications, education, health, social development, justice, science and technology. MERCOSUR residents also benefit from special residency and work permit regimes within the territory of members of the bloc and associated states.

In December 2019, MERCOSUR members entered into a "Trade Facilitation Agreement" to streamline and simplify intra-regional trade and level the playing field conditions regarding products originating outside of MERCOSUR. Brazil ratified the agreement in October 2024. Argentina's Congress approved the Trade Facilitation Agreement in October 2024. As of the date of this Annual Report, ratification remains pending.

On December 7, 2023, MERCOSUR and Singapore signed a free trade agreement. As of the date of this Annual Report, ratification by Congress of such agreement remained pending. On December 6, 2024, (i) MERCOSUR concluded negotiations for an association agreement with the European Union, including a free trade area and commitments in political dialogue and cooperation and (ii) MERCOSUR and Panama signed an economic partnership agreement, with the aim of establishing a free trade area. On September 16, 2025, MERCOSUR signed a comprehensive free trade agreement with the EFTA States. As of the date of this Annual Report, Congress's ratification of such agreement remained pending.

As of the date of this Annual Report, MERCOSUR has started negotiations with Canada to enter into a free trade agreement. Simultaneously, MERCOSUR has engaged in informal talks with India with the aim of updating the existing agreement. MERCOSUR has also started negotiations with the United Arab Emirates and El Salvador. Moreover, discussions have started with the Dominican Republic, Vietnam and Indonesia, in order to define the terms to launch possible negotiations.

For recent information on MERCOSUR, see "Recent Developments—Foreign Affairs and International Organizations—MERCOSUR."

***BRIC's Bloc***

On June 1, 2023, the President of the New Development Bank formally informed the Minister of Economy that the BRIC's Board is willing to evaluate the integration of several countries as new members, including Argentina. In August 2023, the BRIC's Board agreed to invite Argentina to join the bloc. In December 2023, the Government formally informed that, at this instance, the incorporation of the Republic as a full member of the BRIC block as of January 1, 2024, was not considered appropriate.

***Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank***

In June 2017, Argentina applied to become a member of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank ("AIIB"), which has as its purpose financing energy, transport and telecommunications projects involving its members. The subscription of Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank's shares was approved by Congress in November 2020 and Argentina was admitted as a non-regional member on March 30, 2021. As of the date of this Annual Report, Argentina was not negotiating any financing projects as an AIIB member.

***United States Military Financing***

On April 18, 2024, the U.S. Government announced a U.S.$40 million foreign military financing grant to Argentina, aimed at enabling key U.S. allies to purchase U.S. weaponry and supporting the Republic in equipping and modernizing its military forces, through the purchase of F-16 supersonic fighter jets.

***Agreements with China***

In February 2022, the Republic and China entered into a memorandum of understanding within the framework of the Silk Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road Initiative. The Belt and Road Initiative aims to boost cooperation and connectivity between countries through both land and oceanic routes. The initiative seeks to develop a platform to stimulate trade and investment, market integration and economic cooperation between regions. In the medium term, this memorandum intends to boost bilateral trade in goods and services, and increase investments for the productive sector and for the development of technological capabilities.

------

In addition to the memorandum on the Silk Belt and Road Initiative, the Republic and China entered into thirteen different inter-institutional cooperation documents relating to different matters, including green development, digital economy, space development, technology and innovation, education and university cooperation, agriculture, earth sciences, public media and nuclear energy.

In June 2023, the "Cooperation Plan for the joint promotion of the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road" was signed. In October 2023, the Republic and China entered into a memorandum of understanding for the establishment of a working group for the joint promotion of the Silk Belt and Road Initiative and the implementation of the cooperation agreement.

Pursuant to the memorandum, the financing for strategic infrastructure projects in Argentina will consist of two tranches: one for projects agreed upon during the fifth meeting of the Strategic Dialogue for Economic Cooperation and Coordination (DECCE) held in January 2022, which has already been approved and a second tranche for projects included in the Priority Projects and Tasks of the Belt and Road Initiative Cooperation Plan, signed on June 2, 2023.

In October 2024, the "Agreement between the Argentine Republic and the People's Republic of China for the Elimination of Double Taxation with Respect to Income and Wealth Taxes and the Prevention of Tax Evasion and Avoidance and its Protocol," signed in Buenos Aires on December 2, 2018, was officially approved by law.

***The Question of the Malvinas Islands***

After taking office in December 2023, the Milei administration reaffirmed Argentina's constitutional mandate for the recovery of the full exercise of sovereignty over the Malvinas, South Georgias and South Sandwich Islands and the surrounding maritime areas by peaceful means and respecting the way of life of the islands' inhabitants.

The Republic reaffirms its legitimate sovereignty rights over the Malvinas, South Georgias and South Sandwich Islands and the surrounding maritime areas, which are an integral part of its national territory and are under illegitimate British occupation since 1833.

The United Nations has recognized the existence of a sovereignty dispute between the Republic and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland regarding the "Question of the Malvinas Islands" through General Assembly resolution 2065 (XX) and subsequent resolutions, which call upon both parties to solve the dispute through direct negotiations in order to reach a peaceful solution to the problem. The Question of the Malvinas Islands has been defined by the UN as a special and particular colonial situation which differs from most others, where the principle of self-determination does not apply nor has ever been recognized to be applicable by any of the UN resolutions on the matter. Furthermore, many regional and international organizations have reiterated the importance of Argentina and the United Kingdom complying with the provisions of Resolution 31/49 of the General Assembly, which reiterates its requests to the Governments of Argentina and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to expedite the negotiations concerning the dispute over sovereignty and calls upon both parties to refrain from taking decisions that would imply introducing unilateral modifications into the situation while the condition of the islands is the subject of the negotiations.

The Republic has shown a constructive stance and willingness to achieve, through negotiations, a peaceful and definitive solution to this anachronistic colonial situation. As of the date of this Annual Report, the United Kingdom had not accepted to resume negotiations towards a peaceful resolution of the sovereignty dispute.

***Continental Shelf***

The Republic conducted in-depth and thorough scientific and technical tasks, which allowed it to determine the outer limit of its continental shelf. This work provides certainty about the geographical extent of its sovereign rights over the resources in the seabed and subsoil along more than 1,785,000 km2 of Argentine continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles, which are added to the approximately 4,898,000 km2 located between the baselines and the 200 nautical miles.

On March 11, 2016 and on March 17, 2017, the CLCS adopted by consensus the recommendations on the Argentine submission regarding the outer limit of its continental shelf, which comprises the seabed and subsoil of the submarine areas that extend beyond the territorial sea throughout the natural extension of the Argentine territory.

The CLCS recommendations have not been contested by any country. With regard to the continental shelf of the Malvinas, South Georgias and South Sandwich Islands, the CLCS –in accordance with Annex I of its Rules of Procedure– postponed its analysis of the limit of the continental shelf submitted by the Republic in such area until the sovereignty dispute has been resolved. The CLCS has also postponed the consideration of the Antarctic continental shelf, taking into account the special territorial status set forth by the Antarctic Treaty dated December 1, 1951 (as amended), to which Argentina is a party.

------

By not pronouncing itself on the area surrounding the Malvinas, South Georgias and South Sandwich Islands, the Commission acknowledged the existence of a sovereignty dispute between Argentina and the United Kingdom.

On August 4, 2020, Congress unanimously enacted legislation delimiting the outer limit of the Argentine continental shelf on the basis of the recommendations of the CLCS and on the basis of the Republic's submission before the CLCS. The CLCS recommendations and Argentina's affirmation of rights over the continental shelf are expected to have a beneficial economic impact insofar as, according to Article 77 of the UNCLOS, the coastal state has sovereign rights over the continental shelf with respect to exploration and exploitation of natural resources of the seabed and subsoil.

**THE ARGENTINE ECONOMY** 

**Background and Recent Economic History** 

***Background***

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Argentina enjoyed a period of great prosperity, with per capita GDP rising to the level of many Western European countries. During this period of growth, Argentina's economy relied heavily on sustained international demand for its agricultural commodity exports.

The onset of the Great Depression and World War II, however, brought dramatic changes in the Argentine economy as a decline in world trade deprived the country of its main source of revenue. The Government responded to these developments with a major shift in economic policy, adopting a model of state-led capitalism and import-substitution, and increasing state intervention in the economy.

Beginning in the 1940s, the Government nationalized many basic industries and services and raised import barriers in a bid to make Argentina self-sufficient in industry and agriculture and to shelter its economy from foreign competition. Government involvement in sectors ranging from oil and electricity to telecommunications and financial services became significant.

Although in the 1950s a new era of worldwide prosperity began, the Government's role in the economy remained significant and Argentina experienced relatively low growth in comparison with other developing countries.

Although manufacturing had become the largest component of the economy by the mid-1970s, the country's exports continued to be dominated by agricultural products. During this period, the Argentine economy grew continuously at substandard levels.

In 1976, the de facto Government began to shift away from the import-substitution model, lowering import barriers and liberalizing restrictions on foreign borrowings. The adoption of a crawling-peg exchange rate regime by the Central Bank induced appreciation of the peso and incurrence of external indebtedness by the public and private sectors between 1977 and 1981.

From 1981 through 1990, economic growth was undermined by political instability, large subsidies of state-owned enterprises, high inflation, periodic depreciations of the currency, an inefficient tax collection system, and inefficient production. The average annual real GDP contraction for this period was 0.7%. The Government financed its fiscal deficits during this period primarily through Central Bank credit and loans from foreign bilateral and multilateral creditors. The increase in Central Bank credit to the Government resulted in unchecked increases in the money supply that led to high levels of inflation. From 1981 through 1990, average annual inflation was 876.0%. Additionally, in 1982 the Government defaulted on its external debt.

During the 1980s, the Government adopted several economic plans in an effort to stabilize the economy. While these plans achieved some initial success, they ultimately failed to increase productivity and competitiveness in the economy. These factors, combined with high levels of inflation, frequent changes in Government policy and financial market instability, prevented the Argentine economy from achieving real growth.

*Liberalization of the Economy.* In mid-1989, the second democratically elected government since the restoration of democracy in 1983, led by President Menem, inherited an economy suffering from hyperinflation and in deep recession. Relations with external creditors were strained, commercial bank debts had been subjected to two restructurings and were again accumulating past-due interest, IMF and World Bank programs had lapsed and payments to the World Bank and the IADB were frequently late. The immediate objectives of the Menem administration were to stabilize prices and improve relations with external creditors.

Following several unsuccessful efforts to stabilize the economy and end hyperinflation, the Menem administration adopted an economic program that sought to liberalize the economy and impose monetary discipline. The new economic program, which came to be known as the Convertibility Regime, was anchored on the Convertibility Law of 1991 and related measures. Its principal features were the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a fixed exchange rate regime that pegged the peso to the U.S. dollar and tied the monetary base to international
reserves, limiting the Central Bank's monetary policy tools;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• privatization, deregulation and trade liberalization programs; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the improvement of relations with external creditors (including by refinancing a substantial portion of the
Government's debt with private creditors through the Brady restructuring in 1992).

The Convertibility Regime and the Government's free-market initiatives temporarily achieved price stability, increased the efficiency and productivity of the Argentine economy and attracted significant foreign investment. Real GDP grew 9.1% in 1991 and 7.9% in 1992. From 1993 through 1998, real GDP grew at an average annual rate of 4.8%, despite a 2.8% contraction in 1995 largely attributable to the capital flight triggered by the Mexican financial crisis of 1994.

------

The Convertibility Regime, however, had significant shortcomings, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Inflexible monetary policy. By stripping the Central Bank of its monetary discretion, the Convertibility Regime
limited the use of monetary policy to stimulate the economy in response to downturns in economic activity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Dependence on foreign capital. Any sharp reduction of foreign capital inflows, often triggered by factors beyond
the Government's control, threatened untimely contractions of the money supply. Argentina's dependence on foreign capital was heightened by the opening of the Argentine economy to foreign trade, which resulted in significant trade
deficits, and by the Government's recurring fiscal deficits, which were heavily financed with foreign capital.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Vulnerability to external shocks. The dependence on foreign capital, coupled with the lifting of state controls
on capital flows, made the Argentine economy vulnerable to external shocks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Over-reliance on certain economic sectors. As a result of the real appreciation of the peso and the peso's
peg to the U.S. dollar, economic growth during this period was driven by the services sector, and in particular the financial and public services sectors, with production-based manufacturing and industrial sectors lagging behind. In addition,
any contribution from the agricultural sector from increased volume of production was offset by declining international commodity prices.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Rising unemployment. Despite economic growth, the relative slow growth in labor intensive sectors such as
construction and manufacturing increased unemployment levels.

The shortcomings of the Convertibility Regime became evident during the economic downturn triggered by the Mexican financial crisis of 1994. The collapse of Mexico's crawling-peg exchange rate undermined investors' confidence in emerging markets and raised doubts about the sustainability of the Convertibility Regime. This loss of confidence triggered a sharp reduction in net capital inflows, which turned into net capital outflows in 1995, causing a liquidity crisis in the Argentine banking system. As a result, Argentina experienced its first economic contraction since the Convertibility Regime had been implemented.

Following the Mexican crisis, Argentina's economy resumed the levels of growth it had recorded in the first half of the 1990s. From 1996 through 1998, GDP increased at an annual average rate of 5.8%. However, the Government relied heavily on borrowings, first from external sources and ultimately from the local banking system and the newly-organized private pension funds, to finance the deficit. Beginning in the last quarter of 1997, external factors, including regional financial crises in Asia and Russia, rising U.S. interest rates and falling commodity prices, caused the capital flows to turn negative, economic activity to decline sharply, ultimately precipitating the economic crisis of 2001.

***The Crisis and Beginning of Recovery: 2001 and 2002***

During the last six months of 2001, the growing perception that a devaluation of the peso was imminent triggered a massive run on bank deposits and a significant acceleration of capital flight from the Argentine economy. Total deposits in the Argentine banking system fell by 20.3% in the last six months of 2001 and the Central Bank's international reserves fell by 42.1% in the same period.

In a last bid to safeguard the Convertibility Regime and avert the collapse of the banking sector, in December 2001, the Government imposed strict per-person, per-month limits on bank withdrawals (known as the *corralito*), effectively limiting the ability of depositors to withdraw approximately U.S.$60 billion in peso and dollar demand deposits from the financial system. It also imposed strict foreign exchange restrictions in Argentina. Shortly thereafter, the Government announced that it would defer interest and principal payments on a substantial portion of the Government's debt.

Massive social unrest led to the early resignation of President de la Rúa's administration and triggered a political crisis that culminated with the designation of Mr. Eduardo Duhalde as president in January 2002. Congress passed the Public Emergency and Reform Law of 2002 (the "Public Emergency Law") which formally terminated the parity between the peso and the U.S. dollar and brought the Convertibility Regime to an end. Through the enactment of the Public Emergency Law and a series of decrees, the Duhalde administration took the following measures:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ratified the suspension of payments of Argentina's sovereign debt except for debt with multilateral credit
agencies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• eliminated the dual exchange rate system adopted immediately following the end of the Convertibility Regime and
replaced it with a single exchange rate that allowed the value of the peso to float against other currencies, resulting in a 240.1% increase in the U.S. dollar-peso exchange rate in 2002;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ordered the "asymmetric" conversion into pesos (known as "pesification") of certain U.S.
dollar-denominated assets and liabilities at the following exchange rates: Ps.1.00 per U.S.$1.00 for private sector debt (individual and corporate U.S. dollar-denominated debt) with financial institutions and other creditors, Ps.1.40 per
U.S.$1.00 for all U.S. dollar-denominated public sector debt instruments in the portfolios of national and provincial financial institutions' portfolios and Ps.1.40 per U.S.$1.00 for all U.S. dollar-denominated bank deposits;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• amended the charter of the Central Bank to allow it to print currency, make certain short-term advances to the
Government and act as a lender of last resort to financial institutions experiencing liquidity difficulties; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• imposed further restrictions on bank withdrawals until December 2002, which effectively froze all term
deposits and subjected them to mandatory restructuring.

Additionally, further restrictions on foreign exchange transactions were introduced in 2002, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limits on the amount of U.S. dollars that could be withdrawn per month from bank accounts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limits on transfers of foreign currency outside of Argentina; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• restrictions on foreign trade transactions.

The economic crisis peaked during the first six months of 2002. During this period, economic activity collapsed with the largest contraction in the level of economic activity in Argentine history, fiscal revenues fell, inflation rose significantly and the financial system's liquidity crisis worsened. In addition to the controls over the foreign exchange market, the Government imposed mandatory repatriation of export proceeds. Strict foreign exchange controls, together with a significant surplus in the country's trade balance, ensured a supply of foreign currency to the market and resulted in the appreciation of the peso in the second half of the year.

By the middle of 2002, the policy of combining the sale of international reserves with the tightening of controls over the foreign exchange market and capital movements succeeded in stabilizing the peso. As the domestic currency stabilized, inflationary pressures declined. This, combined with the expansion of the monetary base, permitted a gradual stabilization of interest rates, which had sharply increased following the end of the Convertibility Regime.

During the last six months of 2002, real GDP contraction had slowed to 6.7%, as compared to the last six months of 2001, and Argentina recorded a U.S.$5.0 billion surplus in its current account. As of December 31, 2002:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the peso had appreciated to Ps.3.36 per dollar, compared to a low of Ps.3.87 on June 26, 2002;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• inflation, as measured by INDEC, was 8.0% for the six month period ended December 31, 2002, compared to
30.5% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002. In 2002, inflation, as measured by INDEC was 40.9% and as measured by the WPI was 118.0%, compared to the more than 240.1% loss in the value of the peso
when compared to the U.S. dollar during that year; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Central Bank's international reserves had increased to U.S.$10.5 billion, from
U.S.$9.6 billion on June 30, 2002.

Despite the improvement in economic conditions during the last six months of 2002, overall GDP declined 10.9% for the year compared to 2001.

To prevent the continued appreciation of the peso, the Central Bank eased certain of the foreign exchange restrictions imposed between November 2002 and January 2003. The improved economic conditions, in particular the reduction in capital flight from the Argentine economy, also allowed the Government to begin lifting restrictions on bank withdrawals in November 2002.

By the end of 2002, the economy seemed to have bottomed out from the crisis and the recession that began in 1998. However, the recovery was set against extremely depressed levels of economic activity, similar to those of the early 1990s. In addition, the recovery was the result of a set of economic policies aimed mainly at managing the crisis, but failed to include structural reforms needed to generate sustainable long-term economic growth. In December 2002, poverty levels stood at 42.3% of the households and 54.3% of the population.

***2003-2007***

The economic recovery that began in the last six months of 2002 continued during 2003, with GDP growing by 8.8% in 2003. This improvement was primarily a result of a growth in demand for Argentine exports, increased domestic production spurred by improved consumer and investor confidence and the substitution of imported products with domestic products. During 2003, quasi-currencies (treasury bonds issued by the Argentine provinces during the economic crisis) were withdrawn from circulation and restrictions on bank deposits were lifted. In the same year, renewed confidence in the financial system was evidenced by a 24.0% increase in nominal terms in total bank deposits.

------

During this period, the Government anchored it policies on three pillars:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the gradual recovery of real wages;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the use of fiscal policy to enhance the growth of domestic markets and domestic consumption and promote wealth
distribution taking advantage of the rising export commodity prices; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the use of multiple exchange rates and pricing regulations to redirect extraordinary export revenues with a view
to developing local industrial capacity.

As a result of the combination of policies, the Argentine economy grew continuously in 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 at rates of 9.0% (representing the rate of change from 2003 to 2004, calculated using data published by INDEC prior to June 29, 2016), 8.9%, 8.1% and 9.0%, respectively. During this period, the gross international reserves of the Central Bank increased to U.S.$46.2 billion as of December 31, 2007, compared to U.S.$14.1 billion as of December 31, 2003. The Kirchner administration's fiscal and trade policies generated a fiscal surplus (mainly through an increase in tax collections contributed by a tax on exports) as well as a trade surplus. Inflationary pressures increased in 2007 and through mid-2008 as a result of growing demand and continued supply constraints.

***2008-2015***

Commencing in 2008, the Government continued, and over time expanded, the economic policies initiated after the 2001 crisis, including fiscal and monetary policies aimed at maintaining economic growth rates, as well as price controls, tariff limits, subsidies and export taxes.

The strong economic rebound experienced by Argentina between 2003 and 2007 began to fade during the first half of 2008. In March 2008, the introduction of additional variable export taxes on agricultural products intended to be assessed on gains generated by increases in international prices of certain export commodities sparked a five-month conflict with farmers that brought important sectors of the economy in certain regions of the country to a standstill. Argentina experienced episodes of bank deposit withdrawals and capital outflows in 2008. The Central Bank raised interest rates to limit capital outflows from Argentina just as the economic downturn set in, which, in turn, exacerbated the downturn in the economy. By the third quarter of 2008, the Argentine economy began to experience a downturn that was aggravated by the escalation of the global financial crisis. In November 2008, Congress approved a law reforming the private pension system in Argentina, under which the assets held by private pension funds, including equity interests in a wide range of listed companies, were transferred to a separate fund as part of a new public system administered by the ANSES. Among other policy objectives, the measure sought to direct domestic savings to the financing of domestic economic activity and investment, as an alternative to international markets during a critical period.

Argentina's economy, like that of many other countries, was affected by the global financial crisis. Real GDP contracted by 10% between the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009. By mid-2009, public finances had rapidly deteriorated, with public expenditures growing at double the pace of revenue during the first half of the year as the Government sought to limit the effects of the recession. Although economic activity began to recover during the fourth quarter of 2009 due, in large part, to growth in industrial activity, public finances continued to weaken. Extraordinary revenue, including social security contributions and public transfers from government agencies such as the Central Bank and ANSES, played a key role in supporting the 19% rise in total public sector revenue in 2009, with resources channeled to the extension of two anti-poverty programs—a family allowance for formal sector workers earning less than a monthly threshold and income support for informal sector workers and the unemployed, among other measures. In late 2009, the Government decreed that certain foreign reserves held by the Central Bank would be made available for external debt payments.

Inflationary pressures rose in early 2010, and the Central Bank provided financing to the Government to cover a portion of the fiscal deficit. At the same time, the economy began to show signs of recovery, as industrial output increased. The Argentine economy grew by 10.1% in 2010, reaching the highest growth level since 2005. In contrast, the current account deteriorated during 2010, with the current-account surplus falling from U.S.$8.2 billion in 2009 to a deficit of U.S.$1.5 billion in 2010, as the trade surplus, a key source of foreign currency, narrowed by more than 20% in 2010.

In June 2010, the Government conducted the 2010 Debt Exchange to restructure Untendered Debt, with an acceptance rate of 81%. Although approximately 92% of Argentina's debt defaulted in 2001 was restructured through the 2005 and 2010 Debt Exchanges, an aggregate principal amount of approximately U.S.$6.1 billion of Untendered Debt remained outstanding following these debt restructuring initiatives and litigation with the holdout creditors continued.

------

Starting in 2011, Argentina's economy evidenced structural constraints adversely affecting its balance of payments. The demands for imported parts by the automobile industry and the electronic products industry in Tierra del Fuego, increasing demand for imported capital goods, the need to service foreign debt, and continued remittances by residents to non-residents strained the Central Bank's international reserves. In addition, the growing economy encountered energy supply constraints, which were result of under-investment by the oil and gas industry and lead to Government-arranged imports of energy to avoid a deceleration of economic activity. A decision was made to recover the initiative in a vital sector of the economy which lead to the approval by Congress, in May 2012, of the administration's bill to expropriate 51% of the shares of the country's largest oil company, YPF S.A. ("YPF"), which was majority-owned by Spain's Repsol S.A. ("Repsol"). Between 2008 and 2011, subsidies to the energy and transport sectors had increased by 156%, while the energy foreign trade deficit grew.

The Central Bank continued its expansionary monetary policy in 2011, particularly through its purchases of foreign currency and lending to the Treasury. The Central Bank additionally continued its sterilization efforts to support the peso through the issuance of Central Bank notes (Lebacs and Nobacs). The public sector recorded a deficit of Ps.30.7 billion in 2011 (1.4% of GDP) compared to a public-sector surplus of Ps.3.1 billion in 2010 (0.2% of GDP).

The Government introduced a series of capital and foreign-exchange controls during the fourth quarter of 2011 intended to reduce capital outflows. During the 12-month period ending in December 2011, capital outflows were estimated to have reached U.S.$25 billion, or nearly half of the Central Bank's foreign reserves at the beginning of the year. As a result, demand for U.S. dollars increased, leading to an increase in the gap between the official and unofficial exchange rates.

Argentina also began to experience energy shortages in 2011, following years of limited investment in the energy sector, as well as the electricity and natural gas tariff-freeze maintained since 2002 as part of the Government's emergency measures.

In April 2012, the Government announced an amendment to the Central Bank's charter, which increased its discretion in policymaking and provided the Government with additional tools to intervene in the financial system, including in pursuit of its new aim of promoting economic growth with social equity.

In mid-2012, restrictions on the purchase of foreign currency were introduced. The Government's attempts to shore up foreign reserves were primarily driven by its dual goals of accumulating U.S. dollars to service its external debt obligations and maintaining a buffer to avoid a currency run in the event of a deterioration of global market conditions or sharp slowdown of domestic economic activity.

There was a marked deceleration of economic activity in 2012, as real GDP contracted by 1.0%, compared to an expansion of 6.0% in 2011. During 2012, the primary fiscal balance fell sharply to a deficit of Ps.4.4 billion –the first deficit since 1996– from a surplus of Ps.4.9 billion in 2011, as expansionary fiscal policies that relied in part on Central Bank financing failed to prevent an economic slowdown and a decrease in tax revenue growth. The overall fiscal deficit represented an estimated 2.1% of GDP in 2012.

In June 2013, the Government announced an increase in social transfers through two programs providing child allowances to households based on certain income thresholds. In an ongoing attempt to stem inflation, in June 2013, the Government announced price freezes that covered approximately 500 products (including food, beverages, cleaning products and toiletries) for an initial three-month period, which was subsequently extended through a series of price freezes into 2014. The economy recovered growth in 2013, as real GDP grew 2.4% compared to the previous year.

In January 2014, the Central Bank allowed the peso to lose 8.2% of its value compared to the U.S. dollar in one day—the largest correction to occur in a single day since the 2001-2002 crisis– as international reserves fell below U.S.$30 billion. Shortly thereafter, the Government announced an easing of certain foreign-exchange controls. In an effort to tame inflation, the Government also launched the *Precios Cuidados* program in January 2014, which established price controls on a broad range of basic household and other products.

The Government took steps to regain access to the international financial market, including the negotiation of an agreement with the Paris Club (concluded in May 2016) and settlements with foreign investors that had obtained arbitral awards following the measures adopted during 2001/2002 economic crisis and the settlement with Repsol. These initiatives were not sufficient. In June 2014, an order of the New York District Court in the on-going litigation with hold out creditors of pre-2001 bonds prevented the Government from making payments to holders of certain of its bonds issued pursuant to the 2005 and 2010 Debt Exchanges (the "2005 and 2010 Exchange Bonds") under New York law. This event prevented Argentina from regaining access to the international capital markets, thereby increasing the risk of a balance-of-payment crisis.

A trend in declining industrial output that began in the third quarter of 2013 continued through 2014, as the country's manufacturing, mining and utilities sectors faced an erosion of consumer and business confidence, social unrest, continued high inflation, increased pressure on the currency, and waning demand from Argentina's biggest export market, Brazil. In 2014, total expenditure growth outpaced revenue growth, primarily as a result of an increase in the Government's social benefit and pension payments. As a result, the overall fiscal deficit rose to Ps.109.7 billion, representing a 70% increase compared to 2013. In total, primary spending rose by 41.8%, with transfers to the private sector, particularly in the form of energy subsidies and social aid, driving this expansion. Real GDP contracted by 2.5% in 2014.

------

With global capital markets closed to Argentina, a trade surplus fueled by high international commodity prices remained the main source of foreign currency reserves for the Central Bank for over a decade. However, exports were undermined in 2014 by a decrease in external competitiveness, falling commodity prices and an economic slowdown in Brazil, Argentina's primary market for manufactured exports. In total, export earnings fell by 10% in 2014, and the trade surplus narrowed to U.S.$6.0 billion. Capital inflows during 2014, including through currency swap agreements entered into by the Central Bank with the People's Bank of China, increased international reserves.

Continued growth in public sector spending contributed to a modest recovery of the Argentine economy beginning in the first quarter of 2015. Despite a deceleration of inflation, monetary expansion accelerated in the first half of 2015. During 2015, the monetary supply rose by 30.2%, compared to a 20.5% increase in 2014. The difference between 2014 and 2015 reflected a change in the Central Bank's sterilization policy: in 2014, the Central Bank sterilized Ps.94.6 billion and raised interest rates on Lebacs, whereas sterilization fell significantly to Ps.8.7 billion during 2015 as a decrease in the Lebac rate reduced investments by the financial system in Central Bank notes. Seeking to boost consumption, in July 2015, the minimum wage was increased by 31.4%—the first major increase since September 2014.

By mid-2015, China had become an important trading partner (as Argentina's second-largest export destination after Brazil) and source of foreign exchange. As a result, the depreciation of the Renminbi led the Government to tighten further foreign-exchange controls in August 2015, with a view to protecting its international reserves and avoiding a currency crisis.

***2015-2019***

Following the change of administration in December 10, 2015, the Government sought to overcome Argentina's fiscal and balance of payments constraints announcing and implementing economic and policy reforms intended to enhance sustainable development, ensuring macroeconomic stability through fiscal balance, increasing trade with third countries and strengthening the Central Bank. These measures included foreign trade and foreign exchange reforms, financial and fiscal policy measures, energy sector reforms, measures intended to address certain socio-economic needs and increase the productivity and competitiveness of the Argentine economy.

The 28.6% depreciation of the peso in December 2015 and the elimination of all foreign exchange controls ultimately lead to an increase in inflation, which ended 2016 with an annual rate of increase in the WPI of 36.6%, while real GDP contracted by 2.1%. During 2017, the economy recovered and real GDP grew by 2.8%. The peso remained relatively stable and inflation decreased to 24.8% (compared to a target of 17% set by the Central Bank). The increasing tension between the expressed objective of reducing inflation by tightening monetary policies and the desire to promote economic growth was resolved by the Government in favor of relaxing monetary policies and increasing the inflation target by 5% to 15% for 2018. Holders of financial instruments denominated in pesos, including a significant amount of non-resident investors, divested their holdings in favor of foreign currency assets, which were transferred overseas.

In respect of foreign trade and foreign exchange, the Government first eliminated export duties on wheat, corn, beef, mining, oil and regional products, and reduced the duty on soybean exports by 5%, from 35% to 30%. A 5% export duty on most industrial exports was also eliminated. In 2017, the Government eliminated import duties on computers, computer parts and ancillary products (such as printers and scanners). See, however, "—Factors Affecting the Argentine Economy in 2018 and 2019 and Measures Adopted in Response." The Government also eliminated the restrictions on access to the foreign exchange market and all foreign exchange restrictions, including certain currency controls introduced in prior years, which lead to an increase in the vulnerability in the financial account. See "—Factors Affecting the Argentine Economy in 2018 and 2019 and Measures Adopted in Response." In September 2019, the Central Bank re-introduced restrictions on foreign currency transactions. See "Monetary System—Foreign Exchange and International Reserves—Foreign Exchange."

The Government also relied heavily on foreign financing. Between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2018, the Government raised financing in the international market through the issuance of global bonds and a series of sale and repurchase transactions.

The Government's main initiatives with regard to fiscal policy between 2016 and 2017 included a pension reform in 2016 (see "Public Sector Finances—Social Security—Retiree Programs and *Ley de Reforma Previsional* (Pension Reform Law)"), a tax reform in 2017, intended to eliminate certain loopholes and inefficiencies of the Argentine tax regime, diminish evasion, increase the coverage of income tax as applied to individuals and encourage investment while sustaining Argentina's medium- and long-term efforts aimed at restoring fiscal balance (see "Public Sector Finances—Tax Regime") and an agreement in 2017 known as the *Consenso Fiscal* (the "2017 Fiscal Consensus") with 23 of Argentina's sub-sovereign jurisdictions (22 provinces and the City of Buenos Aires) that included a commitment to lowering distortive taxes by 1.5% of GDP over a five year period (2018-2022), a waiver by the 23 signatories of lawsuits against the federal government and a compensation to the province of Buenos Aires of Ps.21.0 billion in 2018, Ps.44.0 billion in 2019 and an amount equal to Ps.44.0 billion adjusted by inflation from 2020 forward in exchange for the elimination of the recurrent federal government contributions to the *Fondo del Conurbano Bonaerense* (Greater Buenos Aires Area Fund).

------

To alleviate the impact of adverse conditions on certain social sectors, the Government implemented (i) an expansion of the base of beneficiaries of child-allowances; (ii) the harmonization of Universal Child Allowance with local programs to permit eligibility for more than one program and increases in the amounts of the allowances under the program; (iii) refunds of VAT paid on the purchase of certain staples (such as food, clothing and cleaning supplies) by retirees that receive minimum pensions and individuals receiving the Universal Child or pregnancy allowance, (iv) an increase in the limit on annual income for those eligible for the *Monotributo Social* program; (v) programs to enhance opportunities to complete studies and gain training in a variety of fields; (iv) the adjustment of income tax brackets to account for the impact of inflation; and (vii) the strengthening of other social programs. Following the depreciation of the peso that occurred on August 12, 2019, the Government adopted various measures granting relief to the lower income segments of the population.

In addition, the Government implemented several measures aimed at increasing the productivity, competitiveness and transparency of the Argentine economy.

**Factors Affecting the Argentine Economy in 2018 and 2019 and Measures Adopted in Response** 

During the first five months of 2018, the Argentine economy was affected by a severe drought that led to a sharp decline in agricultural production and export revenue, while world energy prices increased and global access to financing became tighter through the appreciation of the U.S dollar and an upward shift in the U.S. yield curve. These factors negatively affected the peso, which lost 25.6% of its value vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar between January 2 and May 31, 2018, generated market concerns regarding the Central Bank's ability to roll-over its short–term debt and resulted in a marked increase in Argentina's sovereign risk premium. Argentina's fiscal imbalances, its dependence on foreign revenues to cover its fiscal deficit, and rigidities that have historically limited the ability of the economy to absorb and adapt to external factors, added to the severity of the economic downturn and undermined investor confidence. Between January and June 2018, the international reserves of the Central Bank decreased by approximately U.S.$15.4 billion.

In June 2018, the Government announced a 36-month precautionary Stand-By Arrangement (the "SBA") with the IMF and other financing agreements with multilateral organization. See "—Agreements with the IMF." In spite of the SBA inflation did not abate, net international reserves continued to decrease, the current account deficit remained high and other program targets were not met. In August 2018, after the peso lost 21.3% of its value vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar over a period of 20 days, the Government requested (i) an augmentation of access under the SBA, (ii) a front-loading of access into 2018-2019 (instead of 2020-2021) and (iii) that the domestic counterpart of the access drawn under the SBA be made available to support budget needs.

In furtherance of the program agreed with the IMF, the Government announced a series of measures aimed at achieving a primary fiscal balance in 2019 and a primary fiscal surplus in 2020 and to reorganize the public administration. The measures announced included a combination of initiatives to reduce public sector expenditures and initiatives to increase public sector revenues.

The Central Bank, in turn, tightened its monetary policies by raising interest rates and decelerating monetary growth while allowing the peso to float freely within a non-intervention zone. See "—Monetary System—Monetary Policy."

During 2019, the recession that had begun in the second quarter of 2018 continued. In 2019, GDP contracted by 2.1%. Further, the Central Bank's gross international reserves decreased to U.S.$44.8 billion as of December 31, 2019 (a U.S.$20.9 billion decrease compared to gross international reserves as of December 31, 2018). This decrease is mainly explained by an outflow of Argentine portfolio investments held by non-residents in Argentina and the acquisition of foreign financial assets by Argentine residents, which accumulated U.S.$31.2 billion in 2019.

Notwithstanding the continued and strong contraction in economic activity, inflation accelerated during 2019, reaching 53.8% year-on-year in December 2019. Despite the economic activity contraction, the unemployment rate decreased to 8.9% in 2019, compared to 9.1% in 2018. In addition, poverty and extreme poverty levels increased to 35.5% and 8.0% of the population, respectively, in the second half of 2019.

The recession lead to an improvement of the Republic's balance of payments. In 2019, the current account deficit decreased to U.S.$4.0 billion, mainly as a result of a 25.0% decrease in imports of goods and a 5.4% increase in exports of goods. The balance of goods and services went from registering a deficit of U.S.$9.7 billion in 2018 to a U.S.$13.0 billion surplus during 2019.

**Agreements with the IMF** 

On June 7, 2018, Argentina's then Ministry of Economy, the Central Bank and the IMF staff reached an understanding on the terms of the SBA for disbursements totaling approximately U.S.$50 billion, which was approved by the IMF's Executive Board on June 20, 2018. The SBA was intended to provide support to the Macri administration's economic program. On June 22, 2018 the Government made a first drawing of approximately U.S.$15 billion under the SBA.

Following the execution of the SBA, in August 2018, Argentina faced an unexpected bout of volatility affecting emerging markets generally. On October 26, 2018, in light of the adjustments to fiscal and monetary policies announced by the Government and the Central Bank, the IMF's Executive Board allowed the Government to draw the equivalent of U.S.$5.7 billion, bringing total disbursements since June 2018 to approximately U.S.$20.6 billion, approved an augmentation of the SBA increasing total assets to approximately U.S.$57.1 billion for the duration of the program through 2021 and the front loading of the disbursements. Under the revised SBA, IMF resources for Argentina in 2018-19 increased by U.S.$18.9 billion. IMF disbursements for the remainder of 2018 more than doubled compared to the original IMF-supported program, to a total of U.S.$13.4 billion (in addition to the U.S.$15 billion disbursed in June 2018). The resources available in the program were not expected to be treated as precautionary and the Government's request made in 2018 that the IMF financing be used for budget support was granted. Between January 1 and July 10, 2019, the Government drew U.S.$16.2 billion under the SBA, with the last disbursement taking place on July 2019. On September 22, 2021, Argentina repaid the first principal installment under the SBA of U.S.$1.9 billion.

On March 25, 2022, the Republic signed a 30-month Extended Fund Facility agreement ("EFF") with the IMF for 31.9 billion SDRs (approximately U.S.$44 billion) to refinance the SBA. See "Public Sector Debt—Debt Owed to Financial Institutions—IMF."

***2020-2023***

In 2020, the Government introduced a series of measures to address a public emergency in economic, financial, fiscal, administrative, pensions, tariff, energy, health and social matters. In particular, these included measures to (i) ensure the sustainability of Argentina's public sector debt, (ii) implement an integral renegotiation of energy tariffs with the relevant utilities companies, (iii) increases in income tax, personal assets tax, credit and debit in banks tax, export and import duties and social security tax rates, and (iv) increases in minum wages. However, the Government's efforts were laregely derailed with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2020 and 2021, Argentina adopted several measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic aimed at preventing mass contagion and overcrowding of Argentine health service facilities, which include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The imposition of nation-wide mandatory lockdown, whereby only exceptional and essential activities and internal
travel were allowed, between March and June 2020. Thereafter, the mandatory lockdown was temporarily maintained only in those jurisdictions most affected by the pandemic, while other jurisdictions were made subject to mandatory social distancing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Stronger surveillance of Argentine borders; mandatory isolation for 14 days of persons with suspected or
confirmed cases of COVID-19 or persons in close contact with suspected or confirmed cases or from affected zones; closure of activities with high concentration of persons; school closures (except for food
assistance and administrative purposes); temporary work leave for pregnant women, people older than 60 years and other persons considered subject to a special risk upon infection; authorization for federal public employees to work remotely (other
than employees providing essential services); promotion of home office policies in the public and private sector.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The construction of eight modular hospitals throughout the country.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The acquisition of COVID-19 vaccines.

Simultaneously, the Government implemented several stimulus measures to mitigate the economic effects of the abovementioned measures, including measures involving direct transfers, partial payment of private sector wages, interest rate subsidies for loan lines, credit injection, guarantees for companies taking loans from the financial system and tax reductions and exemptions, among others. In 2020, the fiscal and financial package implemented by the federal non-financial public sector to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic represented an amount equal to approximately 6.5% of GDP, of which 3/4 pertains to measures that have an impact on the Government's finances and 1/4 is accounted for by measures related to credit lines.

Further, the Government provided additional resources to the provinces to help them mitigate the effects of COVID-19. The measures included contributions from the Treasury amounting to Ps.67.2 million in the aggregate and other transfers for Ps.53.1 million in the aggregate. In addition, financial assistance through the *Fondo Fiduciario para el Desarrollo Provincial* (Provincial Development Trust Fund) amounted to 0.3% of GDP, or Ps.70.3 million. As for credit injection measures, the non-financial public sector made a range of subsidized and guaranteed credit lines available for an amount equal to approximately 2.0% of GDP.

------

During 2021, the Government implemented several measures to protect employment, strengthen the health system, promote social inclusion and sustain the income of households and companies that were particularly affected by the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The fiscal and financial package implemented in 2021 by the federal non-financial public sector to mitigate the effects of the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic represented an amount equal to approximately 1.8% of GDP (or approximately Ps.820 million) and included expenditures related to (i) the purchase of COVID-19 vaccines; (ii) contributions to lower income groups, including through the Universal Child Allowance and the Pregnancy Allowance, the Card to Feed, the Empowering Work program, assistance to certain single-taxpayers, purchase of food by the Ministry of Social Development and the Progress and *Potenciar Inclusión Jóvenes* (*Empower Youth Inclusion*) scholarships*;* (iii) programs aimed at assisting companies that experienced financial distress as a result of their own activity or external factors affecting their production*;* (iv) promoting demand for tourism services by relaunching programs aimed at stimulating tourism during months of lower activity, opening tourist health centers and implementing programs for the protection of workers and SMEs of the sector; and (v) strengthening the *Plan Argentina Hace* (Argentina Acts Plan), which promotes small-scale infrastructure works with rapid execution and high impact on demand for local employment.

In 2022 and 2023, the Government focused its policies on promoting a sustainable growth of the economy, generating employment, strengthening conditions to reduce inflation and increasing minimum monthly wages. In addition, the Government introduced a series of measures aimed at increasing reserves and investments in the Republic, including (i) a special foreign exchange rate for soybean producers to liquidate soybean exports, (ii) an agreement with the automobile industry for the implementation of a mechanism whereby companies that increased exports paid zero pay export duties for the portion corresponding to the increment, (iii) a project to develop offshore gas in the coasts of the province of Tierra del Fuego, with private investments amounting to U.S.$700 million, (iv) the commencement of infrastructure projects aimed at doubling the transportation capacity of the Vaca Muerta-Bahía Blanca pipeline, including the conclusion of the construction of the Néstor Kirchner Gas Pipeline connecting the provinces of Neuquén and Buenos Aires (see "—Role of the State in the Economy—Energy Sector Reforms"), and (v) the granting of Ps.30.0 billion in credits aimed at boosting investments in SMEs that provide services in the Vaca Muerta region.

**The Milei Administration** 

The Milei administration took office with the objectives of lowering inflation, increasing employment levels and real income, and creating a sustained improvement in the quality of life of the population.

With the objective of reducing public sector deficit, the Milei administration implemented an economic program focused on rationalizing public sector spending, prioritizing social policies, improving public safety and modernizing the public administration. The Government's economic program is anchored on two pillars: (i) guaranteeing macroeconomic stability and reducing bureaucracy, and (ii) simplifying trade and other economic transactions. The first pillar is focused on guaranteeing financial equilibrium in the non-financial public sector and eliminating the need to finance the public sector deficits through net indebtedness or monetary issuance, and is intended to be achieved through measures aimed at permanently reducing expenditures and imposing temporary tax increases. The second pillar is focused on the implementation of measures and reforms aimed at promoting productive development through the integration of Argentina's economy to the global markets and an increase in levels of transparency and competitiveness. In this regard, the Government implemented (i) foreign trade measures, aimed at reducing import costs, boosting exports, facilitating transactions, eliminating import permits, reducing import tariffs and taxes, and simplifying non-tariff measures and procedures; and (ii) domestic trade measures, with the objective of normalizing trade, promoting competition, protecting consumers, eliminating price and quantity controls, simplifying domestic trade, modernizing antitrust regulations, improving means of payment, promoting self-regulation, and updating standards and controls on fair trade.

The measures adopted by the Government included: (i) the reduction of subsidies in the transport and energy sectors, aimed at improving the allocation of funds to benefit vulnerable groups, (ii) a reduction in transfers to the Provinces, administrative costs, and the financing of media advertisements, (iii) a reorganization of the public administration, which entailed a reduction in the number of public ministries, a reduction in the number public administration employees, and the elimination of transfers to state-owned enterprises, (iv) an increase in the budget for public security and defense, (v) the implementation of a new formula for updating social security payments, (vi) an increase in the transfers allocated to social programs, including the *Asignación Universal por Hijo* (Universal Child Allowance or "AUH"), *Prestación Alimentar* (Food Provision) and *Plan 1.000 días* (1,000 Days Plan), and (vi) the elimination of certain fiduciary funds, such as the *Fondo Fiduciario para el Desarrollo de la Generación Distribuida de Energías Renovables* (Trust Fund for the Development of Distributed Generation of Renewable Energies), *Fondo Fiduciario Nacional de Agroindustria* (National Agroindustry Trust Fund), *Fondo Establizador del Trigo Argentino* (Argentine Wheat Stabilizing Fund)*, Fondo para la Recuperación de la Actividad Ovina* (Fund for the Recovery of Sheep Activity) and *Fondo de Cobertura Universal de Salud* (Universal Health Coverage Fund)*.*

**Gross Domestic Product** 

GDP is a measure of the total value of final products and services produced in a country. Nominal GDP measures the total value of final production in current prices. Real GDP measures the total value of final production in constant prices of a particular year, thus allowing historical GDP comparisons that exclude the effects of inflation. Argentina's real GDP figures are measured in pesos and are based on constant 2004 prices, as revised in the INDEC Report. Among other adjustments, in calculating GDP for 2004, INDEC made changes to the composition of GDP that resulted in an upward adjustment of approximately 8.4% for that year. In calculating real GDP for subsequent years based on the revised GDP for 2004, INDEC used deflators that are consistent with its revised methodology to calculate inflation.

The information set forth below in this section has been derived from statistics included in the INDEC Report.

The following table sets forth the evolution of nominal GDP and per capita GDP for the periods specified, at current prices.

*Agriculture, Livestock, Game and Forestry* **** 

Argentina relies on its domestic supply for virtually all agricultural and livestock products, and is a major exporter of primary products, including cereals, grains, meat and fish. Crop production consists primarily of soy, corn and wheat. During the 2023 to 2024 season, soy, corn, and wheat production represented 34.8%, 11.4% and 41.5% of total agricultural production, respectively. During 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. Argentina's agriculture, livestock, game, forestry, fishing and extractives sector accounted for 11.4%, 10.8%, 10.4%, 9.0% and 11.1% of real GDP, respectively.

In 2023, the agriculture, livestock, game and forestry sector contracted by 24.2% compared to 2022, mainly due to the impact of the drought affecting the 2023/2024 harvest season and the effects of avian influenza. In the 2022/2023 harvest season, harvested cereals, oilseeds and industrial crops totaled 94.8 million tons, representing a 33.5% decrease when compared to the 2021/2022 harvest season.

In 2024, the agriculture, livestock, game and forestry sector grew by 32.3% compared to 2023, mainly due to the impact of the drought affecting the 2023/2024 harvest season and the effects of avian influenza. In the 2023/2024 harvest season, harvested cereals, oilseeds and industrial crops totaled 138.5 million tons, representing a 45.9% increase when compared to the 2022/2023 harvest season.

*Mining and Extractives (Including Oil and Gas Production)* 

The mining and extractives sector consists primarily of precious and semi-precious metals, coal, petroleum and gas exploration and production. Historically, mining activity in Argentina has represented a small part of the economy, accounting for 3.1%, 3.1%, 3.2%, 3.6% and 3.9% of real GDP in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively.

Argentina is the largest producer of natural gas and the second largest producer of crude oil in Latin America, based on 2023 production, according to the 2024 edition of the Energy Institute Statistical Review of World Energy, published in June 2024. As of December 31, 2024, YPF held interests in 119 oil and gas fields in Argentina and, in association with private partners, was also engaged in projects relating to the exploration and development of unconventional resources, including shale oil and gas, primarily in the *Vaca Muerta* formation located in the provinces of Neuquén and Río Negro. See "Role of the State in the Economy—Oil and Gas Industry."

***Secondary Production***

*Manufacturing* 

Argentina's manufacturing sector primarily consists of the production of food and beverages, chemical products and substances, common metals, rubber and plastic products, motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers and apparel. The 2001-2002 economic crisis that severely affected Argentina—with GDP contracting 10.9% in 2002—had a significant adverse effect on this sector. The adoption of import-substitution policies commencing in 2002 contributed to the growth of this sector during the following years. Between 2003 and 2008, economic growth was also fueled by growth of the manufacturing sector, which became competitive due to the effects of the depreciation of the peso and investments aimed at stimulating production. Industrial products, such as chemical products, planes and ships, and agricultural products, such as crops and livestock, also contributed to increasing exports during this period. Argentina's manufacturing sector, however, is significantly exposed to fluctuations in the cost of capital, which in turn are affected by the Government's fiscal and monetary policies. In recent years, the manufacturing sector has been adversely affected by Argentina's unstable macroeconomic environment. In 2024, the manufacturing sector accounted for 15.3% of real GDP.

During 2020, the manufacturing sector contracted by 7.7% compared to 2019. This decrease was primarily driven by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 28.1% decrease in common metals;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 13.2% decrease in wearing apparel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 10.9% decrease in metal products; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 9.7% decrease in motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers.

This decrease was partially offset by a 4.1% increase in chemical products, a 3.3% increase in machinery and equipment and a 2.0% increase in electronic products.

During 2021, the manufacturing sector grew by 15.8% compared to 2020. This increase was primarily driven by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 14.3% increase in common metals;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 13.9% increase in machinery and equipment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 9.6% increase in motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 12.3% increase in food and beverages.

All manufacturing activities increased during 2021, except for the furniture and mattress industry.

During 2022, the manufacturing sector grew by 4.7% compared to 2021. This increase was primarily driven by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 17.7% increase in machinery and equipment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 17.4% increase in food and beverages;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 13.2% increase in chemical products; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 10.3% increase in motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers.

This increase was partially offset by a 3.8% decrease in wood and cork products.

During 2023, the manufacturing sector contracted by 2.0% compared to 2022. This decrease was primarily driven by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 48.4% decrease in food and beverages;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 21.9% decrease in machinery and equipment; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 23.9% decrease in chemical products.

This decrease was partially offset by an 8.6% increase in products derived from oil refining, and a 6.6% increase in wearing apparel.

------

During 2024, the manufacturing sector contracted by 8.8% compared to 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 15.3% decrease in common metals;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 14.1% decrease in non-metallic products; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 14.1% decrease in machinery and equipment.

This decrease was partially offset by a 0.7% increase in products derived from oil refining, and a 0.6% increase in food and beverages.

*Construction* 

The Argentine economy shows a strong correlation between the evolution of real GDP and the construction sector, which primarily consists of residential projects.

In 2020, the level of activity in the construction sector decreased by 22.4% compared to 2019. In 2020, the construction sector accounted for 2.6% of real GDP.

In 2021, the level of activity in the construction sector increased by 29.1% compared to 2020. In 2021, the construction sector accounted for 3.1% of real GDP.

In 2022, the level of activity in the construction sector increased by 5.9% compared to 2021. In 2022, the construction sector accounted for 3.1% of real GDP.

In 2023, the level of activity in the construction sector increased by 0.9% compared to 2022. In 2023, the construction sector accounted for 3.2% of real GDP.

In 2024, the level of activity in the construction sector decreased by 17.5% compared to 2023. In 2024, the construction sector accounted for 2.6% of real GDP.

*Electricity, Gas and Water* 

Electricity in Argentina is primarily produced from combined cycle (which uses both gas and steam turbines to produce electricity) and hydroelectric sources, with supplemental generation from gas, coal and nuclear plants. The electricity, gas and water sector represents a small fraction of the Argentine economy, accounting for 1.8% of real GDP in 2024.

The electricity, gas and water sector increased by 3.3% and 2.7% in 2021 and 2022, respectively, decreased by 0.7% in 2023, and remained relatively stable in 2024, in each case as compared to the previous year. Between 2020 and 2024, Argentina relied in part on fuel imports to meet excess consumption needs.

*Source: INDEC and Ministry of Economy.* 

In 2020, the services sector decreased by 10.6% compared to 2019. This decrease was primarily driven by a 17.0% decrease in the transportation, storage and communication sector and a 38.7% decrease in other community, social and personal services. The financial services sector was the least affected by the outbreak of COVID-19, decreasing by 0.9% compared to 2019.

In 2021, the services sector increased by 9.6% compared to 2020. This increase was primarily driven by a 13.5% increase in wholesale and retail trade and repair services, an 8.9% increase in real estate, business and rental services, a 7.0% increase in transportation, storage and communication services and a 33.0% increase in other community, social and personal services. The financial services sector increased by 0.6% compared to 2020.

In 2022, the services sector increased by 6.0% compared to 2021. This increase was primarily driven by a 6.0% increase in wholesale and retail trade and repair services, a 4.9% increase in real estate, business and rental services, a 7.9% increase in transportation, storage and communication services, a 9.2% increase in domestic services and a 34.0% increase in hotels and restaurants. The financial services sector increased by 0.1% compared to 2021.

In 2023, the services sector increased by 0.8% compared to 2022. This increase was primarily driven by a 1.6% increase in real estate, business and rental services and a 2.0% increase in education, social and health services real estate. The financial services sector decreased by 2.9% compared to 2022.

In 2024, the services sector decreased by 2.1% compared to 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by a 7.2% decrease in wholesale and retail trade and repair services and a 0.3% in real estate, business and rental services. The financial services sector decreased by 4.7% compared to 2023.

*Telecommunications* 

The telecommunications sector has grown since 2001. Much of this growth has resulted from a substantial increase in the use of mobile communications, which have become increasingly common in Argentina as more affordable cellular phone plans have become available and consumers' purchasing power has improved.

In September 2020, the Government adopted a national connectivity plan, the *Plan Conectar* (Connect Plan), aimed at reducing the digital gap, extending access to information and communication technology services and increasing broadband connections throughout the Republic by an efficient use of existing provincial and national telecommunications infrastructure. In 2022, progress was made in connection with the construction of the ARSAT-SG1 satellite. In addition, progress was made in the development of the ARSAT SG2 satellite, which is expected to (i) double the number of available antennas, (ii) allow for a more flexible allocation of internet traffic and (iii) direct the satellite's telecommunications capacity according to a specific region's demand. This technology constitutes an innovation within the national satellite industry and increases ARSAT's international competitiveness in the provision of satellite services.

------

In 2021, the Government announced the commencement of a project related to the third satellite of the ARSAT fleet, the geostationary telecommunications satellite ARSAT SG-1, which will be the first electric propulsion satellite built in Argentina. In addition, the Government initiated the acquisition of equipment to expand the cybersecurity and storage capacity of ARSAT's national data center, which offers cloud services and information security. Simultaneously, with financing from the IADB, activities were carried out to expand and update the broadband throughout the country, increasing Internet traffic with greater capacity, speed and connection.

In 2024, the *Ente Nacional de Comunicaciones* (National Communications Entity or "ENACOM") authorized the use of certain foreign satellite-based internet providers in the country, which resulted in a 1,400% increase in satellite internet connections from 3,400 users in September 2023 to 46,000 users in September 2024.

Further, on April 10, 2024, the Government repealed Decree No. 690/20. Such repeal (i) removed the ability of the Government to regulate the prices of telecommunications services such as mobile telephony, internet, and cable television, (ii) allowed service providers to set prices and (iii) promoted the entry of new competitors to the market.

**Role of the State in the Economy** 

***State-Owned Entities***

The Government carries out certain functions and commercial activities through state-owned and state-controlled enterprises, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Aerolíneas Argentinas S.A. ("Aerolíneas Argentinas"), the country's largest
airline;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Banco de la Nación Argentina ("Banco Nación"), the national bank of Argentina;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Banco de Inversión y Comercio Exterior S.A. ("BICE");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Agua y Saneamientos Argentinos S.A. ("AYSA"), which provides essential services of potable water and
sanitation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Correo Oficial de la República Argentina ("Correo Argentino"), the national postal service;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Integración Energética Argentina S.A. ("IEASA"), a state-owned energy company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Operadora Ferroviaria S.E., the national railway company; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• YPF, a state-controlled energy company.

In line with the principles set forth by the Government and reaffirmed in the guidelines presented within the framework of the 2025 budget proposal, the Government expects to advance the restructuring, concession, and/or privatization of certain wholly or majority State-owned companies. See "Recent Developments—The Argentine Economy—Role of the State in the Economy—Privatization Policy."

***State Involvement in the Economy***

Following the crisis of 2001 to 2002, between 2003 and 2023, the Government reversed a number of measures implemented during the 1990s to deregulate the economy and reduce government intervention. The Government re-introduced several state controls, most notably the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the absorption and replacement of the former private pension system for a public "pay as you go"
pension system, as well as the transfer of all resources previously administered by the private pension funds, including equity interests in a wide range of listed companies, to the FGS to be administered by the ANSES;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• direct involvement in the oil and gas industry through the creation of ENARSA, the enactment of the Hydrocarbons
Law (defined below) and the expropriation of 51% of the shares of YPF;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increased regulation of utility companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the revocation of concessions for certain public services (including several railway lines and water services);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• restrictions on capital transfers and other monetary transactions (see "Monetary System—Regulation of
the Financial Sector");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• continued price controls on transportation and agricultural and energy products (see "—Gross Domestic
Product—Primary Production");

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• export tariffs on agricultural products (see "Balance of Payments— Current Account—Trade
Regulation");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• subsidies to the energy and transportation sectors; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• export regulations (see "Balance of Payments—Current Account—Trade Regulation").

In December 2008, Congress approved a law declaring that the shares of Aerolíneas Argentinas, its affiliate Líneas Aéreas Cielos del Sur S.A. ("Austral") and their subsidiaries, Optar S.A., Jet Paq S.A. and Aerohandling S.A. were "of public interest" and therefore subject to expropriation in accordance with Law No. 21,499 (the "Argentine Expropriation Law"). Under the valuation guidelines established in the Argentine Expropriation Law, the *Tribunal de Tasaciones de la Nación* (National Valuation Tribunal), estimated that these entities had an aggregate negative value approximately ranging between U.S.$602.0 million and U.S.$872.0 million. For a discussion of related arbitration proceedings, see "Public Sector Debt—Legal Proceedings—ICSID Arbitration."

Since assuming office in December 2023, and with the objective of reducing public sector deficit, the Milei administration implemented an economic program focused on rationalizing public sector spending that reverted to some extent the measures described above. See ""The Argentine Economy—The Milei Administration."

***Oil and Gas Industry***

Transfers on account of subsidies to the energy sector totaled Ps.492.4 billion in 2020, Ps.1,050.8 billion in 2021, Ps.1,657 billion in 2022, Ps.2,951.7 billion in 2023 and Ps.6.8 billion in 2024.

***Energy sector reforms***

In early 2004, Argentina began to experience energy shortages, which initially let to a decrease of natural gas and other energy exports but over time affected the entire Argentine economy. Since then, the Government has adopted multiple measures to improve infrastructure and increase installed power generation capacity.

In 2015, the Government took various actions designed to ensure the supply of electricity to the country. The measures adopted by the Government aimed at increasing energy generation by tendering thermal and renewable energy projects and creating a free market for renewable energies. Between 2017 and 2021, 37 new thermal projects for a total of 4,507 MWs became operative, and four projects for a total of 456 MWs were under construction as of the date of this Annual Report.

Further, as a result of tender offers, between 2017 and 2022, 100 new renewable energy projects became operative and 32 projects for 954 MWs started commercial operations in the free market. As of the date of this Annual Report, 73 projects for a total of 1,525 MWs were under development, distributed in 19 of the 23 provinces.

Together with the measures designed to increase supply, the Government sought to increase tariffs with a view to eliminating subsidies. These later set of measures suffered judicial challenge and were initially delayed in their implementation. Ultimately, the effectiveness of these measures was further undermined by the impact of the continued depreciation of the peso. Finally, the Government sought to reduce the burden of energy subsidies mainly for the Greater Buenos Aires region on the federal budget by transferring the responsibility and cost of these measures to the provincial governments.

With respect to natural gas, in 2012, the Government launched "Gas Plans" to promote gas production, whereby the production of "new" gas above the decline rate of the fields was paid at U.S.$7.5/MBTU. In 2017, Resolution 46/2017, established a price for additional production of non-conventional gas of U.S.$7.5/MBTU for 2017 and 2018, reduced to a price of U.S.$7.0/MBTU for 2019, U.S.$6.5/MBTU for 2020 and U.S.$6.0/MBTU for 2021. After a transitional period involving regulation of wellhead prices, commencing in 2018, the negotiation of prices between distribution companies and domestic producers of natural gas and intermediaries is free.

------

In November 2020, the Government announced a plan aimed at ensuring that the level of gas production is adequate to supply the increased summer demand (the "Plan GasAr"). The most relevant aspects of Plan GasAr are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Plan GasAr will be implemented through direct contracts between gas producers, on the one hand, and gas
distributors and/or sub-distributors (to satisfy priority demand) and CAMMESA (the wholesale electricity market administrator, to satisfy demand of thermal power plants), on the other. Contracts will be
awarded and negotiated through, and the price of gas in Transport System Entering Point ("TSEP") will arise from, an auction, tender and/or similar procedure to be designed by the Secretariat of Energy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Plan GasAr shall have an initial duration of four years, which may be extended by the Secretariat of Energy
for additional periods of one year each based on its analysis of the gas market, demand volumes and investment possibilities in infrastructure. For off-shore projects, a longer term of up to eight years may be
contemplated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Plan GasAr shall be for a total volume of 70 mmcm/d for the 365 days of each year in which it is in place,
and certain additional volumes for the winter seasonal period of each of the four years.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Producers must present an investment plan to reach the committed injection volumes and be bound to achieve a
production curve per basin that guarantees the maintenance and/or increase of current levels of production.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Participating producing companies received preferential conditions for exports under firm condition according to
the gas balances. The benefits for exports applied both to the export of natural gas through pipelines and to its liquefaction in Argentina and subsequent export as liquefied natural gas. In 2024, the trade of a portion of the available gas was
released to open market.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Government may assume on a monthly basis payment of a portion of the price of natural gas in the TSEP, to
mitigate the impact of the cost of natural gas to be transferred to end users.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Central Bank must establish appropriate mechanisms to guarantee the repatriation of direct investments and
their respective returns and/or the payment of principal and interest of foreign financings, provided that such funds have been transferred to Argentina and exchanged into pesos through the Argentine Foreign Exchange Market following the adoption of
Plan GasAr, and are actually used to finance projects under the Plan GasAr.

In addition, the Plan GasAr contemplates various sanctions for failures by participating entities to fulfill their commitments.

In March 2021, the Secretariat of Energy published a technical report corresponding to a public hearing scheduled for that month to discuss the portion of the total cost of gas required to supply the priority demand in 2021, which the Government will be responsible for contributing pursuant to the Plan GasAr, and how it is going to be transferred to end users. According to such technical report, as of March 2021, the Government was funding 60% of the total cost of the natural gas necessary to satisfy the priority demand, which represents an annualized fiscal expense of Ps.133.0 billion in 2021.

During 2022, the construction of the Néstor Kirchner Gas Pipeline connecting the provinces of Neuquén and Buenos Aires made headway. The gas pipeline is expected to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increase gas transportation capacity from the *Vaca Muerta* formation to the main consumption centers in the
country by 11 million m<sup>3</sup> per day;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increase gas supply to end-users and power generation plants that supply
the Buenos Aires Metropolitan area;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• replace fuel imports by U.S.$2.2 billion per year, decreasing foreign currency demand; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increase direct and indirect employment and support the development of suppliers.

Operations of the first stage of the Néstor Kirchner Gas Pipeline started in October 2024. As of the date of this Annual Report, negotiations to finance the second section of the pipeline are undergoing.

According to the technical report published by the Secretariat of Energy in May 2022, the Government was financing 75.60% of the total cost of natural gas needed to meet the priority demand, which represents an annual expenditure of Ps.275.1 billion for 2022. In August 2022, the Government implemented a tariff segmentation scheme aimed at organizing electricity and gas subsidies based on the economic capacity of each household. The scheme foresees the creation of a registry for households in need of subsidies. With the objective of achieving reasonable and fair tariffs for the prices of electricity, gas, and water, the scheme divides households into three groups, and reduces existing subsidies depending on the income group to which each household corresponds to. The categories are as follows:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *High-income households*: corresponds to those households that meet any of the following criteria
(considering all members of the household):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total monthly household income equal to or higher than Ps.389,543. For households located in the district of
Patagones (Buenos Aires), or the provinces of Chubut, La Pampa, Neuquén, Río Negro, Santa Cruz or Tierra del Fuego, the total monthly household income must be equal to or higher than Ps.475,242.46;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Have three or more motor vehicles that are less than five years old;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Own three or more properties; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Own a boat, a luxury aircraft or corporate assets that demonstrate high income.

Pursuant to the tariff segmentation scheme, subsidies for high-income households will gradually be phased out.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Medium-income households*: corresponds to those households that do not fall in the high-income category and
meet any of the following criteria (considering all members of the household):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total monthly household income between Ps.111,298 and Ps.389,542. For households with a member that holds a
certificate of disability, the total monthly household income may vary between Ps.166,947 and Ps.389,542;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Own up to two properties; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Own up to one motor vehicle that is less than three years old.

The tariff segmentation scheme authorizes an increase in tariffs for medium-income households equal to 80% of CVS (as defined herein), corresponding to an approximately 42.7% increase in tariffs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Low-income households*: corresponds to those households that do not
fall in the prior categories and meet any of the following conditions (considering all members of the household):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total monthly household income lower than Ps.111,298. For households with a member that holds a certificate of
disability, the total monthly household income must be lower than Ps.166,947;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Own up to one property; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Do not own a vehicle that is less than 3 years old. However, households with a member that holds a certificate of
disability may own up to 1 vehicle that is less than 3 years old.

Further, households that are not high-income households and certify certain specific situations are also considered low-income households equal to 40% of the CVS, corresponding to an approximately 21.3% increase in tariffs.

The tariff segmentation scheme authorizes an increase in tariffs for low-income households.

In September 2022, due to the increases in natural gas production, particularly in the Neuquén Basin, and the increase in transportation capacity after the construction of the Néstor Kirchner Gas Pipeline, the Government announced the extension of Plan GasAr until 2028.

In December 2023, through the enactment of Decree No. 55/2023, the Government declared a state of emergency for Argentina's national energy sector, covering electricity generation, transportation, and distribution, as well as natural gas transportation and distribution until the end of 2024, which was subsequently extended until July 9, 2026 by Decrees No. 1023/24 and 370/25. This measure aimed to ensure the continuous provision of these essential services under appropriate technical and economic conditions for both service providers and users. Decree No. 70/2023 extended the emergency to broader economic, financial, and social matters until December 31, 2025, in response to the severe economic crisis in Argentina.

In 2024, to stabilize the energy sector, tariff adjustments were implemented by the Secretariat of Energy, with temporary postponements during mid-2024 to support the disinflation process, including measures to reform the energy sector, focusing on adjusting subsidies in line with Decree No. 332/2022, which established user segmentation based on income. Public hearings were convened to ensure transparency and citizen participation, particularly regarding changes to the subsidy regime, in compliance with previous legal rulings on tariffs and subsidies. In addition, through the enactment of Decree No. 465/2024, the Government modified the subsidy regime and introduced a transition period until the end of 2024, which was subsequently extended until July 9, 2026 by Decree No. 370/25. The new regime is aimed at moving from a generalized subsidy regime to one targeting vulnerable users, by reducing overlapping subsidies while gradually passing real energy prices to end-users, particularly those in middle- and low-income categories. The transition to the new regime involved a segmentation of users for cost-related tariff adjustments, limits in subsidized energy consumption and the elimination of the automatic inclusion of users in subsidy registries, among others.

------

Price and tariff updates for electricity and gas were resumed from August 2024 to avoid distortions and preserve the economic sustainability of the energy sector. On May 1, 2025, the Government approved updates to the tariffs for transportation and distribution of energy for the following five years. The revised subsidy framework seeks to balance fiscal consolidation with social protection, focusing on vulnerable sectors while gradually correcting energy tariffs to reflect true costs.

During 2020, the year-on-year increase in the price of energy in the wholesale electricity market for end-users totaled 4% (Ps.2,154/MWh on average as of December 31, 2020 compared to Ps.2,079/MWh as of December 31, 2019 on average), while the decrease in the price of natural gas for residential end-users was 2.6% (Ps.180/MMBtu on average as of December 31, 2020 compared to Ps.185/MMBtu on average as of December 31, 2019).

During 2021, the year-on-year increase in the price of energy in the wholesale electricity market for end-users totaled 14% (Ps.2,448/MWh on average as of December 31, 2021 compared to Ps.2,154/MWh as of December 31, 2020 on average), while the increase in the price of natural gas for residential end-users was 14% (Ps.205/MMBtu on average as of December 31, 2021 compared to Ps.180/MMBtu on average as of December 31, 2020).

During 2022, the year-on-year increase in the price of energy in the wholesale electricity market for end-users totaled 90% (Ps.4,652/MWh on average as of December 31, 2022 compared to Ps.2,448/MWh as of December 31, 2021 on average), while the increase in the price of natural gas for residential end-users was 82% (Ps.373/MMBtu on average as of December 31, 2022 compared to Ps.205/MMBtu on average as of December 31, 2021).

During 2023, the year-on-year increase in the price of energy in the wholesale electricity market for end-users totaled 115% (Ps.10,025/MWh on average as of December 31, 2023 compared to Ps.4,652/MWh as of December 31, 2022 on average), while the decrease in the price of natural gas for residential end-users was 68% (U.S.$0.75/MMBtu on average as of December 31, 2023 compared to U.S.$2.35/MMBtu on average as of December 31, 2022), mainly as a result of the increase in the exchange rate.

During 2024, the year-on-year increase in the price of energy in the wholesale electricity market for end-users totaled 345% (Ps. 44,568/MWh on average as of December 31, 2024 compared to 10,025/MWh as of December 31, 2023 on average), while the increase in the price of natural gas for residential end-users was 2.53% (U.S.$2.00/MMBtu on average as of December 31, 2024 compared to U.S.$1.95/MMBtu on average as of December 31, 2023), mainly as a result of the increase in the exchange rate.

***Incentive Regime for Large Investments***

On July 8, 2024, the Government issued Law No. 27,742, approving an incentive regime for large investments known as RIGI, which is aimed at providing predictability, legal certainty and setting clear rules for the development of large investments, particularly those with export potential, and therefore boosting employment and growth. The RIGI seeks to develop investments in strategic sectors such as oil and gas, mining, renewable energies, forestry, steel, technology, infrastructure and tourism. To qualify for the regime, several requirements must be met, including a minimum investment of U.S.$200 million and the submission of both an application and a detailed investment plan. Each project is subject to approval by an evaluation committee responsible for reviewing applications to join the RIGI.

***Privatization Policy***

The Milei administration has also announced goals to privatize several state-owned companies across various industries, as permitted by Law No. 27,742, which authorized the total or partial privatization of certain companies wholly or majority owned by the State. This privatization initiative is part of the Milei administration's broader goal of reducing government spending, modernizing the public sector, and promoting a leaner and more efficient public administration.

except Rawson, Trelew, San Nicolás, Villa Constitución, Concordia, Gran Paraná, Gran Mendoza, Gran Resistencia, Gran San Juan, La Rioja, Santiago del Estero, La Banda, which are not covered under the current methodology due to
resource constraints in such cities.

(2) The labor force consists of the sum of the employed population and the population that is unemployed but
actively seeking employment.

(3) Employed population as a percentage of the labor force. To be considered employed, a person above the minimum
age requirement must have worked a minimum of (i) one hour with remuneration, or (ii) 15 hours without remuneration during the week preceding the date of measurement.

(4) Unemployed population as a percentage of the labor force. The unemployed population does not include the
underemployed population.

(5) Underemployed population as a percentage of the labor force. Workers are considered underemployed if they work
fewer than 35 hours per week and wish to work more.

***The Informal Economy***

Argentina's economy has an informal segment composed primarily of employees not registered with Argentina's social security system but conducting legitimate businesses. Because of its nature, the informal segment of Argentina's economy cannot be readily tracked through statistical information or other reliable data activities.

Activities include small businesses, usually those owned by individuals and families, that produce and exchange legal goods and services but may not have the appropriate business permits, report their tax liability, comply with labor regulations or have legal guarantees in place for suppliers and end users. As of the fourth quarter of 2024, the Ministry of Economy (based on INDEC's EPH) estimates that the informal economy employed 36.1% of the total labor force compared to 32.7% as of the fourth quarter of 2020.

***Labor Regulation***

Labor unions in Argentina exercise significant influence in the collective bargaining process. Both local and federal unions have staged various strikes in recent years to protest for salary increases. Strikes and demonstrations tend to have brief but significant impacts on transportation, and succeed in bringing production in various sectors of the economy to a temporary halt, in most cases for periods of only a few days.

***Wages and Labor Productivity***

The Ministry of Employment and Social Security, through the Wage Council, sets a single minimum wage annually for all sectors of the economy, based on macroeconomic indicators such as GDP growth and inflation. The minimum monthly wage for public and private employees was increased by 22.0% in 2020, 55.4% in 2021, 93.6% in 2022, 151.8% in 2023 and 79.3% in 2024, in each case as compared to the previous year and considering data as of December of each year.

**Poverty and Income Distribution** 

The measurement of poverty is based on a basket of goods and services (consisting primarily of food, clothing, transportation, health care, housing and education), which is considered the minimum necessary to sustain an individual. "Essential goods and services" in the basket that the Government has subsidized include natural gas, electricity, bus transportation and suburban and urban mass transportation, rail transportation, subway transportation, fuel and education.

In the second half of 2020, 31.6% of Argentina's households and 42.0% of the population stood below the poverty line, while 7.8% of the households and 10.5% of the population stood below the extreme poverty line.

In the second half of 2021, 27.9% of Argentina's households and 37.3% of the population stood below the poverty line, while 6.1% of the households and 8.2% of the population stood below the extreme poverty line.

In the second half of 2022, 29.6% of Argentina's households and 39.2% of the population stood below the poverty line, while 6.2% of the households and 8.1% of the population stood below the extreme poverty line.

In the second half of 2023, 31.8% of Argentina's households and 41.7% of the population stood below the poverty line, while 8.7% of the households and 11.9% of the population stood below the extreme poverty line.

In the second half of 2024, 28.6% of Argentina's households and 38.1% of the population stood below the poverty line, while 6.4% of the households and 8.2% of the population stood below the extreme poverty line.

(1) The poverty line is based on the estimated cost of a basket of essential goods and services during a given
period, which varies depending on the characteristics of each individual and each household. For instance, men between the ages of 30 and 60 who earned less than Ps.331,532.43 per month during December 2024 lived below the poverty line. For
households, a family of four (two adults, one male age 35 and one female age 31, and two children ages 6 and 8) that earned in total less than Ps.1,024,435.21 per month during December 2024 lived below the poverty line.

INDEC's assessment of the essential goods and services basket for the Greater Buenos Aires area indicated that a standard family required Ps.1,024,435.21 to gain access to the essential goods and services basket in December 2024, compared to Ps.495,798.3 in December 2023.

According to INDEC, in December 2024, the essential food basket for households stood at Ps.449,313.69, compared to Ps. 240,678.8 in December 2023.

From the fourth quarter of 2020 to the fourth quarter of 2024, the top 10% of the population in Argentina, in terms of annual income, increased their contribution to the total national income by approximately 1.2 percentage points, while the top 20% of the population in Argentina, in terms of annual income, increased their contribution to the total national income by 1.1 percentage points. During the same period, the bottom 40% of the population's contribution to the total national income decreased their contribution by 0.7%.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, the top 10% of the population in Argentina accounted for 32.0% of total national income, the top 20% of the population accounted for 48.4% of total national income and the bottom 40% of the population accounted for 13.9% of the total national income.

**Environment** 

Beginning in 2002, Argentina has initiated various measures to regulate, monitor and improve environmental standards. The majority of these measures require industrial companies to meet increasingly stringent safety standards.

------

In 2002, Argentina enacted the *Ley General de Medioambiente* (General Environment Law), ratifying the formation of the *Consejo Federal de Medioambiente* (Federal Environmental Council), responsible for the creation of a comprehensive environmental policy, the coordination of regional and national programs and strategies for environmental management, the formulation of policies for the sustainable use of environmental resources, the promotion of economic development and growth planning, the supervision of and conduct environmental impact studies, the establishment of environmental standards, and for carrying out comparative studies and managing the international financing of environmental projects. In addition, as a member of the Kyoto Protocol, Argentina has implemented various regulations aimed at curbing greenhouse gas emissions.

Measures enacted to strengthen monitoring and enforcement to ensure compliance with environmental standards include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Law No. 26,011, which was enacted in 2007, approved the Stockholm Agreement relating to persistent organic
contaminants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the *Proyecto de Desarrollo Sustentable de la Cuenca Matanza* – *Riachuelo* (Cuenca Matanza
– Riachuelo Sustainable Development Program) earmarks a portion of its funds for use in purchasing computing equipment to strengthen the *Autoridad de Cuenca Matanza Riachuelo* (Cuenca Matanza Riachuelo Authority) under the supervision of
the *Secretaría de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sustentable de la Jefatura de Gabinete de Ministros* (Department for Environmental and Sustainable Development of the Cabinet of Ministers). In March 2016, the Government signed an agreement with
the World Bank to finance the Cuenca Matanza – Riachuelo Sustainable Development Program for a total cost of approximately U.S.$1 billion;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Proyecto Nacional para la Gestión Integral de los Residuos Sólidos Urbanos* (National Project
for the Management of Urban Solid Waste) is the first national project aimed at implementing solutions to waste problems through sustainable measures. The project provides technical and financial assistance for the development of infrastructure and
related systems as an incentive for provinces and municipalities to develop their own plans and comprehensive management systems;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Unidad de Medio Ambiente* (Environmental Unit) supports sustainable industrial development in Argentina by
promoting environmental factors as a means of improving efficiency and competitiveness;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *El Fondo integral para el Desarrollo Regional* (FONDER) finances the development of productive activities
and services focused on the needs of medium- small- and micro- enterprises ("MSMEs") and sectors with the aim of promoting job creation, increasing exports and developing local markets; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In June 2021, Congress enacted Law No. 27,621 establishing environmental education at all grade levels to
raise awareness on the importance of environmental protection.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• During 2024, the Government strengthened the *Fondo Nacional Para el Enriquecimiento y la Conservacion de los Bosques Nativos* (National Fund for the Enrichment and Conservation of Native Forests) through the approval of 203 management and conservation plans. In addition, the Government increased the capacity of the *Servicio Nacional de Manejo del Fuego* (National Fire Management Service) by allowing for the training of 2,390 technicians and firefighters in 19 provinces, deploying aircraft, and preparing technical reports to anticipate critical situations and plan strategic responses.

**BALANCE OF PAYMENTS** 

**Overview** 

Since June 2017, the Republic reports balance of payments statistics pursuant to a methodology based on the classification criteria set forth in the sixth edition of the Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Balance of payments accounts are used to record the value of the transactions carried out between a country's residents and the rest of the world. Argentina's balance of payments is comprised of three accounts:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the current account, which reflects a broad measure of the country's international trade (goods and
services), primary income (retribution for the temporary use of labor, financial resources or non-produced nonfinancial assets) and secondary income (current transfers for goods and investment income) between
residents and non-residents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the capital account, which shows credit and debit entries for non-produced, non-financial assets as well as capital transfers between residents and non-residents; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the financial account, which registers net acquisition and disposal of financial assets and liabilities between
residents and non-residents.

In 2024, the Republic's current account registered a surplus of U.S.$5.7 billion, compared to a deficit of U.S.$20.7 billion in 2023. This deficit increase was primarily due to a U.S.$12.7 billion increase in exports of goods and a U.S.$12.5 billion decrease in import of goods.

In 2024, the Republic's capital account registered a U.S.$268 million surplus, representing a U.S.$81 million increase from the U.S.$187.0 million surplus recorded in 2023, mainly due to an increase in the sale of non-financial assets.

In 2024, the Republic's financial account registered net outflows of U.S.$1.5 billion, mainly driven by the purchase of U.S.$6.1 billion in reserve assets.

The following table sets forth information on the Republic's balance of payments for the periods specified.

**Current Account** 

The Republic's current account is comprised of the merchandise trade balance, trade in services, primary income (compensation of personnel and revenue from investment) and secondary income (current transfers). The current account registered deficits for the years 2022 and 2023, and a surplus in 2020, 2021 and 2024.

The most important drivers of the current account deficits in 2022 and 2023 were:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• deficits in the primary income account, mainly due to interest and dividend payments; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• deficits in the trade of services account, mainly due to deficits related to freight and passenger
transportation, tourism and royalties.

The main driver of the current account surplus in 2020, 2021 and 2024 was the surplus in the trade of goods account.

In 2020, the current account registered a U.S.$2.7 billion surplus, compared to the U.S.$3.5 billion deficit in 2019. This variation in the current account balance was mainly due to a U.S.$7.2 billion decrease in the primary income account deficit, mainly due to a U.S.$7.2 billion decrease in investment earnings, a U.S.$4.6 billion decrease in portfolio investment outflows and a U.S.$3.0 billion decrease in direct investment outflows. The trade of goods and services account registered a U.S.$12.1 billion surplus in 2020 compared to a U.S.$13.4 billion surplus in 2019. This decrease in surplus was primarily driven by a U.S.$3.6 billion decrease in the trade of goods account.

In 2021, the current account registered a U.S.$6.6 billion surplus, compared to the U.S.$2.7 billion surplus in 2020. This variation in the current account balance was mainly due to a U.S.$4.1 billion increase in the trade of goods account, a U.S.$2.7 billion decrease in portfolio investment outflow and a U.S.$0.5 billion decrease in other investment outflows. The trade of goods and services account registered a U.S.$15.0 billion surplus in 2021 compared to a U.S.$12.1 billion surplus in 2020. This increase in surplus was primarily driven by a U.S.$23.0 billion increase in the exports of goods account.

In 2022, the current account registered a U.S.$4.0 billion deficit, compared to a U.S.$6.6 billion surplus in 2021. This variation in the current account balance was mainly due to a U.S.$6.3 billion decrease in the trade of goods account, a U.S.$3.1 billion decrease in the trade of services account and a U.S.$1.1 billion increase in direct investment outflows. The trade of goods and services account registered a U.S.$5.6 billion surplus in 2022 compared to a U.S.$15.0 billion surplus in 2021. This decrease in surplus was primarily driven by a U.S.$17.0 billion increase in the import of goods account and a U.S.$7.9 billion increase in the import of services account.

In 2023, the current account registered a U.S.$20.8 billion deficit, compared to a U.S.$4.0 billion deficit in 2022. This variation in the current account balance was mainly due to a U.S.$15.2 billion decrease in the trade of goods account, a U.S.$2.4 billion increase in investment earnings outflows, a U.S.$1.4 billion increase in other investment outflows and a U.S.$1.7 billion increase in direct investment outflows. The trade of goods and services account registered a U.S.$8.9 billion deficit in 2023 compared to a U.S.$5.6 billion surplus in 2022. This variation in the trade of goods and services account balance was primarily driven by a U.S.$21.7 billion decrease in the export of goods account, which was partially offset by a U.S.$6.5 billion decrease in the import of goods account.

------

In 2024, the current account registered a U.S.$5.7 billion surplus, compared to a U.S.$20.8 billion surplus in 2023. This variation in the current account balance was mainly due to a U.S.$25.2 billion increase in the trade of goods account, a U.S.$0.3 billion increase in the trade of services account and a U.S.$0.7 billion decrease in direct investment outflows. The trade of goods and services account registered a U.S.$16.7 billion surplus in 2024 compared to a U.S.$8.9 billion deficit in 2023. This variation was primarily driven by a U.S.$12.7 billion increase in the export of goods account and a U.S.$12.5 billion decrease in the import of goods account.

***Trade Regulation***

Until the beginning of the 1990s, Argentina had a relatively closed economy modeled around import substitution policies with significant trade barriers. Although certain reforms were pursued from the 1960s through the 1980s to liberalize trade, it was only during the 1990s that the Government implemented significant trade liberalization measures.

Trade policies remained relatively stable during the 1990s, marked by few export tariffs and low import tariffs in certain sectors of the economy. Following the collapse of the Convertibility Regime in 2002, the Government introduced trade measures intended to increase Government revenues, stem the outflow of foreign currencies, manage the pricing of basic goods (including by discouraging exports) and protect local industries.

***Trade with MERCOSUR Countries***

*Framework* 

In addition to Argentina, the MERCOSUR Member States include Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and, commencing in 2012, Venezuela. Since December 2016, Venezuela's status as a full member has been suspended by the other Member States. See "The Republic of Argentina—Foreign Affairs and International Organizations—MERCOSUR." In July 2015, Bolivia signed a protocol to become a full member of MERCOSUR, which remains subject to ratification by the national congresses of Brazil, Paraguay and Bolivia. MERCOSUR's objective is to gradually integrate the economies of its member countries through the elimination of trade barriers, the harmonization of macroeconomic policies and the establishment of a common external tariff and a common external trade policy. See, however, "The Republic of Argentina—Foreign Affairs and International Organizations."

------

*Trade* 

Trade among MERCOSUR Member States increased significantly in the 10 years leading up to 2010, but has decreased ever since. This decline has occurred in the context of deteriorating external and internal economic conditions. This negative performance has been a widespread phenomenon affecting all Member States.

Argentina's trade with MERCOSUR Member States reached U.S.$35.7 billion in 2024, representing 25.4% of Argentina's total trade. Argentine exports to the other MERCOSUR Member States amounted to U.S.$17.2 billion, equivalent to 21.6% of Argentina's total global exports, while imports from MERCOSUR amounted to U.S.$18.5 billion, equivalent to 30.4% of Argentina's total imports. Argentina registered a U.S.$1.3 billion trade deficit with MERCOSUR in 2024, as compared to U.S.$6.7 billion deficit in 2023. This variation was primarily due to a decrease in the trade deficit with Brazil, from a U.S.$5.5 billion deficit in 2023 to a U.S.$0.7 billion deficit in 2024.

***Brazil***

Brazil is Argentina's primary export market and source of imports. Manufactured goods of industrial origin account for approximately 62.4% of total exports. In 2024, the main imports from Brazil included intermediate goods, which totaled U.S.$5.2 billion, and parts and accessories goods which totaled U.S.$3.2 billion. Main exports to Brazil in 2024 were manufactured goods of industrial origin, which totaled U.S.$8.5 billion, followed by manufactured goods of agricultural origin, which totaled U.S.$2.2 billion. In 2024, Argentina's trade deficit with Brazil was U.S.$0.7 billion, compared to a deficit of U.S.$5.5 billion in 2023, driven by a 17.5% decrease in total imports from Brazil and a 14.7% increase in exports.

The increase in exports to Brazil in 2024 as compared to 2023 was mainly the result of a 38.5% increase in exports of primary goods and a 14.9% increase in manufactured goods of industrial origin.

The decrease in imports from Brazil in 2024 as compared to 2023 was driven by a 38.5% decrease in imports of intermediate goods and a 17.7% decrease in imports of parts and accessories of capital goods.

***China***

China is one of Argentina's main trade partners. Imports from China include mainly chemical products, machinery and electronic devices, motorcycles and engines with small cylinder volumes, and toys. Exports to China include mainly agricultural commodities, such as wheat, soy and corn, as well as meat and its derivative products.

In 2024, imports from China included mainly intermediate goods, which totaled U.S.$3.9 billion, capital goods, which totaled U.S.$3.2 billion, and spare parts and accessories, which totaled U.S.$2.6 billion. Exports to China in 2024 were mainly primary products for U.S.$3.0 billion, followed by manufactured products of agricultural origin, which totaled U.S.$2.4 billion. In 2024, Argentina's trade deficit with China was U.S.$5.6 billion, as compared to U.S.$9.3 billion in 2023.

Total imports from China decreased by 19.8% in 2024 as compared to 2023, mainly due to a decrease in imports of spare parts and accessories.

Total exports to China increased by 14.7% in 2024 as compared to 2023, mainly due to a 36.7% increase in exports of primary products and a 19.4% increase in exports of manufactured goods of industrial origin.

***United States***

Historically, the United States has been one of Argentina's most important trade partners. Manufactured goods constitute a significant share of Argentine exports to the United States, while capital and intermediate goods constitute a significant share of Argentina's imports from the United States.

In 2024, imports from the United States included mainly fuel, which totaled U.S.$1.3 billion, intermediate goods, which totaled U.S.$2.4 billion, and spare parts and accessories, which totaled U.S.$1.1 billion. Exports to the United States for the same period were mainly fuel, which totaled U.S.$2.3 billion, followed by manufactured products of industrial origin, which totaled U.S.$2.1 billion. In 2024, Argentina's trade surplus with the United States was U.S.$0.3 billion, as compared to a deficit of U.S.$2.9 billion in 2023, mainly due to a 27.9% decrease in total imports from the United States.

The decrease in imports from the United States in 2024 as compared to 2023 was mainly the result of decreases in imports of fuel and intermediate goods by 59.2% and 19.9%, respectively.

------

The increase in exports to the United States in 2024 as compared to 2023 was primarily due to a 35.8% increase in manufactured products of agricultural origin and a 16.3% increase in exports of fuel and energy.

***Trade of Services***

The services trade balance records the amount of services (including financial services, but excluding payments of interest, dividends and other income) that Argentine residents purchase outside Argentina, relative to the amount of services that non-residents purchase in Argentina. For instance, a deficit in service trade indicates that the value of services purchased by Argentine residents outside Argentina exceeds the value of services purchased in Argentina by non-residents. Argentina's services account also factors in partially in Argentina's overall level of trade in goods since it includes the freight and insurance services associated with export and import transactions.

In 2020, net outflows recorded by the trade of services account decreased by U.S.$2.3 billion to U.S.$2.5 billion, as a result of a decrease in outflows on account of services, which surpassed the decrease in inflows on account of services. Specifically, the decrease in net outflows recorded by the trade of services account in 2020 was due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 55.5% decrease in net outflows in the tourism account, from U.S.$2.6 billion in 2019 to
U.S.$1.2 billion in 2020; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 56.2% decrease in net outflows in the transportation account, from U.S.$2.0 billion in 2019 to
U.S.$0.9 billion in 2020.The table below sets forth the net results of Argentina's services trade for the periods specified.

In 2021, net outflows recorded by the trade of services account increased by U.S.$1.2 billion to U.S.$3.7 billion, as a result of an increase in outflows on account of services, which was partially offset by an increase in inflows on account of services. Specifically, the increase in net outflows recorded by the trade of services account in 2021 was due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 19.9% increase in net outflows in royalties, from U.S.$0.9 billion in 2020 to U.S.$1.1 billion in
2021; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 131.9% increase in net outflows in the transportation account, from U.S.$0.9 billion in 2020 to
U.S.$2.0 billion in 2021.

In 2022, net outflows recorded by the trade of services account increased by U.S.$3.1 billion to U.S.$6.8 billion, as a result of an increase in outflows on account of services, which was partially offset by an increase in inflows on account of services. Specifically, the increase in net outflows recorded by the trade of services account in 2022 was due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 117.4% increase in net outflows in tourism, from U.S.$1.0 billion in 2021 to U.S.$2.1 billion in
2022; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 108.0% increase in net outflows in the transportation account, from U.S.$2.0 billion in 2021 to
U.S.$4.2 billion in 2022.

In 2023, net outflows recorded by the trade of services account decreased by U.S.$0.7 billion to U.S.$6.0 billion, as a result of an increase in inflows on account of services, which was partially offset by an increase in outflows on account of services. Specifically, the decrease in net outflows recorded by the trade of services account in 2023 was due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 13.1% decrease in net outflows in tourism, from U.S.$2.1 billion in 2022 to U.S.$1.8 billion in 2023;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 17.9% decrease in net outflows in the transportation account, from U.S.$4.2 billion in 2022 to
U.S.$3.4 billion in 2023.

In 2024, net outflows recorded by the trade of services account decreased by U.S.$0.3 billion to U.S.$5.7 billion, as a result of an increase in inflows on account of services. Specifically, the decrease in net outflows recorded by the trade of services account in 2024 was due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 36.4% increase in net inflows in professional, technical and business services, from U.S.$1.8 billion in
2023 to U.S.$2.5 billion in 2024; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 25.2% decrease in net outflows in the transportation account, from U.S.$3.4 billion in 2023 to
U.S.$2.6 billion in 2024.

***Foreign Direct Investment***

Direct investment in Argentina increased significantly in the 1990s following the implementation of the Convertibility Regime and the elimination of barriers to foreign investment. A significant portion of the capital inflows in the early to mid-1990s resulted from the privatization of state-owned entities that attracted private foreign capital. Net direct investment in Argentina peaked in 1999 with the completion of the privatization of YPF, a process that had started in 1992. Commencing in 2002, the macro-economic policies and the expropriation of private companies, including 51% of the shares of YPF, resulted in a significant decline in capital inflows from direct investment.

In 2020, net inflows from direct investment decreased by U.S.$1.4 billion to U.S.$3.7 billion, as compared to U.S.$5.1 billion in 2019. This decrease was mainly driven by a U.S.$1.8 billion decrease in investments made in Argentina by non-residents.

In 2021, net inflows from direct investment increased by U.S.$1.4 billion to U.S.$5.1 billion, as compared to U.S.$3.7 billion in 2020. This increase was mainly driven by a U.S.$1.8 billion increase in investments made by non-residents.

In 2022, net inflows from direct investment increased by U.S.$8.0 billion to U.S.$13.1 billion, as compared to U.S.$5.1 billion in 2021. This increase was mainly driven by a U.S.$8.5 billion increase in direct investments by non-residents.

------

In 2023, net inflows from direct investment increased by U.S.$8.6 billion to U.S.$21.7 billion, as compared to U.S.$13.1 billion in 2022. This increase was mainly driven by an U.S.$9.6 billion increase in direct investments by non-residents.

In 2024, net inflows from direct investment decreased by U.S.$12.8 billion to U.S.$8.9 billion, as compared to U.S.$21.7 billion in 2023. This decrease was mainly driven by a U.S.$13.1 billion decrease in direct investments by non-residents.

***Portfolio Investment***

Portfolio investments, consisting of the purchase of stocks, bonds or other securities, tend to be highly liquid and short-term, making them particularly responsive to fluctuations in the market.

In 2020, net outflows from portfolio investment totaled U.S.$1.6 billion compared to net outflows of U.S.$7.1 billion in 2019, mainly due to a decrease in the purchase of net financial assets.

In 2022, net outflows from portfolio investment totaled U.S.$7.5 billion compared to net outflows of U.S.$4.9 billion in 2021, mainly due to an increase in the payment of net debts. Net outflows from derivative financial instruments totaled U.S.$4.0 million in 2022, compared to U.S.$16 million net inflows in 2021.

In 2023, net outflows from portfolio investment totaled U.S.$6.8 billion compared to net outflows of U.S.$7.5 billion in 2022, mainly due to a decrease in the payment of net debts. Net outflows from derivative financial instruments totaled U.S.$10.0 million in 2023, compared to U.S.$4.0 million net outflows in 2022.

In 2024, net outflows from portfolio investment totaled U.S.$4.7 billion compared to net outflows of U.S.$6.8 billion in 2023, mainly due to a decrease in the payment of net debts. Net outflows from derivative financial instruments totaled U.S.$19 million in 2024, compared to U.S.$10.0 million net outflows in 2023.

The Governor of the Central Bank and the members of the board of directors are appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate. They serve for fixed terms of six years, may be reappointed and may be removed by the president only for cause. Under the terms of its charter, the Central Bank must operate independently from the Government.

Under the Central Bank's charter, as most recently amended in 2012, the Central Bank, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• must promote monetary and financial stability, employment and economic growth with social equality;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• is empowered to regulate interest rates and regulate and steer lending activities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• must hold and manage the international reserves, including gold and foreign currency;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• must implement the exchange rate policy in accordance with applicable legislation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• must act as financial agent of the Government and contribute to the proper functioning of capital markets,
regulate any activity connected with the financial system and foreign exchange transactions and protect the rights of consumers of financial services; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• may grant the Government exceptional advances in an amount up to the equivalent of 10% of the revenues collected
by the Government in the preceding 12-month period.

**Monetary Policy** 

***Background***

From 1991 through 2001, Argentina's monetary policy was governed by the Convertibility Law of 1991, which pegged the peso to the U.S. dollar at a one-to-one exchange rate and required the Central Bank to maintain international monetary reserves at least equal to the monetary base (consisting of domestic currency in circulation and financial institutions' peso-denominated deposits with the Central Bank). During the Convertibility Regime, the peso appreciated in real terms and the Central Bank did not have the necessary tools to react to the external shocks that affected the Argentine economy, such as the Mexico Crisis in 1995 and the Asian Crisis in 1997. In addition, commencing in 1995 the Government increased its reliance on the international capital markets to finance its operations, creating additional demand for foreign exchange reserves at the pegged rate. By December 2001, continued capital flight from the Argentine economy had made the Convertibility Regime unsustainable. On January 6, 2002, Congress enacted the Public Emergency Law, effectively bringing an end to the Convertibility Regime by eliminating the requirement that the Central Bank's gross international reserves be at all times equal to at least 100% of the monetary base. The Public Emergency Law abolished the peg between the peso and the U.S. dollar and granted the executive branch the power to regulate the foreign exchange market and to establish exchange rates.

In 2003, the Central Bank implemented a series of measures designed to restore monetary stability and bolster the international reserves of the Central Bank. These measures included the elimination of the quasi-currencies issued by several provinces during the 2001-2002 crisis, the recapitalization of several financial institutions that were affected by the decree mandating asymmetric pesification of their balance sheets in 2002, the adoption of inflation targets intended to limit the impact of an acceleration of economic growth, the expansion of the financial system's lending activities and the encouragement of capital market transactions as a source of financing economic growth. During the last quarter of 2004, the Central Bank began accumulating international monetary reserves and implemented various measures to manage the increasing monetary base.

Starting in the second half of 2007, in response to tightening credit markets and the global financial crisis, the Central Bank intervened in the foreign exchange market to manage increasing volatility in the exchange rate, provided liquidity to local banks and expanded the monetary base. The Central Bank's actions included, among other measures, managing the yields on repo loans, auctioning put options on Lebacs and Nobacs and reducing the minimum reserve requirements in foreign currency for financial institutions. These measures allowed banks to keep their liquidity ratios within appropriate levels and sought to stimulate lending by banks. In late 2009, the Government issued a *Decreto de Necesidad y Urgencia* (emergency decree) making foreign reserves held by the Central Bank available for external debt payments.

------

In 2012, the Central Bank's Charter was amended to expand the Central Bank's mandate, including objectives linked to the real economy, increasing its powers and tools. As a result, the Central Bank began to actively promote credit, particularly credit to productive activities. In addition, the exercise of an active monetary policy and the policy measures aimed at reducing the volatility of the nominal exchange rate required the implementation of capital controls, which were in force since the end of 2011.

In December 2015, the Central Bank allowed the peso to float, eliminated restrictions on foreign exchange and capital flows, and streamlined foreign exchange regulations. In addition, the Central Bank announced its decision to implement a long term monetary policy based on inflation targeting, and to rely on short term interest notes as its primary monetary policy tool. Beginning in January 2017, the Central Bank implemented a formal scheme of inflation targeting, using the 7-day repo reference rate as the anchor of its inflation targeting regime.

***Monetary Policy measures implemented in 2020***

Beginning in December 2019, in a context of economic and social emergency, the Central Bank adjusted various of its policy guidelines, particularly those referring to interest rates and exchange rate management. The Central Bank announced that the level of real interest rate levels must preserve financial and exchange rate stability, and must be compatible with the financing of production and the construction of a longer-term yield curve, favoring savings in domestic currency. A policy of managed floating of the exchange rate was also announced, seeking to prevent sharp fluctuations in the exchange rate from generating negative effects on inflation and growth.

On January 27, 2020, the Central Bank announced the adoption of updated monetary policy guidelines aimed at addressing Argentina's distressed social and economic context and pursuing, in line with the Government's fiscal efforts, the achievement of monetary and financial stability and the promotion of economic development.

The updated monetary policy guidelines allowed the Central Bank to provide Argentina's Ministry of Economy financing to permit the payment of certain external debt obligations and, under exceptional circumstances and within limits that intend to ensure the preservation of a balanced money market, financing to address peso-denominated financial obligations and expenses.

The Central Bank's monetary policy guidelines were based on the following key principles:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Interest Rate*: interest rates will be set at a level that preserve financial and economic stability,
promote a longer term yield curve and encourage savings in local currency by avoiding negative interest rates in real terms;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Prices*: **  inducing a gradual but sustainable inflation reduction path based on a prudent monetary
policy approach, consistent and coordinated with the Government's economic and income policy initiatives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Monetary Aggregates*: maintain monetization levels compatible with long-term growth, avoiding liquidity
imbalances that may have a direct or indirect impact on inflation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Exchange Rate*: adopt a managed floating exchange rate regime to contain large exchange rate variations, to
prioritize the accumulation of foreign exchange reserves;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Credit*: promote the development of the domestic credit market in the short, medium and long term with real
interest rates compatible with productive development; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Activity and employment levels*: design the monetary policy to support the recovery of the internal market,
increase export and foster investment and productivity on a sustainable basis.

Exchange regulations and price moderation related to the limited volatility of the exchange rate allowed for a reduction in the Leliq rate from 55% as of December 31, 2019 to 38% as of December 31, 2020. Further, the swap rate was reduced from 48.13% as of December 31, 2019 to 19% as of March 1, 2020 and to 32% as of December 31, 2020. These reductions in rates allowed the Central Bank to promote productive credit initiatives at negative real interest rates. In addition, the Central Bank made progress in improving yields that, when compared to expected inflation, are expected to provide a positive real return on savings in domestic currency.

The creation of credit lines at subsidized interest rates allowed credit to reach unprecedented growth at constant prices (53% from July 2019 to July 2020), reversing a strong cycle of credit contraction that had begun in mid-2018. In May 2020, to encourage savings in pesos, the Central Bank set annual nominal rates applicable to fixed term deposits at 33.06% for 30-days placements of up to Ps.1 million by individuals, and at 30.02% for all other placements.

In October 2020, in response to increased pressure on the exchange rate, the Central Bank:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• (i) increased the overnight reverse swaps rates from 19% to 30% to increase the return in real rates of
short-term local currency financial instruments, (ii) began offering 7-day swaps with an annual rate of 33%, (iii) set the Leliqs rate at 36% in order to gradually align the Treasury's rates with
the Central Bank's sterilization instrument rates, and (iv) set annual nominal rates applicable to fixed term deposits at 34% for 30-days placements of up to Ps.1 million by individuals, and at
32% for all other placements;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• abandoned the mechanism of preset devaluation, providing greater flexibility and maintaining the competitive
level of the multilateral real exchange rate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• opened a roundtable at the MAE and permitted authorizations to be processed at the Rosario Futures Exchange
(ROFEX) to allow purchases of Renminbi for foreign trade operations. The Central Bank intends to use its reserves in Renminbi to respond to these operations and does not intend to make use of the currency swap with the People's Bank of China;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• allowed investors to access the official market by repatriating investments within the first year of their
realization in order to promote capital inflow through new foreign direct investment.

In mid-November 2020, the Leliq interest rate rose to 38% nominal annually (45.44% effective annually), while the rates at which the Central Bank remunerates 1-day and 7-day term deposits increased to 32% nominal annually (37.7% effective annually) and 36.5% nominal annually (43.9% effective annually), respectively. In the same sense, the minimum guaranteed interest rate for fixed-term deposits was adjusted to 37% nominal annually (44% effective annually) for fixed-term deposits of individuals for up to Ps.1.0 million and 34.0% nominal annually (39.8% effective annually) for all other deposits.

***Monetary Policy measures implemented in 2021***

In 2021, the Central Bank maintained its monetary policy based on the guidelines defined in October 2020.

The measures taken by the Government to strengthen the peso debt market allowed channeling a significant proportion of financing needs through such market, reducing the Central Bank's monetary financial assistance to the Treasury.

At the same time, the Central Bank sought to promote the development of the domestic capital market by allowing financial entities to integrate a percentage of their reserve requirements in Leliqs as well as in peso-denominated securities acquired in primary issuances by the Government (excluding those linked to the U.S. dollar) and with a minimum duration of 180 days. In order to guarantee liquidity at all times, banks were allowed to sell to the Central Bank securities acquired to meet reserve requirements.

The Central Bank maintained the minimum fixed-term and monetary policy interest rates unchanged during the period. The Central Bank and the Government maintained measures to ensure access to credit by MSMEs under favorable conditions. In addition, measures were taken to increase bank financing more broadly to the private sector. See "The Argentine Economy—Background and Recent Economic History—2020-2023."

With regards to foreign exchange policy, the Central Bank complemented its structural objective of accumulating international reserves with a short-term strategy consisting of managing the volatility of the nominal exchange rate to further the anti-inflationary strategy and promote a more efficient allocation of foreign currency through foreign exchange regulation. Regarding the nominal exchange rate, the Central Bank maintained a relatively limited depreciation rate, in order to contribute to the disinflationary process.

***Monetary Policy measures implemented in 2022***

In 2022, the Central Bank resumed the policy guidelines set forth in 2020 aimed at consolidating the growth of the domestic market and exports through monetary and financial stability. The measures adopted by the Central Bank to comply with these guidelines included:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Monetary Policy.* The Central Bank redesigned its monetary policy instruments, with the objective of
(i) improving liquidity management at the financial institution level, (ii) increasing the average maturity of sterilization instruments, by issuing instruments such as the Notaliqs, and (iii) focusing the monetary policy rate on
Leliqs' interest rates. In addition, the Central Bank ceased the use of seven-day swaps among interest-bearing liabilities. Pursuant to the revised monetary policy, overnight reverse repos sterilized
financial institutions' short-term liquidity, while long-term Leliqs addressed structural liquidity. Further, the Central Bank amended regulations so that private sector financial institutions may purchase these instruments up to the amount of
their stock of time deposits.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Benchmark Rates.* The Central Bank increased benchmark rates on saving instruments with the objective of
ensuring that depositors obtained positive returns for savings in pesos. Further, the Central Bank raised the monetary policy interest rates as well as the minimum guaranteed interest rates on fixed-term deposits with the objective of supporting the
demand for saving instruments in domestic currency.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Credit Policy.* In 2022, the Central Bank's credit policy followed the guidelines established in
2021, focusing on sustaining credit assistance to MSMEs. The Central Bank maintained a gradual adjustment of the nominal annual rate for investment projects and the nominal annual rate for working capital mainly to ensure access to credit under
favorable conditions by MSMEs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Treasury Instruments.* The Central Bank sought to reduce the volatility in the prices of treasury
instruments. To that effect, the Central Bank announced its participation in the secondary market of securities issued by the Government with a residual term greater than 15 days, buying at rates similar to those of prior auctions (plus a maximum
spread of 2%) so that yields in the secondary market remained consistent with those determined in the primary market.

Further, the Central Bank decided to incorporate the interest rate of short-term Treasury bills as a reference for monetary policy decisions. This decision was part of the Central Bank's strategy to (i) move towards a structure of positive interest rates in real terms, taking the main financial assets of the economy as a reference, (ii) strengthen the public debt market in pesos, increasing depth and liquidity, and (iii) gradually advance in the use of Treasury instruments as monetary policy instruments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Transfers to the Treasury:* In 2022, the Government moved towards a gradual reduction of transfers from the
Central Bank to the Treasury, establishing a limit equivalent to 1% of GDP for 2022. In addition, the Central Bank established a positive real interest rate structure to strengthen the demand for local currency assets and contribute to the exchange
and financial stability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Exchange rate policy*: The Central Bank (i) gradually accelerated the crawling peg to bring the rate
to levels in line with the domestic inflation rate, and (ii) promoted a more efficient allocation of foreign currency through foreign exchange regulation. Further, the Government introduced a special foreign exchange rate to liquidate soybean
exports to increase export sales and facilitate access to the foreign exchange market. See "—Role of the State in the Economy—Energy Sector Reforms"

***Monetary Policy measures implemented in 2023 by the Fernández Administration***

In 2023, the Central Bank adopted measures aimed at consolidating the growth of the domestic market and exports through monetary and financial stability. The measures adopted by the Central Bank included:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Monetary Policy:* The Central Bank's monetary policy guidelines included (i) the management of
liquidity ratios with the aim of reducing inflation (using Leliqs and Notaliqs, with a 28-day Leliq's rate to monitor monetary policy), (ii) setting interest rates to maintain positive real returns
on investments in pesos and (iii) promotion of the stability and development of the capital market, monitoring the financial balance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Foreign Exchange Policy:* The Central Bank sought to (i) preserve external competitiveness,
(ii) strengthen the position of international reserves and (iii) manage and adjust foreign exchange regulations to ensure monetary and foreign exchange stability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Credit Policy:* The Central Bank stimulated financial intermediation to boost consumption, productive
investment and technological development. Further, the Central Bank adopted measures aimed at promoting the development of credit in pesos for the private sector.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Financial policy:* The Central Bank sought to increase the number of participants in the credit market and
took measures to guarantee the financial stability and solvency of the banking system, while implementing technological improvements aimed at increasing transparency and security. In addition, the Central Bank promoted new agreements with the
provinces, other state agencies and organizations aimed at promoting integration across all sectors of society and to improve financial education. Further, the Central Bank monitored crypto assets and virtual wallets and their impact on financial
institutions. Additionally, the Central Bank promoted measures in connection with sustainable finance within the framework of international and local commitments, including the generation and release of relevant information to assess potential risks
to the stability of the financial system.

In April 2023, the Government announced a currency swap with China for U.S.$1.0 billion aimed at facilitating payments of imports from China. In June 2023, the Central Bank entered into an early renewal of the swap agreement for up to U.S.$19.0 billion for a three-year term. The Central Bank also authorized the opening of renminbi ("RMB") savings and checking accounts, complementing the measure adopted by the CNV to enable negotiation of securities in RMB.

In May 2023, the Central Bank increased the monetary policy rate by 600 basis points to reach 97%. Further, the Central Bank increased the minimum interest rate on time deposits for individuals, increasing the minimum rate on 30-day time deposits of up to Ps.30 million to 97% and the rest of the private sector time deposits to 90%. In addition, the rate for the financing of unpaid credit card balances was reduced from 88% to 86%. Additionally, the Central Bank authorized the application of the pre-financing system of exports to imports' payments, which enabled importers to finance approximately U.S.$3 billion.

------

In August 2023, the Board increased the minimum rate on 30-day time deposits from 97% to 118%, and it increased it again to 133% in October 2023, while maintaining the rate for other private sector time deposits at 126%.

***Monetary Policy measures implemented in 2023 by the Milei Administration***

One of the first measures implemented by Milei's administration on December 11, 2023 was to apply the rule of prior conformity to all demand transactions carried out through the foreign exchange market, aimed at analyzing which transactions required priority to access the foreign exchange market during a transition period and facilitating the adoption of new measures. On December 12, 2023, the Central Bank introduced a new monetary policy framework, focusing on eliminating the fiscal deficit financed by monetary issuance to achieve fiscal equilibrium. This framework also sought to address regulatory issues, correct relative prices, and clean up the Central Bank's balance sheet by recovering international reserves and managing remunerated liabilities.

On December 13, 2023, the Central Bank depreciated the nominal currency exchange rate to stabilize the MULC and set the exchange rate at Ps.799.98 per U.S. dollar, from Ps.366.5 per U.S. dollar on December 12, 2023. This rate was intended as a temporary anchor for inflation expectations, with a planned monthly adjustment of 2%. Payment systems for goods and services were simplified by removing the need for SIRA (as defined below) authorizations and the *Certificado de Cuenta Única de Comercio Exterior en la AFIP*. Additionally, a payment scheduling scheme based on import tariff positions was established to manage foreign currency demand, particularly during low-season agricultural exports months.

On November 13, 2023, the Milei administration issued Decree No. 28/2023 establishing a new edition of the *Programa de Incremento Exportador* ("Export Increase Program") providing for the acquisition of 20% of the foreign currency derived from export collections through the stock market and requiring at least 80% to be engoatiated through the foreign exchange market.

In addition, to provide predictability for payments associated with the stock of commercial debt accumulated by importers up to December 12, 2023, the Central Bank announced the terms for new instruments called "Bonds for the Reconstruction of a Free Argentina" ("Bopreal"). Through the auction of these instruments, the Central Bank aimed to offer an orderly solution to address the crisis caused by the accumulation of commercial debts by importers. In this context, importers were given the opportunity to acquire these instruments using their available liquidity in pesos to meet their foreign commitments and, in return, they received a certain flow of foreign currency from the Central Bank. As of the date of this Annual Report, the Central Bank had placed the full amount announced for each of the four series of Bopreals in an aggregate original principal amount of US$10.8 billion.

In terms of monetary market normalization, the Central Bank ceased new Leliq auctions and adopted overnight repos as the primary tool for managing excess liquidity. The overnight repo rate was reduced to 100%, down from the previous Leliq rate of 133%. The minimum term deposit rate was set at 110%. The discontinuation of future Leliq auctions shifted focus to repo operations for managing monetary excesses. The Central Bank centralized its operations around a single monetary instrument to clarify policy signals and influence other interest rates.

***Monetary Policy measures implemented in 2024***

During the first phase of the monetary program, the Central Bank focused on reducing the speed of growth of the Peso money supply, which was achieved through a reduction of interest rates and the changes in the monetary instruments implemented at the beginning of the new administration. In this context, the monetary policy rate was reduced to 80% annually (from 100% annually) in March 2024, further reduced to 60% annually by the end of April, to 40% annually in May 2024, and to 32% annually in December 2024. Minimum rates for term deposits were eliminated in March, together with maximum rates on credit cards, a surcharge imposed on agricultural exporters holding stocks, and subsidies to payments in installments for consumers, among other measures.

In January 2024, the Central Bank announced that MSMEs with total commercial indebtedness of up to U.S.$500,000 could access the MLC to repay their debts in three installments in February, March and April 2024. It also announced the inclusion of a 30-day period for MSMEs to complete payment following registration of their imports. Additionally, for imports of capital goods, companies can pay up to 20% of their value in advance.

------

The Milei administration further liberalized market restrictions, including easing payment deadlines for importers, allowing 100% of import payments through the MLC in the first half of 2024, and reducing their financial costs. Additionally, the Central Bank doubled the amounts individuals could collect for services without forced liquidation in the MLC, raising the annual limit to U.S.$36,000 in December 2024. In September 2025, collections from service exports provided by natural persons were exempted from the obligation to be settled in the official foreign exchange market. Individuals who received pandemic-related government assistance or enjoyed consumption subsidies were also allowed to engage in foreign exchange operations through bonds.

In April 2024, the Central Bank carried out the payment and cancellation of the swap with BIS under its credit facilities agreement representing an annual saving of U.S.$10 million in fees. Net reserves and the Central Bank's liquidity position were not affected by such cancellation as the funds from the swap were technically not available by convention.

Among the large number of reforms aimed at normalizing the functioning of a banking system that hosted a complex web of disguised financial subsidies, the Central Bank redefined the incentive scheme, effective as of April 2024, to facilitate credit access for MSMEs. The scheme provides for a reduction in the minimum cash reserve requirements for financial institutions that maintain an average stock of MSME' loans representing at least 7.5% of their total deposits in pesos from the non-financial private sector. Moreover, the scheme requires that 30% of those holdings be channeled to investment projects with a minimum average term of 24 months. To further encourage longer-term investment projects, the Central Bank offered a 40% reduction in the minimum reserves required for financial institutions financing projects maturing in 36 months or more.

On April 15, 2024, the Central Bank increased minimum reserve requirements on term deposits held by mutual funds from 0% to 10%, as part of its liquidity management strategy. The requirement was subsequently raised to 15% on May 15, 2024, and to 20% on November 1, 2024, with the objective of standardizing the prudential regulatory treatment of similar accounts.

In June 2024, the Central Bank entered into a renewal of the currency swap with China for U.S.$5.0 billion until July 2026.

In July 2024, the Central Bank announced the second phase of the monetary program. The adopted monetary framewok was aimed at consolidating the elimination of inflation and laying the regulatory framework foundations to implement currency competition. This framework involves setting a ceiling for the Central Bank's monetary liabilities, with the objective of adjusting the amount of pesos to the amount of the broad monetary base recorded as of April 30, 2024, that is, current Ps. 47.7 trillion (9.1% of GDP). Additionally, the Central Bank closed the reverse repo window on July 22, 2024, with the objective fo limiting the endogenous issuance triggered by these instruments and seeking to take another step towards the Central Bank's balance sheet cleanup. On July 17, 2024, the National Treasury issued one-year LEFIs for Ps. 20 trillion to absorb excess liquidity, and exchanged them for securities adjusted by the CER in the Central Bank's portfolio. Thus, banks were able to deal with their liquidity by purchasing LEFIs for a total amount of Ps. 10.85 trillion after unwinding reverse repos. This new instrument was designed to regulate liquidity and absorb excess without sterilization costs on its balance sheet. LEFIs do not trade on secondary markets and are exchanged only between the Central Bank and financial institutions.

In 2024, there was a sustained accumulation of international reserves, reversing the trend seen in 2023, supported by the BOPREAL offerings, which postponed the amount of foreign currency used to repay importers' accumulated commercial debts and the payment scheduling scheme of imports carried out since December 12, 2023. The Central Bank's reserves increased to U.S.$29.6 billion by the end of December 2024, representing a 28.5% increase compared to December 2023. Greater credibility and the anchoring of expectations brought about by the implementation of the new economic program contributed to reduce the spread between the official and informal dollar prices. This reduced exchange rate uncertainty and improved inflation expectations.

In 2020, Government deposits with the Central Bank increased to Ps.68.8 billion from Ps.50.3 billion in 2019.

In 2021, Government deposits with the Central Bank increased to Ps.119.4 billion from Ps.68.8 billion in 2020.

In 2022, Government deposits with the Central Bank increased to Ps.1,212.5 billion from Ps.119.4 billion in 2021, mainly due to disbursements made by the IMF under the EFF.

In 2023, Government deposits with the Central Bank decreased to Ps.1,002.7 billion from Ps.1,212.5 billion in 2022, mainly due to a decrease in the economic activity index, high inflation levels and a loss in the purchasing power of income.

In 2024, Government deposits with the Central Bank increased to Ps.12,261.2 billion from Ps.1,002.7 billion in December 2023, mainly due to monetary policy measures and the transfer of the remaining monetary liabilities from the Central Bank balance sheet to that of the Treasury through the issuance of Lecaps. On May 20, 2024, the Central Bank transferred Ps.8,600 billion in reverse repos to Treasury's Lecaps, resulting in a decrease in the costs related to the sterilization of the fiscal deficit accumulated in previous years.

**Liquidity Aggregates** 

The monetary base consists of domestic currency in circulation (including cash held in vaults by banks) and peso-denominated deposits of financial entities with the Central Bank.

Additionally, the Central Bank employs the following aggregates to measure the level of liquidity in the economy:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• M1 measures domestic currency in circulation *plus* peso-denominated demand deposits and foreign
currency-denominated demand deposits;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• M2 measures M1 *plus* peso-denominated savings deposits and foreign currency-denominated savings deposits;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• M3 measures M2 *plus* all other peso-denominated deposits and foreign currency-denominated deposits.

The following tables set forth information on Argentina's liquidity aggregates as of the dates specified:

In 2020, the monetary base increased by 30.3% (compared to an inflation of 36.1% in the same year), mainly as a result of net transfers from the Central Bank to the Treasury (in the form of temporary advances and utilities) and interest payments accrued on securities issued by the Central Bank, which were partially offset by purchases of foreign currency, and net issuances of Leliqs and repurchase transactions with sterilization purposes.

In 2021, the monetary base increased by 47.9% (compared to an inflation of 50.9% in the same year), mainly as a result of a 72.4% increase in net transfers from the Central Bank to the Treasury (in the form of temporary advances and utilities) and the purchase of foreign currency by the Central Bank.

The expansion of the monetary base was partially sterilized through regulatory monetary instruments (passive passes and Leliqs). In particular, the issuance of Leliqs increased by 71% during 2021.

In 2022, the monetary base increased by 42.4% (compared to an inflation of 94.8% in the same year), mainly as a result of a 28.5% increase in net transfers from the Central Bank to the Treasury (in the form of temporary advances and utilities) and repurchase transactions with sterilization purposes.

In 2023, the monetary base increased by 84.6% (compared to an inflation of 211.4% in the same year), as a result of a 81.6% increase in currency in circulation.

In 2024, the monetary base increased by 209.4% (compared to an inflation of 117.8% in the same year), as a result of a 168.8% increase in currency in circulation.

**Foreign Exchange and International Reserves** 

***Foreign Exchange***

Beginning in February 2002, the peso was allowed to float against other currencies. After several years of fluctuations in the nominal exchange rate, the peso lost approximately 12.5% of its value against the U.S. dollar in 2012. Despite increased Central Bank intervention and measures to limit Argentine residents' access to foreign currency, the peso lost 23.8% of its value compared to the U.S. dollar in 2014.

In December 2015, the Central Bank eliminated a significant portion of the foreign exchange restrictions and the Central Bank returned to a free-float policy with interventions designed to enhance the operation of the foreign exchange market. Immediately after a significant portion of the foreign exchange controls were lifted on December 16, 2015, the peso lost 28.6% of its value compared to the U.S. dollar, as the peso-U.S. dollar exchange rate reached Ps.13.76 to U.S.$1.00 on December 17, 2015.

In 2016 and 2017, the Central Bank allowed the peso to freely float against other currencies with Central Bank intervention limited to measures designed to ensure the orderly operation of the foreign exchange market.

In 2018, the ability of the Central Bank to maintain its monetary and foreign exchange policies were severely challenged. The peso lost 25.6% of its value vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar between January 2 and May 31, 2018, while the international reserves of the Central Bank decreased by approximately U.S.$15.4 billion. In spite of the support provided by the IMF through the SBA, in 2018, the peso lost 50.3% of its value compared to the U.S. dollar.

------

In 2019, the Central Bank established new restrictions on access to the foreign exchange market for hoarding. On July 18, 2019, the Central Bank renewed its Chinese Yen ("CNY") 70 million swap with China and, on December 17, 2019, it renewed the CNY60,000,000 complement to such agreement, bringing the total amount under the swap to CNY130,000,000. In 2019, the peso lost 36.9% of its value versus the U.S. dollar. See "—Monetary Policy measures implemented in 2019."

In 2020, the main exchange market regulation measures were maintained, as part of the measures implemented by the Central Bank to maintain exchange rate stability and protect savings. See "—Restrictions to the Foreign Exchange Market and other related measures."

In 2020 and 2021, the peso lost 28.8% and 18.1% of its value versus the U.S. dollar, respectively (on the basis of the exchange rates published pursuant to Communication A3500 of the Central Bank).

In 2022, the peso lost 42.0% of its value versus the U.S. dollar (on the basis of the exchange rates published pursuant to Communication A3500 of the Central Bank). See "—Monetary Policy measures implemented in 2020" and "—Monetary Policy measures implemented in 2022."

In 2023, the Central Bank adopted measures for the preservation of international competitiveness by gradually readjusting the U.S. dollar crawl under the floating exchange rate to keep up with inflation rates, and reinforcing international reserves by accumulating external surplus. In 2023, the peso lost 78.1% of its value versus the U.S. dollar (on the basis of the exchange rates published pursuant to Communication A3500 of the Central Bank). See "—Monetary Policy measures implemented in 2020" and "—Monetary Policy measures implemented in 2023."

In 2024, the peso lost 21.7% of its value versus the U.S. dollar (on the basis of the exchange rates published pursuant to Communication A3500 of the Central Bank). See "—Monetary Policy measures implemented in 2024."

**Restrictions to the Foreign Exchange Market and other related measures** 

In response to the deterioration of the Argentine economy and financial system in 2001, the inability of the Republic to service its public external indebtedness and the decreased level of deposits in the financial system, the Government issued Decree No. 1,570/2001 on December 3, 2001, which established certain monetary and currency exchange control measures, including restrictions on the free disposition of funds deposited in banks and restrictions on the transfer of funds abroad, subject to certain exceptions.

In addition to the above measures, on February 8, 2002, the Government and the Central Bank made certain transfers of funds abroad to service principal and/or interest payments on foreign indebtedness subject to prior authorization. From 2011 until December 2015, the Government increased controls on the sale of foreign currency and the acquisition of foreign assets by local residents, limiting the possibility of transferring funds abroad.

Together with the regulations established in 2012 that subjected certain foreign exchange transactions to prior approval by the Argentine tax authorities or the Central Bank, certain measures adopted by the authorities significantly curtailed access to the *Mercado Único y Libre de Cambio* (the "MULC"). In response, an unofficial U.S. dollar trading market developed in which the peso-U.S. dollar exchange rate differed substantially from the official peso-U.S. dollar exchange rate.

Following an initial set of measures adopted in December 2015 with the aim of increasing capital inflows, the Government and the Central Bank introduced additional measures to eliminate restrictions affecting the balance of payment transactions. In August 2016, the Central Bank materially eased access to the MULC. In December 2016 and January 2017, the Central Bank further relaxed foreign exchange controls and, effective July 1, 2017, the Central Bank eliminated most of the remaining foreign exchange restrictions and adopted measures to provide access to the foreign exchange market by residents and non-residents.

The fundamental change in circumstances since 2018 resulted in a rapid reversal of many of the measures adopted during the prior two years. On September 1, 2019, the Central Bank imposed restrictions on foreign currency transactions, requiring financial institutions to obtain prior Central Bank approval to buy foreign currency in the exchange market (except in the case of foreign trade). Individuals were limited to purchases of foreign currency not to exceed U.S.$10,000 per month, which was eventually reduced to U.S.$200 per month in October 2019. Further, the Central Bank required exporters to repatriate the proceeds of export transactions five days after receiving payment or 180 days after receiving permission to ship.

During 2020 and 2021, the Central Bank adopted regulations further limiting access to the MULC, mainly aiming at preserving the level of international reserves. These measures included, among others, imposing surcharges on foreign currency operations, setting restrictions on settlements, requiring prior approval from the Central Bank, and limiting the total amount of payments for imports or the repatriation of dividends for non-residents.

In the last quarter of 2022, new restrictions were imposed on users of subsidized electricity, water, and natural gas, and an additional tax was added on foreign currency expenses exceeding certain amounts, as well as on personal, cultural, and leisure services hired abroad. The Central Bank also introduced the *Sistema de Importaciones de la República Argentina* (SIRA) to manage the access of importing firms to the MULC based on specific analyses of each importer.

------

In 2023, restrictions continued to be adopted. In May, the Central Bank created a new instrument called LEDIV (Central Bank bills in dollars, payable in pesos at the reference exchange rate, with zero interest, and non-transferable). LEDIVs were designed for importers to pay for goods, banks holding dollar-linked deposits, and oil companies that had increased production. By November, new subscriptions for these instruments were eliminated, with the outstanding amount totaling over U.S.$5 billion.

In October 2023, the Central Bank further restricted dollar demand by limiting the banks' holding of foreign currency assets. Thus, banks were prevented from increasing their daily cash positions in foreign currency without prior permission from the Central Bank.

In the last quarter of 2024, the Government announced a downsizing and reorganization of the general administration of public revenues entity (ARCA, previously known as AFIP). Further, the Government launched a plan to incentivize property and asset regularization by tax payers, which allowed for the regularization of assets without costs or penalties. As a result, private sector foreign currency deposits increased by U.S.$24.6 billion, declared assets increased by U.S.$11.0 billion and 1,419 new construction projects were regularized.

Also, the Central Bank decided to shorten the term for importers to access the MLC to pay for their imports from 60 to 30 days. As a result, import payment terms are standardized for all goods in the economy, except those with immediate access to the MLC, such as energy-and for all the companies, regardless of their size.

On December 22, 2024, the Government announced the termination of the *Impuesto PAIS* when applied directly to the purchase of foreign currency (7.5% when paying goods and services imports, excluding tourism, and 30% whe purchasing foreign currency for paying tourism services and for saving purposes), which was established five years prior to operate as an advance collection on account of income tax.

For a description of measures implemented in 2025 to strengthen these restrictions, see "Recent Developments—Monetary System—Restrictions to the Foreign Exchange Market and other related measures."

**Inflation** 

For 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, accumulated inflation as measured by the National CPI methodology reached 36.1%, 50.9%, 94.8%, 211.4% and 117.8%, respectively, reflecting a downward trend in 2024, from a 20.6% inflation in January 2024 to 2.7% inflation in December 2024, in each case, as measured by the National CPI methodology.

In 2020, the Government and the Central Bank adopted a series of measures, within the framework of policies to address the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, aimed at protecting debtors, including the freezing of mortgage loan installments updated by the *Unidades de Valor Adquisitivo* (Purchasing Value Units, or "UVA") index, effective from April 2020 to January 2021. Further, in order to avoid substantial leaps in the evolution of installments after the freezing period, a convergence mechanism was established, effective from February 2021 to July 2022. In order to prevent possible situations of vulnerability within that framework, financial entities must offer facilities to debtors if the installment-to-income ratio exceeds certain thresholds.

------

In the first half of 2022, the inflation rate increased mainly as a consequence of the factors influencing inflation in 2021 and indexation mechanisms such as a salary adjustment program adopted by the Government following negotiations with labor unions. During the second half of 2022, the inflation rate increased mainly as a result of the higher volatility in the local financial market, uncertainty in the foreign exchange market and higher expected inflation.

In November 2022, the Government created the *Programa de Precios Justos* (Fair Prices Program), replacing the *Precios Cuidados* program, to maintain certain products at a fixed price until February 2023. Companies that adhered to the program were subject to sanctions in the event of product shortages.

During the first seven months of 2023, the Government adopted measures aimed at reducing financial volatility and controlling inflation included increasing the monetary policy rate from 75% in January to 97% in July, renewing and expanding the currency swap with China, restoring the *Programa de Incremento Exportador* (Export Growth Program), and adjusting regulations to improve foreign reserve management.

In July 2023, the Ministry of Economy introduced new measures to alleviate inflationary pressures. These measures included the reintegration of VAT for pensioners, social plan beneficiaries, employees earning up to six minimum salaries, and self-employed individuals paying self-employment tax (*Monotributo*). The exemption threshold for income tax was raised to include only those earning over Ps.1.7 milllion, approximately 0.88% of all taxpayers. Support for the food program under PAMI (*Programa de Atención Médica Integral*), which provides medical assistance for retirees, pensioners, and people without retirement income, was also increased. Fiscal pressure on the agricultural sector was reduced by eliminating export retentions on food products affected by drought. Additionally, bonuses were provided for retirees and employees with lower incomes, and financial assistance to SMEs was increased.

In October 2023, the Government reinstated the *Precios Justos* program to stabilize the prices of basic products and medicines, temporarily freezing prices for regulated products such as gasoline and private health insurance, and postponed fare increases for trains, buses, electricity, and gas. The Central Bank raised the monetary policy rate to 118% (ending the year at 113%) and continued its efforts to stabilize the foreign exchange market.

In 2024, the inflation rate deaccelerated, mainly as a result of measures aimed at reaching fiscal surplus and setting an official monthly crawling peg of 2% for the nominal foreign currency rate with respect to the U.S. dollar, reaching an exchange of Ps.799.97 per U.S. dollar on December 13, 2024, compared to Ps.364.40 on December 12, 2024.

**Regulation of the Financial Sector** 

The Central Bank regulates the financial sector. The Central Bank has the authority to set minimum capital, liquidity and solvency requirements, approve bank mergers, approve certain capital increases and transfers of stock, grant and revoke banking licenses and authorize the establishment of branches of foreign financial institutions in Argentina. The Central Bank also regularly monitors the activities and operations of financial institutions, requiring them to submit periodic financial reports, and is authorized to adopt regulations in accordance with the Financial Institutions Law.

The Central Bank regulates the financial sector primarily through the *Superintendencia de Entidades Financieras y Cambiarias* (Superintendence of Financial and Exchange Institutions), which is responsible for enforcing Argentina's banking laws, establishing accounting and financial reporting requirements for the banking sector, monitoring and regulating the lending practices of financial institutions and establishing rules for participation of financial institutions in the foreign exchange market and the issuance of bonds and other securities.

In 2011, the Central Bank published a roadmap for the implementation of Basel III. Since then, the Central Bank has taken steps to adopt these regulations with the aim of identifying risks relating to liquidity shortages in systemically important domestic financial institutions and began implementing a comprehensive set of reform measures under Basel III that will help prevent systemic vulnerabilities. Currently, the Central Bank monitors financial institutions' compliance with established indicators and publishes such results in a financial stability report, which is published every six-months.

During the first half of 2016, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision carried out a periodic review of Argentina's adoption of international standards relating to the regulation of capital and bank liquidity. The primary purpose of this review was to ensure consistent application of these standards among all Basel Committee members. In 2017 and 2018, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision published reports reflecting Argentina's progress in the adoption of these standards. Further, in November 2018, the Bank of International Settlement published a report describing progress with regards to the adoption of such standards, evaluating the integrity and consistency of the regulation with respect to the standards and analyzing the results of the regulations.

------

In April 2021, following the recommendations of the Financial Stability Board, the Central Bank set the guidelines for the management of cyber-attacks in the financial sector with the objective of limiting the risks associated to such incidents.

In 2023, in addition to the measures regarding the foreign exchange market and inflation (see "—Restrictions to the Foreign Exchange Market and other related measures" and "—Inflation"), other measures were related to liquidity management and monetary regulation were introduced. For example, the Central Bank allowed financial institutions to fulfill their minimum cash requirements using Government bonds issued in pesos, with a residual maturity between 300 and 730 days from the moment of integration, later extended to 760 days, resulting from government bond exchange operations.

From April to December of 2023, financial institutions were permitted, with prior Central Bank authorization, to distribute up to 40% of their financial results in six equal monthly installments. Commercial banks that allowed their clients to use ATMs, regardless of ownership, were required to open a special account for such purpose. Clients' voluntary foreign currency holdings, both inside and overseas, had to be deposited in their accounts specifically opened for that purpose.

Additionally, the Central Bank established guidelines for local governments to pay foreign debt capital amortizations, requiring them to submit a plan that provided for the payment of up to 40% of the amortization, rolling over the remaining debt with a due date of no less than two years.

To manage market liquidity, on May 2, 2024, the Central Bank increased the minimum cash reserve requirements for mutual fund deposits from 0% to 10%. This rate also applies to financial institutions engaging in repo funding in the market via stocks and bonds with a residual life of up to 29 days. Both measures aim to normalize the prudential management of liquidity by banks, and absorb excess liquidity from monetary financing used in previous years to address fiscal deficits. The requirement was subsequently raised to 15% and 20% on May 15, 2024 and November 1, 2024, respectively.

The decrease in remunerative liabilities of the Central Bank, the sustained reductions of the repo rate and the crawling peg of the foreign exchange rate of 2%, limited the endogenous growth of Central Bank liabilities, see "Recent Developments—Monetary System—Restrictions to the Foreign Exchange Market and other related measures."

During 2024, the Central Bank continuously adapted its regulation of financial entities to the changes in the financial and economic environment, such as (i) incorporating assets admitted as collateral for credit risk coverage, (ii) amplifying the regulation's operational scope via non-banking agents (such as virtual wallets), and (iii) improving operative processes and logistics to reduce financial costs (such as the issuance of currency bills of higher denomination and the adjustment of limits on monetary transaction with ATMs). Additionally, in December 2024 the Central Bank authorized companies to access the MLC without prior authorization, in order to pay interests on financial debts with related companies accrued since January 1, 2025.

During 2023, the Central Bank increased the monetary policy rate from 75.0% to 133% for the final Leliq auction. After Milei's administration took office on December 10, 2023, the Central Bank decided to discontinue the use of Leliqs as a liquidity control instrument and, instead, opted for reverse repo transactions to absorb monetary surpluses.

By the end of 2024, the monetary policy rate reached 32.0%, decreasing from 100.0% at the beginning of the year, while the repo rate decreased to 36.0% from 160.0% during the same period. In November 2024, the Central Bank introduced a rate called TAMAR (*Tasa Mayorista de Argentina*) for fixed term deposits of Ps.1.0 billion or more, due between 30-35 days, published daily starting as of December 2, 2024 (when it stood at 38.4%). The main difference with other reference rates (such as the BADLAR) is that the minimum deposit amount will be updated annually. As of December 30, 2024, the TAMAR stood at 34.3%.

**Securities Markets** 

In the Argentine securities market, Government bonds dominate trading activities, followed by trading of corporate equity securities and corporate bonds. Trading of other instruments such as futures and options represents only a small portion of market activity.

***Regulation of the Securities Markets***

The Argentine securities markets are regulated by the CNV and the stock markets. The CNV supervises all agents that carry out transactions in Argentina's public securities markets, including brokers, public companies, mutual funds and clearinghouses, and has the authority to regulate and control the public offering of all securities, other than the primary issue of Government securities.

------

On December 29, 2016, the CNV authorized *Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos* ("ByMA") as a market for the listing of securities through a public offering approval. The ByMA began its activities on May 23, 2017 and, subsequently, all listing of notes on the MERVAL were automatically transferred to ByMA. Currently, the primary markets are the ByMA and the *Mercado Abierto Electrónico* ("MAE").

In the first half of the 1990s, changes to the legal framework provided for the issuance and trading of new financial products in the Argentine capital markets, including commercial paper, new types of corporate bonds, as well as futures and options. This period was characterized by relatively low levels of regulation of the Argentine securities market and limited enforcement. In November 2013, Congress approved the Capital Markets Law No. 26,831, which empowered the CNV to strengthen disclosure and regulatory standards for the Argentine securities market. The new standards were introduced through changes to the CNV's rules implemented under Resolution 622/2013. On May 9, 2018, Congress enacted Law No. 27,440 to (i) develop national capital markets to increase financing for MSMEs; (ii) promote access to housing by generating financing for mortgage loans; (iii) increase financial instruments that favor and promote long-term savings; (iv) strengthen the regulatory powers of the CNV; and (v) stimulate the federalization of capital markets through technology.

During 2020, the value of the Argentine securities was adversely affected by investors' perceptions of the long-term effects of macroeconomic developments and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in significant decreases of company valuations and increases in yields in the secondary market for debt securities of Argentine issuers. As of December 31, 2020, the market capitalization of Argentina's main securities market for equities was U.S.$112.1 billion (when measured in U.S. dollars), a 36.4% decrease compared to December 31, 2019. Measured in pesos, the market capitalization of Argentina's main securities market for equities also decreased in 2020.

During 2021, the value of the Argentine securities was adversely affected by investors' perceptions of the long-term effects of macroeconomic developments and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in significant decreases of company valuations and increases in yields in the secondary market for debt securities of Argentine issuers.

Between December 2020 and December 2021, Argentine companies increased their capital markets financing by 43%. As of December 31, 2021, the market capitalization of Argentina's main securities market for equities was U.S.$41.7 billion, representing a 41.4% and 79.7% increase when measured in U.S. dollars and pesos, respectively, compared to December 31, 2020.

During 2022, the value of the Argentine securities was adversely affected by investors' perceptions of the long-term effects of macroeconomic developments and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in significant decreases of company valuations and increases in yields in the secondary market for debt securities of Argentine issuers.

Between December 2021 and December 2022, Argentine companies increased their capital markets financing by 51.0%. As of December 31, 2022, the market capitalization of Argentina's main securities market for equities was U.S.$54.1 billion (when measured in U.S. dollars), a 29.8% increase compared to December 31, 2021.

As of December 31, 2023, the market capitalization of Argentina's main securities market for equities was U.S.$46.78 billion (when measured in U.S. dollars), a 13.6% decrease compared to December 31, 2022. Throughout 2023, companies' funding via capital markets reached Ps.433,404 million, representing a 127% increase compared to the previous year. For SMEs alone, financing amounted to Ps.329,778 million, marking a 295% increase compared to December 2022.

As of December 31, 2024, the market capitalization of Argentina's main securities market for equities was U.S.$90.1 billion (when measured in U.S. dollars), a 93% increase compared to December 31, 2023. Throughout 2024, companies' funding via capital markets reached Ps.27.9 billion, representing a 42% increase compared to the previous year (measured at constant pesos of December 2024). For SMEs alone, financing amounted to Ps.10,846 million, marking a 27% increase in real terms compared to December 2023.

***Mutual Funds and the FGS***

From 2005 to 2008, individuals, pension funds and mutual funds constituted the largest groups of investors in Argentina's capital markets.

On November 20, 2008, Congress approved Law No. 26,425, which reformed the private pension system. Under this law, the former private pension system was absorbed and replaced by the *Sistema Solidario de Reparto* (Argentine Integrated Pension System), structured as a "pay as you go" system. As a result, all of the resources administered by the private pension funds, including equity interests in a wide range of listed companies, were transferred to a separate fund, the FGS, to be administered by the ANSES. The assets held in the FGS may only be used to make advances to the Government to cover unexpected budget deficits that prevent the Government (through ANSES) from honoring its obligation to make social security and pension payments. The FGS holds a wide range of financial assets, including without limitation public sector securities, shares of corporations, fixed and floating rate instruments, bonds, mutual funds, securities representing debt issued under trusts and mortgage bonds. As of December 2024, the FGS was valued at Ps.76,905 billion. Securities and stocks were the FGS's most important investments, representing 90.8% of the total value of the Fund.

***Government Bonds***

In terms of trading volume, the Argentine bond market is dominated by Government securities. The total traded amount of public bonds reached U.S.$218.8 billion in 2020, U.S.$284.3 billion in 2021, U.S.$383.3 billion in 2022, U.S.$555.2 billion in 2023 and U.S.$934.2 billion in 2024.

For a description of the types of bonds issued by the Government see "Public Sector Debt."

***Corporate Bonds***

Corporate bonds are issued in registered form and may be denominated in local or foreign currency. Interest rates on corporate bonds may be fixed or floating and can vary substantially with market conditions and the creditworthiness of the issuer.

***Equities***

The Argentine equities market is regulated by the CNV. Authorized markets, following CNV standards, set the rules that corporate issuers must follow to list equity securities on those markets.

In 2020, equity total trading volume contracted by 16.4% to U.S.$3.6 billion compared to U.S.$4.3 billion in 2019. In 2021, equity total trading volume contracted by 14.5% to U.S.$3.1 billion compared to U.S.$3.6 billion in 2020. In 2022, equity total trading volume grew by 3.3% to U.S.$3.2 billion compared to U.S.$3.1 billion in 2021. In 2023, equity total trading volume grew by 168% to U.S.$8.5 billion compared to U.S.$3.2 billion in 2022.

**PUBLIC SECTOR FINANCES** 

**Introduction** 

Argentina's public sector comprises national, provincial and municipal entities. These entities are divided into the non-financial public sector and the financial public sector. The non-financial public sector consists of national, provincial and municipal administrations, state-owned enterprises, certain public agencies and special-purpose fiduciary funds. The National Administration, in turn, is composed of the Central Administration, decentralized agencies and social security institutions (including former provincial pension funds). The financial public sector consists of the Central Bank, the *Banco de la Nación Argentina,* the BICE and ten other public financial entities (including provincial and municipal banks).

The chart below sets forth the organizational structure of Argentina's public sector, excluding the non-financial municipal sector.

![LOGO](g90705dsp116.jpg)

The Central Administration comprises the executive, legislative and judicial branches of the Government, including the public ministries. National decentralized agencies include governmental institutions, such as the *Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos* ("AFIP") with a budget, revenues and expenditures separate from the Central Administration. The national social security institutions consist of the ANSES, which is a self-governing entity, the Armed Forces Pension Fund and the Federal Police Pension Fund. As of the date of this Annual Report, ten provinces and the City of Buenos Aires had transferred their social security obligations to ANSES.

The national public accounts reflect the consolidated results of the non-financial national public sector.

Argentina's provincial and local authorities are independent from the Government and maintain separate fiscal accounts. Accordingly, the fiscal results of the provinces and local governments are not reflected in the national public accounts. The Central Administration, however, is legally required to transfer a portion of its revenues to the provinces and from time to time has also provided other forms of financial assistance to the provinces. See "—Fiscal Relations with the Provinces."

Except as otherwise specified in the discussion below, the national public accounts are presented using a cash-basis method, which computes revenues and expenditures in the period in which cash flows take place, regardless of the period in which they were accrued. In the discussion of the National Public Accounts below and throughout this Annual Report, the non-financial national public sector is referred to as the "Government." Additionally, we refer to the fiscal balance of the non-financial national public sector as the "primary fiscal balance." This primary fiscal balance does not reflect the issuance of Bocones, a debt instrument issued by the Government to discharge a portion of its payment obligations (*e.g*., with suppliers) or interest payments. The overall balance of the non-financial national public sector includes interest payments unless otherwise specified.

**National Public Accounts** 

***Overview***

Since 2016, fiscal results are presented such that (i) transfers from the Central Bank and FGS to the Government are excluded from total fiscal revenues, (ii) intra-public sector interest payments on public debt made by the Government are excluded from total primary expenditures and (iii) tax revenues are presented net of revenues and transfers co-participated with the provinces, pension contributions, subsidies and social security transfers of the Government. Information below for years prior to 2016, employs data using the new reporting methodology described above.

Amounts in the discussion of fiscal results below are those set forth in the immediately following tables, with the exception of references to revenues from social security taxes, value-added taxes ("VAT"), income taxes, taxes on goods and services and taxes on fuel, each of which relate to data set forth in the table titled "Composition of Tax Revenues" presented in "—Tax Regime," which include revenues (and transfers) "co-participated" with the provinces (see "—Fiscal Relations with the Provinces") and pension contributions mandated by the Argentine Integrated Pension System.

------

***Evolution of Fiscal Results: 2020 to 2024***

From 2020 to 2023, the Government recorded deficits in both the primary fiscal balance and the overall balance. In 2024, the Government recorded a surplus in both the primary fiscal balance and the overall balance. Primary expenditures increased to 23.7% of GDP in 2020 and decreased to 20.5% of GDP in 2021, 19.6% of GDP in 2022, 19.0% of GDP in 2023 and 14.6% of GDP in 2024. Such continued decrease was mainly due to a reduction of the funding of social programs and increases in social security benefits to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as well the economic program implemented by the Milei administration focused on rationalizing public sector spending. See "The Argentine Economy—The Milei Administration."

(1) Data set forth in this table differs from the data presented in the tables titled "Composition of Tax
Revenues" because it excludes revenues (and transfers) co-participated with the provinces and because it is published after the data set forth in the "Composition of Tax Revenues" table and
thus reflects updated information.

(2) Excludes transfers from the Central Bank and the FGS and includes sale of goods and services of the public
administration, operational revenues, current transfers and other transfers.

(3) Excludes revenues from privatization.

(4) Includes pension contributions mandated by the Argentine Integrated Pension System.

(5) The Government discharges certain of its payment obligations (e.g., with suppliers) by issuing bonds known as
Bocones. Bocones constitute bonds to be paid in the future rather than cash payments, and were not recorded as primary expenditures in the periods presented in this table or reflected as part of the overall balance of the non-financial public sector. The amount of Bocones issued in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 was Ps.9.5 billion, Ps.3.9 billion, Ps.1.9 billion, Ps.14.8 billion and Ps.10.5 billion,
respectively.

(6) Amounts presented under "Social security" in this table are calculated on a cash basis and
therefore differ from the data presented in the table entitled "Composition of National Public Expenditures," which are calculated using the accrual method of accounting and correspond to the National Administration.

(7) Includes transfers to the private sector (including subsidies), to the public sector (e.g., transfers to
universities), under the Heads of Households Program and to state-owned companies.

(8) Excludes intra-public sector interest payments and includes interest payments on bonds issued pursuant to the
2005 Debt Exchange and the 2010 Debt Exchange.

(9) The overall balance of the non-financial public sector equals the
primary fiscal balance minus interest payments.

(1) Data set forth in this table differs from the data presented in the tables titled "Composition of Tax
Revenues" because it excludes revenues (and transfers) co-participated with the provinces and because it is published after the data set forth in the "Composition of Tax Revenues" tables and
thus reflects updated information.

(2) Excludes transfers from the Central Bank and the FGS and includes sale of goods and services of the public
administration, operational revenues, current transfers and other transfers.

(3) Excludes revenues from privatization.

(4) Includes pension contributions mandated by the Argentine Integrated Pension System.

(5) The Government discharges certain of its payment obligations (e.g., with suppliers) by issuing bonds known as
Bocones. Bocones constitute bonds to be paid in the future rather than cash payments, and were not recorded as primary expenditures in the periods presented in this table or reflected as part of the overall balance of the non-financial public sector. The amount of Bocones issued in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 was Ps.9.5 billion, Ps.3.9 billion, Ps.1.9 billion, Ps. 14.8 billion and Ps.10.5 billion,
respectively.

(6) Amounts presented under "Social security" in this table are calculated on a cash basis and
therefore differ from the data presented in the table entitled "Composition of National Public Expenditures," which are calculated using the accrual method of accounting and correspond to the National Administration.

(7) Includes transfers to the private sector (including subsidies), to public sector entities (e.g., transfers to
universities), to the Heads of Households Program and to state-owned companies.

(8) Excludes intra-public sector interest payments Includes interest payments on bonds issued pursuant to the 2005
Debt Exchange and the 2010 Debt Exchange.

(9) The overall balance of the non-financial public sector equals the
primary fiscal balance minus interest payments.

***Fiscal Result of 2020 Compared to Fiscal Results of 2019***

*Primary fiscal balance*. The primary fiscal deficit recorded for 2020 was Ps.1,749.9 billion, compared to a deficit of Ps.95.1 billion for 2019. Total revenues increased by 22.0% in 2020, while primary expenditures (excluding interest payments) increased by 63.4%, reflecting the measures adopted by the Government to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. See "The Argentine Economy—Background and Recent Economic History—2020-2023."

*Fiscal revenues.* In 2020, fiscal revenues increased by 22.0% to Ps.4,698.9 billion from Ps.3,852.3 billion in 2019. The increase in revenues generated by VAT, imports and exports taxes and social security taxes evidences the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on economic activities.

*Primary expenditures.* In 2020, primary expenditures (excluding interest payments) of the Government increased by 63.4% to Ps.6,448.9 billion in 2020 from Ps.3,947.5 billion in 2019. This increase was mainly due to the following factors:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• other transfers (including external sector transfers, private sector subsidies and transfers to autonomous public
entities such as universities), which accounted for approximately 50.9% of the overall increase in expenditures, increased by 128.0%, from Ps.994.3 billion in 2019 to Ps.2,267.5 billion in 2020. This increase was mainly due to an increase
in outlays to social security payments, particularly through the Universal Child Allowance, Universal Pregnancy Allowances, Emergency Family Income and *Programa de Asistencia al Trabajo y la Producción* (Assistance Program for Work and
Production), to mitigate the economic effects of the measures deployed by the Government to prevent the spread of COVID-19;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• social security outlays, which accounted for approximately 29.9% of the overall increase in expenditures,
increased by 40.0%, from Ps.1,866.7 billion in 2019 to Ps.2,613.8 billion in 2020, mainly as a result of increases in pension payments mandated by law;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• national administration wages, which accounted for approximately 6.4% of the overall increase in expenditures,
increased by 29.6% from Ps.536.9 billion in 2019 to Ps.696.0 billion in 2020; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• capital expenditures, increased from Ps.236.4 billion in 2019 to Ps.279.6 billion in 2020.

*Primary fiscal balance*. The primary fiscal deficit recorded for 2021 was Ps.980.2 billion, compared to a deficit of Ps.1,749.9 billion for 2020. Total revenues increased by 81.2% in 2021, while primary expenditures (excluding interest payments) increased by 47.3%.

*Fiscal revenues.* In 2021, fiscal revenues increased by 81.2% to Ps.8,516.4 billion from Ps.4,698.9 billion in 2020. The increase was mainly due to an increase in revenues generated by (i) VAT, imports and exports taxes and social security taxes, (ii) the tax modifications introduced by the Solidarity Law (see "—Tax Regime—Tax Modifications Introduced by the Solidarity Law"), (iii) a U.S.$439.0 billion extraordinary allocation of special-drawing rights by the IMF, mainly to mitigate the impact of the global crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and (iv) the enactment of Law No.27,605, which created a solidary and extraordinary contribution by higher income sectors levied on the assets of individuals and undivided estates.

*Primary expenditures.* In 2021, primary expenditures (excluding interest payments) of the Government increased by 47.3% to Ps.9,496.6 billion in 2021 from Ps.6,448.9 billion in 2020. This increase was mainly due to the following factors:

increased by 41.9%, from Ps.2,613.8 billion in 2020 to Ps.3,709.5 billion in 2021, mainly as a result of increases in pension payments mandated by law;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• national administration wages, which accounted for approximately 12.6% of the overall increase in expenditures,
increased by 55.0% from Ps.696.0 billion in 2020 to Ps.1,078.5 billion in 2021;

in outlays to social security payments to mitigate the economic effects of the measures deployed by the Government to prevent the spread of COVID-19, including:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• extraordinary social security payments made during May, April, August and December to beneficiaries of lower
income pensions and retirement benefits, to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• distribution of Ps.90.9 billion in food cards within the framework of the national food emergence, which has
been extended until December 31, 2022;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• payment of an extraordinary Ps.15,000 subsidy to Universal Child Allowance beneficiaries and single-taxpayers
that are beneficiaries of family allowances, as well as a supplemental monthly payment to Universal Child Allowance beneficiaries of lower income;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• social security outlays, which accounted for approximately 38.6% of the overall increase in expenditures,
increased by 69.5%, from Ps.3,709.5 billion in 2021 to Ps.6,288.2 billion in 2022, mainly as a result of increases in pension payments mandated by law and extraordinary social security payments made during April, May, August, and December
2022, aimed at providing greater protection to vulnerable groups. The Government announced additional payments for Ps.6,000 and Ps.12,000 to beneficiaries of lower income pensions and retirement benefits in April and May 2022, respectively. Further,
the Government announced a monthly increase for lower income pensions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• other transfers (including external sector transfers, private sector subsidies and transfers to autonomous public

**Tax Regime** 

***Overview***

In Argentina, the legal authority to impose taxes is shared by Congress, the provincial legislatures and, within certain limits, the municipalities.

------

Federal taxes must be authorized by an act of Congress, although the executive branch is empowered to issue regulations and decrees necessary to implement congressional legislation. Argentina does not have a federal revenue code; instead, separate laws, which are amended frequently, govern different categories of taxes. The Ministry of Economy is responsible for the collection of federal fiscal revenues. The Ministry of Economy carries out this task mainly through the AFIP.

Data set forth in this section differs from the data presented in "—National Public Accounts" section because this data includes revenues (and transfers) "co-participated" with the provinces. See "—Fiscal Relations with the Provinces."

***Composition of Tax Revenues***

The Government levies the following taxes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• VAT on goods and services;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• income taxes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• social security taxes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• taxes on foreign trade;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• taxes on capital;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• taxes on fuel; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• other taxes on goods and services (such as consumption taxes, taxes on financial transactions.

In 2020, the Government levied an extraordinary net worth tax (*Impuesto PAÍS)* that targeted high net worth individuals. See "—Tax Modifications Introduced by the Solidarity Law."

In August 2024, the Government instructed ARCA to eliminate withholding taxes on VAT and income taxes on electronic payments made on or after September 1, 2024. As a result, goods and services providers that charged via credit cards were not subject to deductions in advance of receiving the respective payments from the banks associated to those credit cards.

On September 2, 2024, the Government lowered the *Impuesto PAÍS* to import tariffs on goods and freight from 17.5% to 7.5%, with the objective of lowering the price of the U.S. dollar for importers and reducing the price of consumer goods. On December 22, 2024, the *Impuesto PAÍS* ceased to be in effect.

Traditionally, the Government derived most of its revenue from VAT, social security contributions and income taxes.

Tax revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 totaled Ps.133,268 billion, an increase of 205.6% as compared to 2023. The increase was primarily the result of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increases in nominal wages of the public and private sectors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increases in prices of products and services;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increases in collection of foreign trade taxes, export and import duties in connection with an increase in the
nominal exchange rate, and the effects of a stronger 2023/2024 harvest season compared to the 2022/2023 harvest season, which was affected by a drought; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the levying of the *Impuesto PAÍS*.

During 2024:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• revenues from taxes on financial transactions increased by 199.3%, mainly as a result of a nominal increase in
banking transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• VAT revenues increased by 190.9%, mainly due to a decrease in consumption at current prices, which was partially
offset by an increase in prices;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• social security taxes increased by 208.7%, mainly due to an increase in taxable wages (in nominal terms) and the
increase in the maximum tax base, which were partially offset by a decline in jobs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• income tax revenues increased by 196.8%, mainly due to modifications in the tax scheme (as employees who were
exempted from October to December 2023 were subject to taxation in 2024), the increase of taxable financial activities and better payment terms;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• capital tax revenues increased by 135.1%, mainly due to the implementation of the *Régimen Especial de Ingreso del Impuesto sobre los Bienes Personales* (Special Regime for the Payment of Personal Property Tax or "REIBP"), which provided certain incentives for individuals entering the personal property tax regime;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• revenues from international trade and transactions increased by 266.3% compared to 2023;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• import duty revenues increased by 184.4%, mainly driven by an increase in the nominal exchange rate; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• export duty revenues increased by 290.4%, mainly due to a rise in nominal exchange rate and a stronger harvest
season.

The year-on-year increase in tax revenues and social security contributions was mainly due to an increase in prices, exchange rates and wages.

The following tables set forth the composition of the Government's tax revenues for the periods specified.

The information below is a brief description of the principal taxes levied by the Government as of December 2024 except for social security taxes. For a description of social security taxes see "—Social Security."

***Value Added Tax***

VAT is levied on sales of goods and services within Argentina, and the rendering of services abroad when the effective use of those services takes place in Argentina and the provider of the service is registered as a VAT taxable person. VAT is also applied on imports of consumer products and on digital services with effective use in the Republic.

As of December 31, 2024, the general VAT rate was 21.0%. An increased rate of 27.0% applies to the provision of gas, electricity, water, sewage and telecommunications services for non-residential purposes. A reduced rate of 10.5% applies in certain cases, including housing projects, the sale of livestock and other agricultural products, the sale of capital goods and certain financial revenues and expenses.

Between September 18, 2023 and December 31, 2023, the Government implemented the *Compre Sin IVA* (Buy Without VAT) program, which provided for the refund of 21% of the VAT on purchases of products belonging to the essential food basket in an amount of up to Ps.18,800 per month per person. The program was aimed at alleviating the tax burden on consumers of essential products, contributing to the improvement of their purchasing power and facilitating the access to basic goods. The program was available for retirees, beneficiaries of the Universal Child Allowance, single taxpayers, employees with an income of up to six minimum salaries, and domestic workers within the *Régimen del Personal de Casas Particulares* (Private Household Personnel Regime).

In 2024, VAT collection increased 115.2% when compared to 2023, mainly due to an increase in foreign exchange rates, customs, imports and deferred collections due to the implementation of measures aimed at controlling inflation.

The Government also levies certain taxes on the consumption of certain goods and services. The following table sets forth a sample of the tax rates applicable to certain products.

------

***Taxes on Financial Transactions***

The tax on financial transactions was introduced in 2001 as an exceptional measure and has become an important source of revenue for the Government. The tax is levied on the full amount of most financial transactions, with certain limited exemptions. The standard tax rate is 0.6% for credits and debits from checking accounts, 1.2% for transfers of funds and other cash transfers, and between 0.25% and 0.5% for credits and debits for certain operations and companies. The tax on financial transactions was originally scheduled to expire in December 2002, but Congress extended the expiration date on several consecutive occasions and it is still effective as of the date of this Annual Report.

***Taxes on Income, Utilities and Capital Gains***

Argentine residents and corporations domiciled in Argentina are subject to income tax on their worldwide income. Nonresidents are subject to income tax on Argentine sourced income.

Tax payers are divided in three categories based on income and jurisdiction:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) individuals and undivided estates that are residents in the Republic;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) domestic corporations and permanent establishments located within the Republic; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) foreign beneficiaries, which include individuals, undivided estates, legal entities in general and sole
proprietorships not included in the preceding items a) and b) above.

The following are exempted from taxes on income, utilities and capital gains (as applicable): (i) national, provincial or local authorities, (ii) non-profit organizations (including cooperatives, religious institutions and foundations), (iii) wages of foreign diplomats, (iv) author's rights over their work product (up to Ps.10,000), (v) interests on savings accounts, as long as there are no transfers to foreign fiscal entities; (vi) yield and sales of Argentine public bonds, (vii) negotiable obligations, among others. The Government has exempted or created special incentives (in the form of tax breaks) for projects carried out in certain locations, such as the province of Tierra del Fuego, and for certain economic activities, such as public transportation and garbage collection.

------

There are two main categories of taxes on income in Argentina:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Impuesto a las ganancias* (income tax)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Individuals that are Argentine residents for income tax purposes are taxed on their worldwide income at
progressive rate according to a scale that ranges from 5% to 35%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Individuals that are Argentine residents whose net income includes foreign sources arising from the sale of
shares, certificates of deposit of shares, quotas and social participations (including shares of mutual funds and certificates of participation of trusts and any other right over trusts and similar contracts), digital currencies, bonds and other
securities, as well as from the sale of real estate or transfer of rights over real estate, are taxed on those assets at a rate of 15%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Individuals and undivided estates are taxed on (i) dividends and remittances at a tax rate of 7%, (ii) gains
realized on real estate sales involving property acquired on or after January 1, 2018 at a rate of 15%, and (iii) net gains derived from trade of securities and digital currencies at a tax rate that ranges from 5% to 15%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Non-resident individuals and entities are taxed on Argentine-sourced
income (including income that is presumed to be Argentine sourced) at a rate of 35%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Corporations and other business entities are taxed on their worldwide net income at progressive rate according to
the following scale:

---

| | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Accumulated taxable net income** | **Accumulated taxable net income** | **Accumulated taxable net income** | | | |
| **From** | **To** | **To** | **Fixed amount payable** | **Fixed amount payable** |<br>**Additional percentage<br>per step of the scale <sup>(1)</sup>** |
|  Ps. 0 | Ps. | 34703523.08 | Ps. | 0 | 25% |
|  Ps.34,703,523.08 |  | 347035230.79 |  | 8675880.77 | 30 |
|  Ps. 347,035,230.79 |  | Onwards | Ps. | 102375393.08 | 35% |

---

(1) The additional percentage per step of the scale applies to the differential between the income earned by a
corporation and the floor of the applicable step. For example, a corporation earning Ps.100,000,000 is required to pay income tax in an amount equal to Ps.8,675,880.70, plus 30% of Ps.65,296,476.92 (i.e., the difference between Ps.100,000,000 and
34,703,523.08).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Branches of a foreign companies are also subject to an additional tax at a rate of 7% at the time of remittance
of profits to their parent company.

For changes in income tax introduced in December 2019, see "—Tax Modifications Introduced by the Solidarity Law."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Emergency tax on lotteries and gaming proceeds*. The rate of this tax is 31% and it is levied on 90% of the
net amount of gains from lotteries and games.

On September 12, 2023, the Government issued Decree No. 473/2023, which provided that, for the second semester of 2023, individuals earning a monthly salary below the equivalent of 15 minimum wages would not be subject to income tax. In July 2024, ARCA further regulated the amendments introduced by the Law No. 27.724, *Ley de Medidas Fiscales Paliativas y Relevantes* (Law of Palliative and Relevant Fiscal Measures) by (i) making such law applicable to all employees starting on August 1, 2024 and (ii) providing for a semi-annual adjustment on the tax application scale pursuant to CPI variation.

------

***Taxes on Foreign Trade***

Taxes on foreign trade consist of export and import duties.

Import duties are levied on goods and services imported into Argentina for consumption. They are assessed either *ad valorem* (*i.e*., on the actual value of the good or service) or *per unit* (expressed as a fixed amount per unit), or a combination of both.

The following import duties and their respective rates apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Intra-zone Import Duties*: a 0% import duty rate is levied on imports of consumption goods coming from and
originating in Mercosur member countries, except for sugar and related products, which are subject to an 18% to 20% import duty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Common External Tariff*: an import duty rate ranging from 0% to 35% is levied on imports of consumer goods
originated in non-Mercosur countries but imported into Argentina from another Mercosur member country.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Extra-Zone Import Duties*: the import duty rate levied on consumer goods originating in and coming from non-Mercosur countries is the applicable rate set forth in the Common External Tariff, except for certain products included in exempted lists provided by each of the Mercosur members.

Export duties became an important source of revenue for the Government beginning in 2003, primarily as a result of the high international prices for commodities and the depreciation of the peso, which during the initial years following the devaluation in 2002 increased the competitiveness and value of Argentina's U.S. dollar exports in pesos. Domestic inflation and the real appreciation of the peso over time eroded the competitiveness of Argentine exports. In 2021, the Government announced a series of measures aimed at adjusting export duties to boost exports of goods and services, including (i) the elimination of export duties for incremental exports by MSMEs, (ii) a reduction in export duties on vehicles and automobile parts, (iii) a reduction in export duties for regional products such as fruit juices, peanuts, oats, flax, rye, sunflower and wool products, and (iv) the reduction in export duties on gold and mineral fuels from 12% to 8%.

On September 5, 2022, the Government created the *Programa de Incremento Exportador* (Export Growth Program) for those that exported soybean goods during the 18 months prior to November 28, 2022, granting them an exchange rate of Ps.230 per U.S. dollar. On December 13, 2023, the Government expanded the Export Growth Program, mandating that 80% of export revenues must either be repatriated in foreign currency or traded through the *Mercado Único y Libre de Cambio* (the "MULC"). The remaining 20% must be handled through the trading of negotiable securities, acquired in foreign currency and sold in local currency. This measure aims to optimize the inflow of foreign currency into the country while regulating its flow within the local market.

Export duties tax the export of consumer goods. Services rendered in the country, whose use or effective exploitation is carried out abroad, are also considered goods subject to export taxes.

Set forth below are certain export duty rates in effect as of December 31, 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• exports of crude oil and fuels:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if the international price per barrel of crude oil and fuel is less than or equal to U.S.$45.0, the applicable
export duty is 0%;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if the international price per barrel of crude oil and fuel is higher than or equal to U.S.$60.0, the applicable
export duty is 8%; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if the international price per barrel of crude oil and fuel is higher than U.S.$45.0 and lower than U.S.$60.0,
the export duty is calculated according to the following formula:

![LOGO](g90705dsp127.jpg)

------

Where D is export duty, PI is international price, VB is the base value (equal to U.S.$45.0) and VR is the reference value (equal to U.S.$60.0).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• export duties ranging from 3% to 4.5% on exports of mining sector products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• export duties ranging from 0% to 4.5% on exports of industrial and agro-industrial products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• export duties ranging from 0% to 5% on products from regional economies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• export duties ranging from 29% to 33% on exports of soy and its derivatives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• export duties ranging from 0% to 9% on exports of products from the fishing sector for final consumption that are
elaborated entirely in the national territory;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• export duties ranging from 3% to 4.5% on exports of final goods of automobile parts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• export duties on certified ecological, organic or biological products are 0%, with the exception of wheat, wheat
flour, corn and soy and subproducts of soy, which are taxed at a 5% discount over the respective export duties; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• export duties between 0% and 8% on exports of copper.

Exports by MSMEs are subject to certain tax relief and reduction in duties, provided that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• companies exported from U.S.$0 to U.S.$3 million during the immediately preceding year;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the annual amount free of duty (FOB) value tops U.S.$0.5 million;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• exports are included in MERCOSUR's nomenclature; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• operations carried out by MSMEs on their own account.

In addition, companies that export between U.S.$0.5 million and U.S.$1 million per year for their own account are granted a 50% reduction in export duties.

In May 2024, the Government extended the suspension of export duties on dairy products for an additional year and, in August 2024, export duties on dairy, cow and pork products (except for living cattle) were eliminated.

Import and export duties revenues increased by 266%, from Ps.4,461 billion in 2023 to Ps.16,339 billion in 2024, mainly due to a 315.3% increase in the collection of the *Impuesto PAIS* compared to 2023.

Export duty revenues increased by 290% in 2024 as compared to 2023, mainly due to (i) the increase in the nominal exchange rate and (ii) stronger harvest seasons once the fields recovered from the drought of the 2023/2022 harvest season, which partially offset a decrease in average cereal prices.

Import duty revenues increased by 184% in 2024 compared to 2023, mainly due to an increase in the nominal exchange rate.

***Taxes on Net Worth***

Taxes on net worth include taxes on the value of personal assets owned by individuals, taxes on the net worth of credit unions and a tax on the sales of real estate. In the aggregate, taxes on capital accounted for 2.3% and 1.8% of the Government's overall tax revenues in 2023 and 2024, respectively.

Non-residents and foreign undivided estates are taxed on assets located in Argentina at a rate of 0.5%. Argentine residents are taxed at progressive rates ranging between 0.5% and 1.75% (increased to 2.25% on assets held abroad). See "—Tax Modifications Introduced by the Solidarity Law—Taxes on Capital."

------

***Taxes on Fuels***

The Government levies taxes on the sale of various fuels, including liquid fuels, such as gasoline and diesel, and compressed natural gas. Through 2024, the tax on the sale of liquid fuels was generally levied on importers, refineries and distributors. Taxes on the sale of fuels are assessed *per unit* (expressed as a fixed amount per liter of liquid fuels, updated quarterly and published by AFIP on its website based on the National CPI variations published by INDEC).

***Taxes on Mobile Phones***

Since 2010, the Government has collected a tax on mobile phones, which is recorded as "other taxes." This tax is equal to 1% of customer payments to cell phone companies (net of VAT). In December 2017, the Government enacted legislation increasing the tax on mobile phones to 5% of customer payments to cell phone companies (net of VAT).

***Tax Enforcement***

Recent initiatives introduced by the Government to improve tax collections include the following:

*Double taxation and tax cooperation agreements* 

Argentina has signed cooperation agreements with numerous countries (including in recent years Brazil (2017), Panama (2017), Morocco (2018), Canada (2018), United States (2022), China (2024) and Turkey (2024)) to promote international cooperation in tax matters through the exchange of information and increase the transparency of cross-border commercial transactions. These agreements provide for the sharing of tax information in documentary form and, in certain circumstances, allow representatives of a country's competent authority to conduct interviews and examine records in the territory of a counterparty. In other cases, these agreements provide for mutual assistance in customs procedures.

Argentina is also a party to the 1988 Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters and to the 2014 Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement promoted by the OECD. In 2018, Argentina entered into a memorandum of understanding with the OECD establishing the OECD Latin America Academy for Tax and Financial Crime Investigation, which intends to promote a global approach to the treatment of tax evasion to tackle tax and financial crimes.

During 2022, the AFIP entered into two memorandums of understanding to authorize the Republic's participation in the International Compliance Assurance Program ("ICAP"), with the objective of improving cooperation and transparency between multinational entities and the tax administrations of the jurisdictions where their members operate.

On December 5, 2022, the Government signed an agreement with the Government of the United States aimed at improving international tax compliance through mutual assistance in tax matters based on an effective infrastructure for the automatic and reciprocal exchange of information, and on the implementation of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance (FATCA) provisions.

On May 5, 2025, Argentina adopted the OECD's BEPS Multilateral Instrument through Law No. 27,788, which offers concrete solutions for governments to close loopholes in international tax treaties and allows them to implement agreed minimum standards to counter treaty abuse and to improve dispute resolution mechanisms.

***Tax Modifications Introduced by the Solidarity Law***

On December 27, 2017, the Argentine Congress approved a tax reform (the "2017 Tax Reform"), which was intended to eliminate certain loopholes and inefficiencies of the Argentine tax regime, diminish evasion, increase the coverage of income tax as applied to individuals and encourage investment while sustaining Argentina's medium and long term efforts aimed at restoring fiscal balance.

The lack of economic growth, however, since the changes introduced by the 2017 Tax Reform, resulted in the Republic's tax revenues falling as a percentage of GDP. In December 2019, the Argentine Congress enacted the Solidarity Law, to improve the fiscal balance in the short term through a series of tax and non-tax measures.

The main amendments to the Argentine tax system introduced by the Solidarity Law are:

------

*Employers' Contributions to the Social Security System* 

The Solidarity Law froze the reduction of the average effective rate payed by employers established for the year 2020 under the 2017 Tax Reform and further increases in the non-taxable amount, but provided that companies with less than 25 registered workers may deduct an additional amount of $10,000. In addition, to encourage companies to increase salaries, the Solidarity Law authorized the Government to grant temporary exemptions from the payment of fees and social security contributions on salary increases.

*Adjustments for Inflation* 

The 2017 Tax Reform, as modified in 2018, contemplated a transitional regime regarding the determination of income where such determination results from restatement of financial statements to take account of the effect of inflation.

To further mitigate the fiscal impact that the comprehensive inflation adjustment would have in 2020, the Solidarity Law extended the transitional regime by 72 months.

*Taxes on Capital* 

The Solidarity Law reverted to the rates of 2015, although it maintained the non-taxable bases (which give greater progressiveness to the tax) and entitled the Government to increase by up to 100% the rate applicable to assets held outside of Argentina, subject to certain exceptions resulting from the repatriation of a portion of those assets.

In addition, the Solidarity Law exempted interests derived from certain peso-denominated deposits and financial assets.

*Tax for an Inclusive and Solidary Argentina* 

The Solidarity Law introduced an extraordinary tax levied on the purchase or exchange of foreign currency for savings, offshore payments related to the acquisition of goods and services and other payments linked to outbound tourism and the consumption of goods and services provided in Argentina by non-residents, except for the acquisition of medicines, health-related benefits, books, the use of educational platforms and expenses associated with research projects (the "*Impuesto PAIS*"). The *Impuesto PAIS* rate was set at 30% of the amount of each transaction, except for the price paid on digital services, which are levied at an 8% tax rate. 70% of the revenues from the *Impuesto PAIS* are earmarked for the financing of ANSES programs and the remaining 30% to fund economic infrastructure and social housing. In 2020 and 2021, tax collections associated to the *Impuesto PAIS* amounted to Ps.135.0 billion and Ps.111.4 billion, respectively.

*Tax on Bank Debits and Credits and Other Financial Transactions* 

In order to minimize the use of cash and encourage the formal economy and financial inclusion, the Solidarity Law provided that when cash withdrawals are made, the amount of the bank debit shall be subject to double the applicable rate in force. Individuals and SMEs are not covered by this regulation.

*Internal Taxes* 

Internal taxes cover tobacco, alcoholic beverages, telephone services, luxury goods, automobiles, motorcycles, pleasure boats and airplanes, among others. These taxes were modified with the Solidarity Law to protect domestic production and tax consumption of luxury products. In particular, to increase the progressiveness of internal taxes, the prior 20% single rate system for land motor vehicles, motorcycles, vessels and aircraft was replaced by a system of scales by sales price that will be adjusted quarterly to reflect the evolution of the Internal Wholesale Price Index. In the case of automobiles and motorcycles, scales depend on the value of the automobile or motorcycle.

*Corporate Income Tax* 

The Solidarity Law suspended the reduction of the corporate income tax rate for 2020 established by the 2017 Tax Reform, which was set at 30%.

*Income Tax* 

Workers whose salary did not exceed Ps.3,503,688 per year (equivalent to Ps.237,772 per month, including a 13<sup>th</sup> salary as an annual bonus) by the end of 2024, were exempt from income tax payments. The maximum amount is adjusted semi-annually by reference to changes in the IPC corresponding to the immediately preceding semester. See "Recent Developments—Public Sector Finances—Tax Regime—Taxes on Income, Utilities and Capital Gains."

------

*Income Tax Exemptions on Certain Financial Assets* 

The Solidarity Law suspended the taxes applicable to capital companies and dividends paid and profit remittances made by permanent establishments for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. Moreover, it increased rates for corporations and permanent establishments to 30%, and reduced rates for distribution of dividends to individuals and undivided estates to 7%.

*Moratorium for SMEs* 

The Solidarity Law empowered the Government to establish a moratorium aimed at allowing SMEs and non-for-profit organizations to comply with their tax obligations.

***Asset Regularization Regime***

In July 2024, Congress enacted Law No. 27,743 establishing a tax amnesty law, the *Régimen de Regularización de Activos* (Asset Regularization Regime), which allows taxpayers to declare assets owned as of December 31, 2023, in order to normalize their tax situation and avoid future penalties. The regime permits a tax-free declaration of assets up to U.S.$100,000, with a 5% penalty applied to amounts exceeding that threshold, increasing to 10% for assets declared between September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2024. Additionally, the regime provides a tax exemption for amounts over U.S.$100,000 that are invested in a range of local government and corporate bonds, stocks, and new real estate projects, aimed at stimulating the construction sector.

On June 27, 2024, the Government (i) increased the minimum taxable amount for a tax payer's real state destined to inhabitance to Ps.350 million, (ii) increased the minimum taxable base for the personal assets tax to Ps.100 million, and (iii) provided a special rate for tax payments made five years in advance.

In September 2024, the Government extended the deadline for declaring participation in the Asset Regularization Regime and making the mandatory advance payment to October 31, 2024, to ease administrative tasks for banks, tax advisors, and taxpayers. As of October 1, 2024, individuals who withdraw funds, either partially or fully, from assets regularized by September 30, will be ineligible to regularize additional amounts. Additionally, funds regularized during the extension must remain in special accounts or be allocated to authorized investments until October 31, 2024. From November 1, 2024, individuals may withdraw up to U.S. $100,000 without withholding, but amounts exceeding that amount must remain invested in authorized destinations until December 31, 2025, to avoid a 5% withholding.

On November 11, 2024, private sector deposits in foreign currency increased to U.S.$20.6 billion, compared to U.S.$7.7 billion during the previous tax amnesty law issued in 2016. This increase was mainly a result of the expiration of the first phase of the Asset Regularization Regime.

In October 2024, President Milei announced the dissolution of the AFIP, the current tax collection authority, and its replacement with the newly created ARCA, which will retain AFIP's dual responsibilities of overseeing tax collection and customs monitoring. This measure aims to further reduce the size of the State by eliminating inefficiencies. ARCA is expected to feature a simpler structure, cutting bureaucracy, lowering costs, and reducing the number of employees.

**Composition of Public Expenditures**

***Expenditures on Social Programs***

The Government devotes a substantial portion of its revenues to social programs. From 2020 to 2024, social programs expenditures accounted on average for 66.3% of annual National Administration expenditures, of which social security payments alone accounted on average for 46.9%. These social programs include the social security system, cultural goods and services, education, science and technology programs, the health-care system, low-income housing programs, social welfare programs and labor subsidies.

In particular, in 2024, social security expenditures increased by 176.6% compared to 2023, mainly as a result of (i) the social security system's transfers to pensioners to comply with legal minimum adjustments required to offset inflation and (ii) the increase in the number of beneficiaries due to a moratorium of social security debts announced by the Government.

On February 28, 2024, the Government transformed the *Plan Potenciar Trabajo* (Plan to Boost Employment) in two separate programs: (i) the *Acompañamiento Social* (Social Support) for people over 50 years old and mothers of four or more children under 18 years old and (ii) *Volver al Trabajo* (Return to Employment) to improve the employability of informal workers through training activities, on-the-job training and support for entrepreneurship.

In May 2024, the Government increased the benefits under the *Plan Nacional de la Argentina Contra el Hambre* (Argentina's National Plan against Hunger) by 8.6%.

***Public Infrastructure and Services***

The main projects in public infrastructure include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• construction of railroads and roads;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• construction and improvements to power lines to transport electricity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• extension of gas transportation systems for thermoelectric plants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• construction of water pipelines and drainage; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• construction of gas pipelines.

For more information see "—Infrastructure Development."

***Public Debt Service***

The Government has only recorded interest paid on performing debt. The data discussed below does not include interest accrued on Untendered Debt, a portion of which was settled in April 2016 and in subsequent transactions thereafter. Untendered Debt has been defined to include only unpaid principal plus accrued and unpaid interest at contractual rates through its originally scheduled maturity. Such amounts do not include penalty or default interest. The Republic has not offered to pay time-barred claims on principal or interest. In settling outstanding disputes with holdout creditors, the Government took into consideration interest accrued after the originally scheduled maturity of each defaulted series of securities (other than time-barred interest), as well as default interest. See "Public Sector Debt—Legal Proceedings." Interest paid on the debt securities issued since April 2016 (the net proceeds of which were applied in whole or in part to settle claims under Untendered Debt) are reflected under Public Debt Service. In 2020, interest payments as a percentage of total expenditures decreased from 19.7% in 2019 to 9.0% in 2020 and decreased by 32.5% in nominal terms, mainly due to liability management transactions, particularly the 2020 Debt Exchanges. In 2021, interest payments as a percentage of total expenditures decreased from 9.0% in 2020 to 7.2% in 2021 and increased by 22.7% in nominal terms. In 2022, interest payments as a percentage of total expenditures increased from 7.2% in 2021 to 9.1% in 2022 and increased by 106.3% in nominal terms. In 2023, interest payments as a percentage of total expenditures remained stable at 9.1% in 2022 and 2023, and increased by 116.9% in nominal terms. In 2024, the public debt service as a percentage of total expenditures increased from 9.1% in 2023 to 10.5% in 2024 and increased by 171.2% in nominal terms. See "Public Sector Debt—Debt Record—2020 Debt Exchanges."

***Defense and Security***

Government expenditures in defense and security represented 3.6% of total expenditures in 2020, 3.8% of total expenditures in 2021, 4.1% of total expenditures in 2022, 4.5% of total expenditures in 2023 and 4.9% of total expenditures in 2024.

***General Administration Expenses***

In 2020, general administration expenses as a percentage of total government expenditures increased to 4.5% from 3.1% in 2019, and increased by 114.7% in nominal terms as compared to 2019. This increase was mainly due to a 178.0% increase in remittances to the provinces and municipalities to cope with COVID-19.

In 2021, general administration expenses as a percentage of total government expenditures decreased to 3.6% from 4.5% in 2020, and increased by 20.7% in nominal terms as compared to 2020.

In 2022, general administration expenses as a percentage of total government expenditures decreased to 3.5% from 3.6% in 2021, and increased by 59.7% in nominal terms as compared to 2021.

In 2023, general administration expenses as a percentage of total government expenditures increased to 4.2% from 3.5% in 2022, and increased by 160.5% in nominal terms as compared to 2022.

In 2024, general administration expenses as a percentage of total government expenditures decreased to 2.5% from 4.2% in 2023, and increased by 39.1% in nominal terms as compared to 2023.

**The Budget** 

The Chief of the Cabinet of Ministers is responsible for preparing the National Administration's budget, which must project the National Administration's fiscal results for the next three years. Although the budget is prepared on a tri-annual basis, Congress only approves the budget for the following year. Once a budget is approved, the Government can transfer the allocated amounts to the various agencies and to the provinces and the City of Buenos Aires on a quarterly basis. The *Auditoría General de la Nación* (National General Audit Agency) is responsible for supervising budgetary compliance by the National Administration and its agencies. The Public Sector Financial Administration Law prohibits the Government from borrowing to cover operating expenses.

On September 15, 2024, the Government submitted to Congress a draft bill of the national budget for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 (the "2025 Budget"). On December 27, 2024, the Government issued Decree No. 1131/2024, which extended the budget sanctioned in 2023 to 2025. On December 27, 2024, the Government issued Decree No. 1131/2024, which extended the budget sanctioned in 2023 to 2025.

The draft 2026 Budget includes the following macroeconomic and fiscal assumptions for 2026: (i) a real GDP growth of approximately 5.0%, (ii) a 4.9% increase in private consumption, (iii) a 1.2% increase in public consumption, (iv) a 9.4% increase in investments, and (v) a 10.6% increase in exports and a 11.1% increase in imports, in each case, compared to 2024. Total expenditures for the public sector for 2025 were estimated at 15.3% of GDP, total primary expenditures at 14.1% of GDP and total revenues were estimated at 15.6% of GDP.

The table below presents a comparison between budgeted information for 2024 and 2025 for the National Public Sector, in each case, as included in the 2025 Budget.

**Fiscal Relations with the Provinces** 

Each of Argentina's 23 provinces and the City of Buenos Aires is a separate legal and fiscal entity, independent from one another and the Government. Argentina's federal system allocates significant responsibility for public services and other public expenditures to the provinces, but relies primarily on a centralized system of tax collection. The provinces rely on revenue transfers from the Government, primarily through the Co-Participation Regime (as defined below). See "—Revenue Transfers." Under the Constitution, the provinces delegate to the Government their authority to collect certain taxes, and the Government, in turn, agreed under the Co-Participation Regime to transfer a portion of the revenues generated from such taxes to the provinces.

From 2020 to 2024, the aggregate annual expenditures of the provinces (including the City of Buenos Aires) averaged 14.9% of nominal GDP, while the provinces (including the City of Buenos Aires), on average, collected annual revenues of approximately 15.1% of nominal GDP (including co-participation amounts). The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the aggregate fiscal results at the provincial level for the periods specified.

***Revenue Transfers***

Currently, revenue transfers between the Government and the provinces take place under the Co-Participation Regime and several other special revenue-distribution arrangements. The 1988 Co-Participation Law as amended in 2002 (the "Co-Participation Law") governs the current co-participation regime (the "Co-Participation Regime"). Originally intended as a temporary measure, the Co-Participation Law has been automatically renewed every year since it was due to expire at the end of 1989. Although the 1994 amendments to the Constitution called for the adoption of a new co-participation law by 1996, none has been adopted. Since the mid-1980s, the executive branches of the Government and the provinces and the City of Buenos Aires have maintained consensual agreements concerning revenue transfers, which Congress has routinely ratified. The *Comisión Federal de Impuestos* (Federal Tax Commission), a federal agency created pursuant to the Co-Participation Law, monitors compliance with the Co-Participation Regime.

------

The Co-Participation Law requires the Government to transfer to a federal co-participation fund 100.0% of income tax revenues (net of Ps.580 million, as described below), 89.0% of value-added tax revenues, 100.0% of revenues from the notional minimum income tax and 93.7% of revenues from the personal property tax, 100.0% of the revenues from excise tax and other minor taxes. The 2017 Fiscal Consensus establishes that 100.0% of revenues generated by the tax on financial transactions will be allocated to ANSES. Additionally, the 2017 Fiscal Consensus provided for (i) certain compensations to those jurisdictions whose funds were reduced as a result of certain changes in the allocations of income tax and financial transactions tax and (ii) a specific compensation to the Province of Buenos Aires due to the dismantling of the *Fondo del Conurbano Bornaerense.*

The special distribution arrangements in place through December 31, 2024, in addition to the federal Co-Participation Regime, include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *VAT*. 11% of VAT revenues (after deducting export refunds) were distributed as follows: 6.27% to those
provinces whose social security funds had not been transferred to the federal Government (Buenos Aires, Chaco, Chubut, Córdoba, Corrientes, Entre Rios, Formosa, La Pampa, Misiones, Neuquén, Santa Cruz, Santa Fe and Tierra del Fuego)
and the remaining 93.73% to ANSES;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Taxes on Liquid Fuels and Carbon Dioxide*. 10.40% of revenues generated by taxes on liquid fuels and carbon
dioxide is allocated to the provinces and the City of Buenos Aires through the National Housing Fund (*Fonavi*), distributed as follows: (i) 60% to roadways, (ii) 30% to infrastructure and (iii) 10% to the *Fondo Especial Desarrollo Electrico del Interior* (Special Electricity Development Fund for the Provinces and City of Buenos Aires).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Personal Property Tax*. After deducting Ps.3.0 million to INCUCAI, 6.27% are allocated to provinces
whose social security funds had not been transferred to the federal Government; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Monotributo* (self-employment tax). Revenue from the self-employment tax is divided into a tax component
and a social security component. The tax component is allocated: 70% to ANSES system and 30% as provided in the Co-Participation Law. The social security component is entirely allocated to ANSES.

***Dispute with the City of Buenos Aires***

In January 2016, the Macri administration increased the distribution of co-participation taxes to the City of Buenos Aires from 1.4% to 3.75% in the context of the transfer to such jurisdiction of competencies in the area of public safety in non-federal matters, including the transfer of all personnel, agencies, functions, competencies, services and assets affected up to that time. Such percentage was reduced to 3.5% in 2018 pursuant to an agreement between the Government and the City of Buenos Aires. In September 2020, the Fernández administration reduced such co-participation percentage to 2.32%. Following such decision, the City of Buenos Aires filed a petition for unconstitutionality before the Supreme Court.

In December 2020, through Law 27,606, the City of Buenos Aires' co-participation rate was further reduced to 1.4%. In addition, the City of Buenos Aires began to receive a contribution from the National Treasury to finance the police forces.

In December 2022, the Supreme Court of Justice issued an injunction (i) establishing that the Government must send to the City of Buenos Aires 2.95% of the co-participation funds until such court renders a decision on the merits and (ii) suspending the effectiveness of Law 27,606. Starting in September 2024, the National Treasury began making direct (current) transfers to the City of Buenos Aires in order to comply with the Supreme Court's injunction.

***Other Arrangements with the Provinces***

Since the late 1990s, the Government entered into different arrangements with the provinces to regularize their fiscal situation. Under these arrangements, the Government provides financial assistance to the provinces in various forms and subject to various conditions. Some of these programs are highlighted below.

*Fiscal Responsibility Law*. The Fiscal Responsibility Law was enacted in 2004 and is only binding on those provinces and the City of Buenos Aires, that approved it. To date, 21 of 23 provinces and the City of Buenos Aires have approved the Fiscal Responsibility Law. This law implements important reforms to the fiscal framework for Argentina's national, provincial and municipal public sectors. Some of its key features include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Government and the provinces must prepare annual fiscal programs for each upcoming year setting forth certain
fiscal policies, targets and projections, and regularly publish their fiscal results on their respective websites;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the growth rate of the primary expenditures of the national and provincial governments may not exceed the growth
rate of the CPI;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• once a balanced financial result is achieved, the nominal rate of increase in primary current expenditures may
not exceed the nominal GDP growth rate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Government and the provinces must maintain balanced budgets;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Government and the provinces must create special anti-cyclical funds to reduce volatility in the fiscal
cycle;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the provinces may not incur debt service obligations in excess of 15% of provincial current revenues net of co-participation transfers to the municipal governments (other than in connection with expenditures for the promotion of economic activity, employment and social assistance). Any province in breach of this limit
would be precluded, with certain exceptions, from incurring additional debt;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Government must commit to reduce its outstanding debt as a percentage of nominal GDP following its debt
restructuring;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the provinces must seek approval from the Ministry of Economy to incur debt or issue guarantees; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Ministry of Economy must base its approval of provincial debt issues or guarantees on the parameters set
forth in the law.

The Fiscal Responsibility Law, however, does not implement any amendments to the Federal Co-Participation Regime.

On November 16, 2017, all provinces (except San Luis and La Pampa) approved the 2017 Fiscal Consensus, establishing rules designed to enhance sound public finance practices at the national and provincial levels and ensure that each jurisdiction maintains control over its expenses, such as capping increases in public expenditures for any given period at the inflation rate for that period, and capping increases in overall public employment at the rate of population growth. Through the 2017 Fiscal Consensus, the provinces commit to limit tax increases, especially on taxes on labor and production and the financing of labor and production, in order to foster economic growth at the national and provincial level.

The 2017 Fiscal Consensus was amended by Law 27,469 (2018 Fiscal Consensus), Law 27,542 (2019 Fiscal Consensus), Law 27,634 (2020 Fiscal Consensus), Law 27,687 (2021 Fiscal Consensus) and articles 20 to 22 of Law 27,591, which modified the Fiscal Responsibility regime, in particular with regards to the incurrence of debt.

**Social Security** 

***Reform of the Pension Funds System***

On November 20, 2008, Congress approved Law No. 26,425, reforming the private pension system. Under this law, the former private pension system was absorbed and replaced by the Argentine Integrated Pension System, structured as a "pay as you go" system. As a result, all resources administered by the private pension funds, including equity interests in a wide range of listed companies, were transferred to a separate fund, the FGS, to be administered by the ANSES. The assets held in the FGS may only be used to make advances to the Government to cover unexpected budget deficits that prevent the Government (through ANSES) from honoring its obligation to make social security and pension payments. As of December 31, 2024, the FGS was valued at Ps.76,905 billion.

Decree No. 2,103/08 requires that the FGS invest in financial assets that include, among other instruments, Government bonds or local securities of recognized solvency. ANSES prioritizes investments that mitigate the financial impact that economic and social trends have on the public pension system, act as a reserve fund providing an appropriate investment of any public pension system surpluses, contribute to preserve the value and profitability of FGS's resources and the sustainable development of the public pension system and address any shortfalls in such system's or ANSES's financing.

The FGS has decision making bodies and control bodies. The Executive Director of ANSES manages the FGS with the assistance of an Executive Committee (composed of the Secretary of Finance, Treasury and Economic Policy of the Ministry of Economy). The Deputy Director of Operations of the FGS is the Executive Secretary of the Executive Committee and also its Operating Manager. Decisions are taken by simple majority, although the Executive Director of ANSES has veto rights. In addition to the Council of the FGS (which includes representatives of workers, retirees, businessmen, legislators, the cabinet of ministers and of the ANSES), the activities of the FGS are audited by a Join Congressional Commission for Control of Funds, the Audit of the FGS, the General Audit of the Nation and the Office of the Ombudsman of the Nation.

***Social Security Framework***

ANSES is a self-governing entity with its own legal status, distinct from that of the National Government, and enjoys financial and economic autonomy.

------

Three separate institutions manage Argentina's national public pension system:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ANSES, which oversees the pension funds of the general public;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the *Instituto de Ayuda Financiera para Pago de Retiros y Pensiones Militares* (Armed Forces Pension Fund),
which manages a special pension fund for the armed forces; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the *Caja de Retiros, Jubilaciones y Pensiones de la Policía Federal* (Federal Police Pension Fund),
which manages a special pension fund for federal law enforcement personnel.

A significant portion of ANSES's investments portfolio includes Government bonds.

Between 1994 and 1996, the Government assumed responsibility for operating the provincial pension systems of 10 provinces and the City of Buenos Aires. The Government merged these provincial pension funds into ANSES.

The current public social security system provides the following main benefits for retirees and for eligible individuals:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Ordinary pensions, consisting of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Prestación básica universal* (Basic pension). ANSES provides a basic pension to all
individuals who have paid social security contributions for a majority of their working lives and have reached retirement age, regardless of the amount of the contributions made. The amount of this benefit is fixed by law and bears no relation to
the amount of the contributions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Prestación compensatoria* (Compensatory pension). ANSES also provides a compensatory pension to
recipients of the basic pension in proportion to any social security contributions made by or on behalf of such recipient prior to July 1994. The amount of this supplemental pension is determined based on an individual's social security
contributions and the length of time during which contributions were made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Prestación adicional por permanencia* (Additional pension). Recipients of the basic pension and
compensatory pension also receive an additional pension. The amount of this benefit is equivalent to 1.5% of the average yearly salary during the ten years before retirement, multiplied by each service year for which an individual made social
security contributions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Special pensions and allowances, consisting mainly of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Retiro por invalidez* (Disability retirement). Allowance granted to disabled individuals under the age of
65. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Jubilación por edad avanzada* (Pension for the elderly). Allowance granted to individuals over the
age of 70 who do not qualify for a basic retirement pension.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Pensión por fallecimiento* (Death pension). Allowance granted to certain dependents of a deceased
retiree, if at the time of the retiree's death, such dependents were unable to work due to a disability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Universal Child Allowance*: ANSES provides a monthly pension child per under the age of 18 and per disabled
child (with no age limit) of workers in the informal sector of the economy, employees with income below the minimum monthly wage and the unemployed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Universal Pregnancy Allowance:* ANSES provides a monthly allowance to pregnant women, who have no medical
insurance, from the twelfth week of pregnancy.

Argentina's social security system also includes the following two unemployment programs:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unemployment insurance that provides one-time or monthly benefits to
terminated employees and their dependents who meet certain requirements; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Heads of Households program, sponsored by the World Bank, under which unemployed heads of households receive
benefit payments in exchange for community service. Heads of Households program beneficiaries may opt for a new plan called *Más y Mejor Empleo* (More and Better Jobs), as well as the *Seguro de Capacitación y Empleo* (Training and Employment Insurance) and the *Programa Familias por la Inclusión Social* (Families for Social Inclusion Program).

Currently, the national social security system is funded primarily through the following taxes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• payroll taxes based on employee wages (usually 11% for employees and between 18% and 20.4% for employers,
depending on the employer's line of business);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• mandatory employee contributions to the *Instituto Nacional de Servicios Sociales para Jubilados y Pensionados* (National Institute of Pensioner and Retiree Social Services) (equal to 3% of the employee's wages);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the employee health system tax based on employee wages (3% for employees and 6% for employers); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the *Monotributo* (self-employment tax) system applicable to self-employed individuals (under which amounts
are determined on an individual basis according to assumed income ranges for various lines of work).

------

Other fiscal revenues allocated to cover costs of ANSES include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 11% of VAT revenues (after deducting export refunds) were distributed as follows: 6.27% to provinces whose social
security funds had not been transferred to the federal Government (Buenos Aires, Chaco, Chubut, Córdoba, Corrientes, Entre Rios, Formosa, La Pampa, Misiones, Neuquén, Santa Cruz, Santa Fe and Tierra del Fuego) and the remaining 93.73%
to ANSES;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 100% of revenues from the emergency tax on cigarettes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 70% of *Monotributo*;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 100% of the tax on financing transactions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 42% of the *Impuesto PAIS*.

***Evolution of Social Security Revenues and Expenditures***

From 2020 to 2024, the social security system result increased from a deficit of Ps.1,271.2 billion in 2020 to a surplus of Ps.2,425.7 billion in 2024. This was mainly due to an increase in revenues, particularly social security contributions, which grew faster tan expenditures, allowing the deficit of previous years to be reversed. The increase in expenditures between 2020 and 2024 was a result of an automatic increase in benefit amounts mandated by Law No. 27,426, Law No. 27,609 and Decree No. 274/2024 (the Social Security Mobility Regime), which address the mobility of public social security regimes. These laws updated minimum pensions considering tax collection, minimum wages and inflation rates.

*Social security revenues*. In 2020, social security revenues increased by 26.3% as compared to 2019 to Ps.1,548.0 billion, mainly driven by an increase in taxable wages as compared to 2019. In 2021, social security revenues increased by 54.9% as compared to 2020 to Ps.2,398.1 billion, mainly driven by an increase in taxable wages and employment in the formal economy. In 2022, social security revenues increased by 80.6% as compared to 2021 to Ps.4,332 billion, mainly driven by an increase in taxable wages and employment in the formal economy. In 2023, social security revenues increased by 124.4% as compared to 2022 to Ps.9,723.1 billion, mainly driven by an increase in taxable wages and employment in the formal economy. In 2024, social security revenues increased by 208.7% as compared to 2023 to Ps.30,010.6 billion, mainly driven by an increase in taxable wages.

*Social security expenditures*. In 2020, social security expenditures increased by 63.0% to Ps.3,614.9 billion. In 2021, social security expenditures increased by 24.6% to Ps.4,505.7 billion. In 2022, social security expenditures increased by 74.8% to Ps.7,877.6 billion. In 2023, social security expenditures increased by 113.2% to Ps.16,792.8 billion. In 2024, social security expenditures increased by 176.6% to Ps.46,445.3 billion.

***Retiree Programs and Ley de Reforma Previsional (Pension Reform Law)***

On December 29, 2020, Congress enacted a pension reform law (the "2020 Pension Reform Law") to improve the sustainability and predictability of the Argentine pension program. To that effect, the basic formula for the periodic adjustment of retirements, pensions and the Universal Child Allowance was modified as of March 2021, to provide for quarterly adjustments based on a formula combining ANSES revenues for the period (given a 50% weight in the formula) with the RIPTE, an index published by the Ministry of Labor that measures salary increases of state employees (given the remaining 50% weight in the formula).

In 2023, the Government carried out a series of significant adjustments to pension assets, in accordance with the Social Security Mobility Law, with the objective of preserving the purchasing power of retirees. The increases were applied through a staggered approach, amounting to 17.04%, 20.92%, 23.29% and 20.87% in March, June, September and December, respectively. In addition, the Government implemented a monthly bonus for low-income retirees and pensioners starting at Ps.10,000 in January and progressively increasing until reaching Ps.55,000 in December. This progressive bonus policy was aimed at mitigating the effects of inflation and providing additional economic support to the most vulnerable sectors of the retired population.

In March 2024, the Government enacted Decree No. 274/24 establishing that future adjustments to pensions and allowances would be based on increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). In October 2024, pensions and allowances rose by 4.17%, and retirees received a Ps. 70,000 bonus, bringing the minimum pension to Ps. 314,320.56 per month. Retirees whose pensions do not reach this amount are expected to receive a proportional bonus to ensure they receive the full Ps.314,320.56. In December 2024, pensions and allowances rose by 2.7%, and retirees received a Ps.70,000 bonus and half a monthly pension as a year's end bonus, the minimum pension was increased by 2.7%, plus a Ps 70,000 bonus and half of the pension as a year's end bonus, bringing the minimum pension to Ps.459,398.14 per month.

**PUBLIC SECTOR DEBT** 

**Overview** 

Unless otherwise specified, the amounts of the Republic's securities outstanding included in this section "Public Debt" were calculated as of December 31, 2024.

The Republic's total gross public debt consists of foreign currency-denominated and peso-denominated debt owed directly by the Government and indirect debt consisting of Government guarantees of obligations of other national public institutions, the provinces (including the City of Buenos Aires) and private sector entities. It does not include direct debt of the provinces or other entities that is not guaranteed by the Government. Except where indicated, foreign currency-denominated debt and peso-denominated debt is comprised of performing and non-performing debt (including Untendered Debt). See "—Legal Proceedings."

On February 5, 2020, Congress enacted legislation authorizing the Executive Power, acting through the Ministry of Economy, to engage in transactions and negotiations with Argentina's creditors to restore the sustainability of its public external debt (the "Debt Sustainability Bill"), including by modifying the principal amounts, maturities and interest payments of public securities issued by Argentina and governed by foreign law. Pursuant to the Debt Sustainability Bill, between April and September 2020, the Government conducted the 2020 Debt Exchanges. See "—Debt Record—2020 Debt Exchanges."

The Republic's total gross public debt, including Untendered Debt, for the years 2020 through 2024, was:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• U.S.$335.6 billion, as of December 31, 2020;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• U.S.$363.2 billion, as of December 31, 2021;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• U.S.$396.6 billion, as of December 31, 2022;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• U.S.$370.7 billion, as of December 31, 2023; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• U.S.$466.9 billion, as of December 31, 2024.

Of the U.S.$466.9 billion of the Republic's total gross public debt outstanding as of December 31, 2024, peso-denominated debt totaled U.S.$209.3 billion, representing 44.8% of the Republic's total gross public debt, of which 64.0% corresponded to CER-index linked debt and foreign currency-denominated debt totaled U.S.$257.7 billion, representing 55.2% of the Republic's total gross public debt.

As of December 31, 2024, total gross public debt (including non-performing debt and Untendered Debt) by type of creditor was as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 46.5% of total gross public debt, or U.S.$217.3 billion, primarily consisted of Public Debt held by National
Public Sector Agencies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 36.5% of total gross public debt, or U.S.$170.3 billion, was Public Debt held by private sector creditors;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 17.0% of total gross public debt, or U.S.$79.3 billion, primarily consisted of Public Debt held by
multilateral and bilateral lenders.

As of December 31, 2024, total gross public debt (excluding non-performing debt and Untendered Debt) by type of instrument was as follows: 73.3%, or U.S.342.3 billion in bonds; 17.0%, or U.S.$79.3 billion, in loans from multilateral and bilateral lenders; 7.3% or U.S.34.1 billion, in treasury notes and treasury bills; 0.6% or U.S.$2.9 billion in *Avales* and promissory notes; 0.8% or U.S.$4.0 billion in temporary advances from the Central Bank; 0.2% or U.S.$0.9 billion in loans from commercial banks; 0.2% or U.S.$1.0 billion in National Guaranteed Loans; 0.02% or U.S.$0.1 billion in non-performing debt; and U.S.$2.3 billion or 0.5% in Untendered Debt.

Untendered Debt has been defined to include unpaid principal plus accrued and unpaid interest at contractual rates through December 31, 2024 plus compensatory or default interest. The Republic has not offered to pay time-barred claims on principal or interest.

As of December 31, 2024, nominal claims on account of Untendered Debt (including solely for this purpose claims that the Republic considers time-barred), as registered in the public accounts of the Ministry of Economy, totaled approximately U.S.$2.3 billion.

------

As of December 31, 2024, non-performing debt (excluding Untendered Debt) totaled U.S.$102.1 million, or less than 0.02% of total gross public debt.

**Debt Record** 

***Introduction***

From time to time, the Republic has carried out debt restructuring transactions in accordance with Section 65 of Law No. 24,156 and other applicable legislation with official as well as private creditors. Between 1990 and 2024, the Republic entered into four restructurings of external and domestic debt in default: the Brady Plan, the 2005 Debt Exchange, the 2010 Debt Exchange and the 2020 Debt Exchanges.

***Paris Club***

The Republic restructured debt owed to members of the Paris Club, a group of sovereign creditors, through five separate agreements in 1985, 1987, 1989, 1991 and 1992. During the debt crisis that began in 2001, the Republic defaulted on its outstanding debt owed to Paris Club members. As of April 30, 2014, the total outstanding debt owed to members of the Paris Club amounted to U.S.$9,690 million, which consisted of U.S.$4,955 million in principal, U.S.$1,102 million in interest and U.S.$3,633 million in penalty interest. On May 29, 2014, the Republic reached a settlement agreement with the Paris Club to cancel the total outstanding debt in five years. As of December 31, 2019, U.S.$1,941.2 million principal amount remained outstanding. On April 7, 2020, the Minister of Economy sent the Paris Club members a proposal to modify the existing terms of the Paris Club 2014 Settlement Agreement, seeking mainly an extension of the maturity dates and a significant reduction in the interest rate. On June 22, 2021, the Minister of Economy announced that the Republic had obtained a "time bridge" within the framework of Paris Club negotiations, avoiding default. On October 28, 2022, the Republic and the Paris Club creditors reached an agreement to amend the Paris Club 2014 Settlement Agreement, to reschedule an estimated stock of arrears of U.S.$1.9 billion (the "Amended Paris Club Settlement Agreement"). The repayment of the outstanding amounts under the Amended Paris Club Settlement Agreement is to be made in 13 installments over a six-year period and reducing the applicable interest rate from 9.0% to 4.5%. As of December 31, 2024, the Republic had paid the first three installments under the Amended Paris Club Settlement Agreement (as defined herein) and finalized the execution of bilateral agreements with all Paris Club creditors involved in the negotiation. See "Recent Developments—Public Sector Debt—Debt Owed to Financial Institutions—Paris Club."

***Commercial Banks***

In 1985 and 1987, the Republic negotiated the restructuring of U.S.$34.7 billion in debt owed to international commercial bank creditors. In addition to the banks extending new loans in the aggregate amount of approximately U.S.$3.0 billion, two bond issuances formed part of this restructuring: "new money bonds" and "alternative participation instruments," or "APIs." Interest payments to bank creditors were suspended in April 1988 and resumed on a partial basis until the refinancing of medium- and long-term commercial bank debt under the Brady Plan (as described below).

***The Brady Plan***

In April 1992, the Republic announced a refinancing agreement under the Brady Plan relating to medium- and long-term debt owed to commercial banks. The Brady Plan applied to an estimated U.S.$28.5 billion in debt, including an estimated U.S.$9.3 billion in interest arrears, representing over 96.0% of the commercial bank debt then outstanding. The Brady Plan effected a reduction of approximately U.S.$3 billion in the nominal amount of the Republic's foreign debt.

Over 96.0% of the commercial bank debt was refinanced pursuant to the Brady Plan. The Brady Plan provided for the issuance of par bonds, discount bonds and floating rate bonds, and a cash payout of U.S.$700 million in exchange for previously outstanding commercial bank debt of U.S.$28.5 billion, which included U.S.$9.3 billion of interest in arrears.

The Republic serviced the Brady Bonds until its default in 2001. Approximately 95.7% of the then outstanding U.S. dollar-denominated Brady Bonds and 81.3% of the then-outstanding euro-denominated Brady Bonds were exchanged in the 2005 Debt Exchange.

In March 2023, Citibank, N.A.'s New York and Frankfurt branches, in their role as fiscal agents with respect to the Republic's 2038 Par Bonds and 2030 Discount Bonds, requested the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to liquidate the guarantees for the payment of such series of bonds in a portion required to comply with the attachment ordered by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.

------

***2001 Debt Crisis***

On December 24, 2001, the Government (under the temporary administration of President Rodríguez Saá) declared a moratorium on a substantial portion of the Republic's public debt. President Duhalde, his successor, endorsed the moratorium when he took office some days later. The Public Emergency Law, enacted on January 6, 2002, authorized the Government to take the measures necessary to create conditions for an economic recovery and to restructure the Republic's public debt.

On February 6, 2002, the Government officially suspended payments on the Republic's public debt and authorized the Ministry of Economy to undertake a restructuring of these obligations. Subsequently, the Government issued various measures refining the scope of the suspension of debt payments. As a result of these measures, the Government continued to meet its debt obligations to the following creditors:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• multilateral official lenders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• creditors that agreed to the pesification of their National Guaranteed Loans;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• holders of new bonds (such as Boden) issued after the Government announced the suspension of debt payments; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• certain other categories of public debt.

***2005 Debt Exchange***

On January 14, 2005, Argentina invited holders of 152 different series of securities on which it had defaulted in 2001 to exchange their defaulted debt for 2038 Par Bonds, 2045 Quasi-Par Bonds, 2033 Discount Bonds and 2035 GDP-Linked Securities. The aggregate eligible amount of securities that were eligible to participate in the exchange (including principal of the eligible securities plus accrued but unpaid interest accumulated through December 2001) was approximately U.S.$81.8 billion. The aggregate eligible amount of securities tendered in the 2005 Debt Exchange was (in each case together with past due interest) approximately U.S.$62.3 billion, representing 76.2% of the aggregate eligible amount of eligible securities.

Depending on the security tendered and the time of tender, holders of eligible securities who participated in the 2005 Debt Exchange were entitled to receive, in exchange for their securities, different combinations of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the 2038 Par Bonds due December 31, 2038;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the 2033 Discount Bonds due December 31, 2033;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the 2045 Quasi-Par Bonds due December 31, 2045; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the 2035 GDP-Linked Securities with a notional amount of GDP-linked securities expiring no later than December 15, 2035.

Brady bondholders tendered Brady Bonds for an aggregate principal amount of approximately U.S.$2.8 billion and €235 million and received their present value in cash from the redemption of the Brady Bonds' principal collateral.

***2010 Debt Exchange***

On April 30, 2010, Argentina launched an invitation to holders of the securities issued in the 2005 Debt Exchange and of 149 different series of securities on which it had defaulted in 2001 to exchange such debt for the new securities described below and, in certain cases, a cash payment (the "April Invitation").

Holders of eligible securities who participated in either the April Invitation or in the offer conducted by Argentina in Japan concurrently with the April Invitation were entitled to receive, in exchange for their securities, different combinations of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the 2033 Discount Bonds (2010) due December 2033 and denominated in U.S. dollars, euros, Japanese yen
and pesos;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the 2038 Par Bonds (2010) due December 2038 and denominated in U.S. dollars, euros, Japanese yen and
pesos;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the 2017 Globals due 2017 and denominated in U.S. dollars; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the 2035 GDP-Linked Securities (2010) expiring no later than
December 2035 and denominated in U.S. dollars, euros, Japanese yen and pesos.

------

In December 2010, Argentina launched a reopening of the April Invitation in the domestic market (the "December Invitation"). The December Invitation closed on December 31, 2010.

Holders of eligible securities who participated in the December Invitation were entitled to receive, in exchange for their securities, different combinations of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 2033 Discount Bonds (2010) denominated in U.S. dollars and pesos;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 2017 Globals; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 2035 GDP-Linked Securities (2010) denominated in U.S. dollars and
pesos.

The aggregate eligible amount of securities in default tendered in the 2010 Debt Exchange, totaled approximately U.S.$12.4 billion, representing approximately 66.2% of the aggregate eligible amount of eligible securities.

***Brady Bond Invitation***

During December 2010, Argentina announced an invitation to the holders of the Brady Bonds, or the "Brady Invitation," to tender their Brady Bonds in exchange for a combination of 2033 Discount Bonds (2010), 2017 Globals, 2035 GDP-linked Securities (2010) and cash payment. The Brady Invitation was, however, subject to the requirement that the Court of Appeals affirm the lower court's ruling allowing the release, liquidation and transfer to the tendering holders of the proceeds of the collateral securing the tendered Brady Bonds. On July 20, 2011, the Court of Appeals reversed the lower court. As a result, on August 5, 2011, Argentina cancelled the Brady Invitation without accepting any tenders. All tenders under the Brady Invitation were automatically deemed rejected.

***2020 Debt Exchanges***

*Bonds Governed by Foreign Law* 

On April 21, 2020, the Republic invited holders of its foreign currency external bonds issued under its 2005 indenture and 2016 indenture holding approximately U.S.$66.5 billion aggregate principal amount, to exchange such bonds for new bonds. The invitation contemplated the use of collective action clauses included in the terms and conditions of the respective bonds, whereby the decision by certain majorities would bind holders that do not tender into the exchange offer. After announcing the invitation, representatives of the Republic held several rounds of discussions with holders of such bonds relating to the terms of the invitation.

On August 17, 2020, the Republic amended the invitation to incorporate bondholders' feedback and on August 31, 2020 it announced that it had obtained bondholders' consents required to exchange and or modify 99.01% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of all series of eligible bonds invited to participate in the exchange offer. The invitation settled on September 4, 2020. As a result of the invitation, the average interest rate paid by the Republic's foreign currency external bonds was lowered to 3.07%, with a maximum rate of 5.0%, compared to an average interest rate of 7.0% and maximum rate of 8.28% prior to the invitation. In addition, the aggregate amount outstanding of the Republic's foreign currency external bonds was reduced by 1.9% and the average maturity of such bonds was extended.

*Bonds Governed by Argentine Law* 

On April 5, 2020, the Government enacted Decree No. 346/2020 (i) deferring the payments of principal and interest on certain of its foreign currency bonds governed by Argentine law until December 31, 2020, or until such earlier date as the Ministry of Economy may determine, taking into account the degree of advance in the process designed to restore the sustainability of the Republic's public debt, and (ii) authorizing the Ministry of Economy to conduct liability management transactions or exchange offers, or to implement restructuring measures affecting foreign currency bonds governed by Argentine law which payments have been deferred pursuant to such Decree.

On August 18, 2020, the Republic offered holders of its foreign currency bonds governed by Argentine law to exchange such bonds for new bonds, on terms that were substantially comparable to the terms of the invitation made to holders of foreign law-governed bonds. On September 18, 2020, the Republic announced that holders representing 99.4% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of all series of eligible bonds invited to participate in the local exchange offer had participated. As a result of the exchange offer, the average interest rate paid by the Republic's foreign currency bonds governed by Argentine law was lowered to 2.4%, compared to an average interest rate of 7.6% prior to the exchange. In addition, the exchange offer extended the average maturity of such bonds.

**The *Pari Passu* Litigation and the Settlement Proposal** 

Following the Republic's default on its debt at the end of 2001, creditors filed numerous lawsuits against the Republic in several jurisdictions, including the United States. For additional information regarding litigation in the United States, including the *pari passu* litigation and the Republic's Settlement Proposal to settle claims on the Untendered Debt, see "—Legal Proceedings."

**Indirect Debt** 

The Government guarantees principal and interest payments on certain debt obligations of the provinces and other national and private entities. A portion of these Government guarantees is secured by assets or tax receivables of the Government.

As of December 31, 2024, the Government guaranteed third-party obligations for an aggregate amount of U.S.$9.4 billion (including past due principal and interest) as compared to U.S.$9.4 billion as of December 31, 2023, consisting of the following obligations:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• U.S.$3.6 billion in provincial debt (including the City of Buenos Aires), all of which was secured by assets
of the issuer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• U.S.$1.5 million in debt owed by public sector entities other than the Government (such as Banco de la
Nación Argentina); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• U.S.$4.4 billion in debt of private sector entities.

None of these guarantees were secured by assets of the Republic.

**Secured Debt** 

Certain of the Government's debt obligations are secured by pledges of specific assets, including tax receivables and other forms of collateral. A description of these security arrangements follows:

*National Guaranteed Loans*. These peso-denominated loans are secured by a pledge of the Government's share of the revenue derived from the tax on financial transactions and co-participation taxes (*i.e*., taxes the Government is required to share with the provinces under the Co-Participation Law). As of December 31, 2024, the outstanding principal amount of National Guaranteed Loans was approximately U.S.$997.1 million.

**Evolution of Public Debt** 

From 2020 through 2024, the Republic's total gross public debt (including Untendered Debt) increased by 39.1% from U.S.$335.6 billion as of December 31, 2020 to U.S.$466.9 billion as of December 31, 2024, mainly as a result of debt issuances exceeding amortization payments and disbursements under the SBA entered into with the IMF. The nominal depreciation of the peso and the effect of CER on indexed debt reduced the incidence of exchange rate variations when expressing peso-denominated debt in U.S. dollars.

As of December 31, 2024, foreign currency-denominated debt totaled U.S.$257.7 billion and represented 55.2% of total gross public debt compared to U.S.$266.9 billion and 72.0% of total gross public debt as of December 31, 2023.

As of December 31, 2024, 46.5% of the Republic's total public debt was held by public sector entities, 36.5% was held by private sector entities (excluding 0.5% of untendered debt) and 17.0% was held by international organizations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• capitalized interests for U.S.$1.1 billion.

These factors were partially offset by principal payments that totaled U.S.$66.8 billion, exchange rate fluctuations that reduced debt by U.S.$10.5 billion, and CER-indexation adjustments that reduced debt by U.S.$1.2 billion.

In 2021, the Republic's total gross public debt (measured in U.S.$) increased by 8.2% to U.S.$363.2 billion (80.6% of nominal GDP). In 2021, the Republic:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• made CER-indexation adjustments for U.S.$7.2 billion.

These factors were partially offset by principal payments that totaled U.S.$116.7 billion and exchange rate fluctuations that reduced debt by U.S.$24.0 billion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• made CER-indexation adjustments for U.S.$26.1 billion.

These factors were partially offset by principal payments that totaled U.S.$159.2 billion, exchange rate fluctuations that reduced debt by U.S.$29.6 billion, CER-indexation adjustments that reduced debt by U.S.$37.4 billion and payment of letters of guarantee that reduced debt by U.S.$1.8 billion.

In 2024, the Republic's total gross public debt (measured in U.S.$) increased by 26.0% to U.S.$466.9 billion (82.6% of nominal GDP). In 2024, the Republic:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• issued U.S.$167.9 billion in peso-denominated debt;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• issued U.S.$31.2 billion in foreign currency-denominated deb (including multilateral debt);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• made CER-indexation and exchange rate adjustments on CER-linked debt for U.S.$83.3 billion; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• recorded U.S.$15.9 billion in capitalization.

These factors were partially offset by principal payments that totaled U.S.$190.5 billion, exchange rate fluctuations that reduced debt by U.S.$11.8 billion, payment of letters of guarantee that reduced debt by U.S.$0.3 billion, and a decrease in guarantees by U.S.$0.1 billion

In 2024, the Republic's short-term debt increased by 273.0% to U.S.$58.4 billion from U.S.$15.7 billion in 2023, primarily due to an increase in (i) Treasury bills from U.S.$6.3 billion in 2023 to U.S.$29.7 billion in 2024, (ii) bonds from U.S.$6.5 billion in 2023 to U.S.$24.3 billion in 2024, and an increase in (iii) temporary advances from the Central Bank from U.S.$2.9 billion in 2023 to U.S.$3.4 billion in 2024.

The Republic's medium- and long-term debt decreased in relative terms to 87.0% of total gross public debt as of December 31, 2024 compared to 92.5% of total gross public debt as of December 31, 2020, and increased in absolute terms by U.S.$95.7 billion to U.S.$406.0 billion as of December 31, 2024 from U.S.$310.4 billion as of December 31, 2020, primarily due to disbursements under the SBA entered into with the IMF, issuances exceeding amortization payments, inflation adjustment of certain outstanding bonds, and compounding interest. These factors were partially offset by the nominal depreciation of the peso, which reduced peso-denominated debt when expressed in U.S. dollars.

***Performing Debt***

*Performing Medium-term and long-term debt* 

Performing medium-term and long-term debt decreased in relative terms to 87.0% of total gross public debt as of December 31, 2024 from 92.5% as of December 31, 2020, and increased by U.S.$95.7 billion in absolute terms to U.S.$406.0 billion as of December 31, 2024 from U.S.$310.4 billion as of December 31, 2020, as a result of issuances of new bonds, treasury bills, temporary advances from the Central Bank, commercial banks, treasury notes, National Guaranteed Loans and Guarantees (*Avales*), disbursements under the SBA entered into with the IMF and inflation adjustments of certain outstanding bonds. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the issuance of guaranteed treasury notes for renewable energy projects, Guarantees (*Avales*), temporary advances and exchange rate fluctuations (the nominal depreciation of the euro, which reduced euro-denominated debt when expressed in U.S. dollars and the nominal depreciation of the peso, which reduced peso-denominated debt when expressed in U.S. dollars).

*Performing Short-term debt* 

On August 28, 2019, the Government issued a decree deferring the scheduled payment date for 85% of the amounts due on short-term notes maturing in the fourth quarter of 2019, governed by Argentine law and held by institutional investors. Of the deferred amounts, 30% was repaid 90 days after the original payment date and the remaining 70% was repaid 180 days after the original payment date, except for payments under Lecaps due 2020 held domestically, which was repaid entirely 90 days after the original payment date. Amounts due on short-term notes held by individual investors was paid as originally scheduled.

Total peso-denominated debt amounted to Ps.216,053 billion (U.S.$209.2 billion, or 44.8% of gross public total debt) as of December 31, 2024 compared to Ps.6,650 billion (U.S.$79.0 billion, or 23.5% of gross public total debt) as of December 31, 2020. The increase as a percentage of total debt is primarily as a result of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the increase in the issuances of peso-denominated debt instruments, Boncers, treasury bills, Bonar Dual, Lecap
and Boncap; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the impact of the depreciation of the peso, which more than offset the nominal increase in peso-denominated debt
caused by adjustments to inflation on the a portion of the peso-denominated debt that by its terms adjusts for inflation based on CER and debt capitalization.

***Performing Peso-Denominated Debt Service***

In 2020, the Republic sought to preserve the normal functioning of the local capital market for debt denominated in pesos, which it considers a key factor for the development of the domestic capital market. In particular, during this period, the Government sought to recover the Treasury's financing capacity, create conditions for the development of the domestic capital markets and generate savings instruments with positive and sustainable real rates, in turn reducing its monetary financing needs and expanding the depth of the local debt market and the participation of relevant institutional investors. In addition, the Treasury expanded its menu of financing instruments to obtain the funds needed to cover its 2020 financial needs and to design the 2021 financial program according to the guidelines outlined in the 2021 Budget.

In 2020, interest on the Republic's peso-denominated debt decreased by 5.1% from Ps.378.3 billion in 2019 to Ps.397.7 billion (U.S.$5.6 billion, or 61.0% of total interest). This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in interest payments on Bonares and Treasury bills.

In 2021, interest on the Republic's peso-denominated debt increased by 42.7% from Ps.397.7 billion in 2020 to Ps.567.4 billion (U.S.$6.0 billion, or 73.2% of total interest). This increase was primarily due to an increase in interest payments on Bonares, Treasury bills and Boncer.

In 2022, interest on the Republic's peso-denominated debt increased by 17.5% from Ps.567.4 billion in 2021 to Ps.666.6 billion (U.S.$3.7 billion, or 40.1% of total interest). This increase was primarily due to an increase in interest payments on Bonares, Treasury bills and bonds issued in the 2020 Debt Exchanges.

In 2023, interest on the Republic's peso-denominated debt increased by 162.1% from Ps.666.6 billion in 2022 to Ps.1,746.8 billion (U.S.$2.2 billion, or 46.7% of total interest). This increase was primarily due to an increase in interest payments on Bonares, Treasury bills and bonds issued in the 2020 Debt Exchanges.

In 2024, interest on the Republic's peso-denominated debt decreased by 6.7% from Ps.1,746.8 billion in 2023 to Ps.1,629.8 billion (U.S.$1.6 billion, or 17% of total interest). The decrease was primarily due to an increase in the issuance of debt that capitalizes interest such as Boncap and Lecap. The adjustments of debt for variation of the amount of debt that capitalizes interest was U.S.$16.3 million in 2023 and U.S.$15,938 million in 2024.

**Debt Owed to Financial Institutions** 

***Overview***

Historically, the IMF, the IADB and the World Bank have provided the Republic with financial support subject to the Government's compliance with stabilization and reform policies. The financial support of the World Bank and the IADB include sector-specific and structural loans intended to finance social programs, public works and structural projects at the national and provincial levels. From 2020 to 2024, outstanding amounts owed by the Government to multilateral creditors increased by U.S.$71.3 billion to U.S.$75.5 billion, mainly due to disbursements made by the World Bank and the IADB.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• During 2020, the Government made principal payments to multilateral lenders of U.S.$1.9 billion, compared to
disbursements by multilateral lenders to the Government of U.S.$3.3 billion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• During 2021, the Government made principal payments to multilateral lenders of U.S.$5.6 billion, compared to
disbursements by multilateral lenders to the Government of U.S.$3.7 billion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• During 2022, the Government made principal payments to multilateral lenders of U.S.$18.5 billion, compared
to disbursements by multilateral lenders to the Government of U.S.$28.0 billion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• During 2023, the Government made principal payments to multilateral lenders of U.S.$19.6 billion, compared
to disbursements by multilateral lenders to the Government of U.S.$17.9 billion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• During 2024, the Government made principal payments to multilateral lenders of U.S.$7.8 billion, compared to
disbursements by multilateral lenders to the Government of U.S.$10.3 billion.

From 2020 to 2024, the total amount of interest payments to multilateral lenders (including the IADB, the World Bank, IMF and other institutions) was U.S.$16.1 billion. The Government also guarantees multilateral debt owed by the provinces. See "The Argentine Economy—Agreements with the IMF."

***International Monetary Fund***

The IMF organized two separate financial aid packages for the Republic during the years leading up to the collapse of the Convertibility Regime— one in December 2000, and the other in August 2001. As part of these packages, the IMF increased the amount available to the Republic under its credit facilities and secured for the Republic other sources of funding (including loan commitments from the World Bank, the IADB and the Spanish government).

------

Between 2001 and 2005, the Republic reduced its outstanding IMF debt from U.S.$14.0 billion as of December 31, 2001 to U.S.$9.5 billion as of December 31, 2005. In August 2004, the IMF suspended disbursements under the 2003 Stand-By Arrangement after the Government indefinitely postponed the scheduled review of its performance under the arrangement.

On January 3, 2006, the Government repaid all of its outstanding debt owed to the IMF in a single payment of U.S.$9.5 billion. The payment to the IMF represented 7.4% of the total Argentine public debt and saved U.S.$568 million in interest. The Government borrowed funds from the Central Bank to make the payment, which resulted in a 33.3% reduction of the Central Bank's reserves from U.S.$28.1 billion to U.S.$18.6 billion. The Government issued a 10-year U.S. dollar-denominated non-transferable Treasury note to repay the Central Bank for this financing. Given that the IMF liability was exchanged for Central Bank liability of the same value, the IMF repayment did not affect the Government's total debt.

Under Article IV of the IMF's Articles of Agreement, the IMF holds bilateral discussions with members, usually every year. IMF staff visits the country, collects economic and financial information, and discusses the country's economic developments and policies with officials. The IMF staff then prepares a report, which forms the basis for discussion by the Executive Board.

On June 7, 2018, the Ministry of Economy and the IMF staff reached an understanding on the terms of a 36-month SBA for disbursements totaling approximately U.S.$50 billion, which was approved by the IMF's Executive Board on June 20, 2018. On October 26, 2018, the IMF's Executive Board approved an augmentation of the SBA increasing total assets to approximately U.S.$57.1 billion for the duration of the program through 2021. See "The Argentine Economy— Agreements with the IMF." On August 26, 2020, the Republic initiated formal discussions with the IMF to seek a new program that will address the terms of the debt incurred under the existing SBA (as defined below). The Republic has indicated there is no stabilization possible without economic recovery, a premise that it expects to guide the negotiations with the IMF. On October 6, 2020, an IMF mission began discussions with the Government towards the definition of the basis for a new program and agreement for the refinancing of amounts due under the SBA.

On September 22, 2021, Argentina repaid the first principal installment under the SBA of U.S.$1.9 billion to the IMF.

On March 25, 2022, the Republic signed a 30-month Extended Fund Facility agreement ("EFF") with the IMF for 31.9 billion SDRs (approximately U.S.$44 billion), to refinance the SBA (as defined below) entered into in June 2018. The EFF provides balance of payments and budget support, with the objective of strengthening public finances, tackling inflation, boosting the accumulation of international reserves, and setting the basis for more sustainable and inclusive economic growth.

The EFF includes 10 reviews by the IMF to be carried out quarterly over two and a half years. On June 25, 2022, the IMF approved the Republic's first quarterly review under the EFF, authorizing an immediate disbursement of approximately U.S.$4.01 billion. The remaining disbursements will be made after the completion of each review. The repayment period for each disbursement is 10 years, with a grace period of four and a half years, which implies that the Republic shall repay the debt between 2026 to 2034.

Between March 25, 2022 and July 29, 2022, the Government made principal payments to the IMF for 6,028 million SDRs (approximately U.S.$8.1 billion).

On September 19, 2022, the Republic reached an agreement with the IMF on the second review under the EFF, which was approved by the IMF's Executive Board on October 7, 2022, authorizing an immediate disbursement of approximately U.S.$3.9 billion. On December 2, 2022, the Republic reached an agreement with the IMF on the third review under the EFF, which was approved by the IMF's Executive Board on December 22, 2022, authorizing an immediate disbursement of approximately U.S.$6.0 billion. During 2023, the IMF's Executive Board authorized two disbursements under the EFF of approximately U.S.$12.7 billion in the aggregate. During 2024, and as of the date of this Annual Report, the IMF's Executive Board has authorized disbursements under the EFF of approximately U.S.$5.5 billion in the aggregate. See "Recent Developments—Public Sector Debt—Debt Owed to Financial Institutions—IMF."

In January 2024, the Milei administration renegotiated its common goals with the IMF, allowing the IMF program to resume.

On June 13, 2024, the IMF's Executive Board completed the eighth review under the EFF, resulting in a U.S.$790 million disbursement to support the Government's efforts to lower inflation, rebuild fiscal and external buffers, and foster economic recovery.

On April 11, 2025, the Government requested an extended arrangement under the extended EFF, which resulted in the IMF's Executive Board approving a 48-month EFF for a total aggregate amount of U.S.$20 billion, including an immediate disbursement of U.S.$12 billion and a first review under the EFF scheduled for June 2025. The arrangement supports the transition to a new phase with the objective of improving macroeconomic stability, strengthening external sustainability, and deepening structural reforms towards a more open and market-oriented economy.

***Bilateral Debt and Private Creditors' Debt***

Bilateral debt includes debt that is referred to as Paris Club debt and other bilateral debt. Paris Club debt includes all debt with country members of the Paris Club that has been restructured in negotiation rounds with members of the Paris Club. Other bilateral debt includes all other debt with sovereign governments. Substantially all of Argentina's bilateral debt relates to debt owed to country members of the Paris Club and is treated under the Paris Club framework.

Private creditors' debt is composed of debt with suppliers and debt with commercial banks. A portion of private creditors' debt is guaranteed by export credit insurance granted by foreign government agencies and is generally treated under the Paris Club framework.

As of April 30, 2014, the total outstanding debt owed to members of the Paris Club amounted to U.S.$9,690 million, which consisted of U.S.$4,955 million in principal, U.S.$1,102 million in interest and U.S.$3,633 million in penalty interest. In May 2014, Argentina reached an agreement with the members of the Paris Club for the cancellation of the debt owed by Argentina in five years (the "Paris Club 2014 Settlement Agreement"), amounting to U.S.$9,690 million (U.S.$4,955 million in principal U.S.$1,102 million in interest and U.S.$3,633 million in penalty interest).

On April 7, 2020, the Minister of Economy sent the Paris Club members a proposal to modify the existing terms of the Paris Club 2014 Settlement Agreement, seeking mainly an extension of the maturity dates and a significant reduction in the interest rate. On June 22, 2021, the Minister of Economy announced that the Republic had obtained a "time bridge" within the framework of Paris Club negotiations, avoiding default. See "Recent Developments—Public Sector Debt—Debt Owed to Financial Institutions—Paris Club."

On June 22, 2021, the Minister of Economy announced that the Republic had obtained a "time bridge" within the framework of Paris Club negotiations, avoiding default. The understanding provided that the Republic would have time through March 31, 2022 to reach a restructuring agreement with the Paris Club members, while it carried out efforts to reach an understanding with the IMF for the refinancing of the debt incurred under the SBA.

On May 30, 2022, the Government issued Decree No. 286/2022 announcing an agreement with the Paris Club to defer debt payments until the earlier of (i) the signing of a new agreement on the repayment of the outstanding obligations of the Republic or (ii) September 30, 2024.

On October 28, 2022, the Republic and the Paris Club creditors reached an agreement to amend the Paris Club 2014 Settlement Agreement, to reschedule an estimated stock of arrears of U.S.$1.9 billion. The repayment of the outstanding amounts under the Amended Paris Club Settlement Agreement is to be made in 13 installments over a six-year period and reducing the applicable interest rate from 9.0% to 4.5%.

On April 4, 2023, the Government reached an agreement with the Netherlands, Germany, Canada, Israel, Finland, Denmark and Austria under the framework of the Paris Club, to reschedule until 2028 the repayment of certain outstanding bonds.

**Legal Proceedings** 

Following the Republic's default on its debt at the end of 2001, creditors filed numerous lawsuits against the Republic in several jurisdictions, including the United States. Plaintiffs in these actions generally asserted that the Republic failed to make timely payments of interest and/or principal on their bonds, and sought judgments for the nominal value of and accrued interest on those bonds.

***The Settlement***

On February 5, 2016, the Republic published the terms of its proposal to settle eligible claims on Untendered Debt, including bonds in litigation in the United States, which was made subject to two conditions: first, obtaining approval by the Argentine Congress, and second, lifting the *pari passu* injunctions, first issued by the New York District Court in 2012, which had barred the Republic from making payment on certain external indebtedness unless it made a ratable payment to those holders of defaulted debt who had been awarded such injunctions. The proposal was not available for time-barred claims.

------

Creditors who settled their claims pursuant to the Settlement Proposal agreed to dismiss with prejudice all litigation against the Republic, including all enforcement proceedings.

On March 31, 2016, the Argentine Congress passed the Debt Authorization Law. On April 22, 2016, Argentina issued U.S.$16.5 billion of new debt securities in the international capital markets, and applied U.S.$9.3 billion of the net proceeds to satisfy settlement payments on agreements with holders of approximately U.S.$4.2 billion principal amount of Untendered Debt. On April 22, 2016, the New York District Court ordered the vacatur of all *pari passu* injunctions.

On July 20, 2016, Argentina published settlement procedures for holders of eligible German law governed bonds implementing the Settlement Proposal for those bonds.

In December 2018, Argentina convened meetings of holders of its four remaining series of outstanding bonds governed by Japanese law, to vote upon proposals that if approved would result in the adoption of the standard Settlement Proposal to settle the clauses of 100% of the outstanding Samurai Bonds. The meetings took place in February 2019 and Argentina completed payments in June 2019.

To date, the Republic has reached agreements with most creditors that held Untendered Debt as of December 31, 2015, and stipulations of dismissal and orders of satisfaction of judgment have been filed and approved by the courts in numerous actions. The Republic continues to seek to resolve its outstanding litigation through settlements.

***Individual litigation in the United States***

Since April 2016, holders of Untendered Debt have brought claims against Argentina on various grounds. Where defenses were available, such as statute of limitation and other defenses, Argentina has invoked them obtaining the dismissal of many proceedings. Likewise, Argentina has successfully defeated attempts by holders of Untendered Debt to obtain remedies based on the alleged breach by Argentina of the *pari passu* clause.

In one case in which the plaintiff received a judgment in December 2020 for U.S.$95.4 million, the plaintiff filed a motion for turnover of the Republic's shareholding in YPF S.A. on May 3, 2024. Briefing before the New York District Court was completed on June 25, 2024.

In June 2021, a group of plaintiffs obtained an *ex parte* order of attachment of the Republic's so-called reversionary interest in any excess collateral for the Republic's secured Brady bonds. In August 2022, the New York District Court issued a ruling confirming the attachment. Plaintiffs subsequently also sought attachment and turnover of the Republic's reversionary interest in the excess deutsche mark-denominated collateral, which the New York District Court granted on March 28, 2023. The Republic appealed and the Second Circuit affirmed the New York District Court's attachment and turnover orders on August 21, 2024.

In July 2024, summary judgment motions were filed by plaintiffs in cases originally brought between 2015 and 2019 on approximately U.S.$36.4 million principal amount of 1993 and 1994 FAA bonds. Judgments were entered on August 14, 2024, for a total of approximately U.S.$134 million (including principal and interest).

***GDP warrant litigation (United States and United Kingdom)***

Plaintiffs have brought litigation in connection with a dispute regarding the calculation method for payment on the GDP-linked warrants issued by the Republic in 2005 and 2010.

On January 14, 2019, a plaintiff filed a complaint in the New York District Court based on purported ownership of approximately U.S.$797 million notional amount of GDP-linked warrants, seeking approximately U.S.$83.7 million for non-payment of amounts allegedly due under such GDP-linked warrants for the year 2013, plus interest. On April 18, 2019, the Republic moved to dismiss the complaint. The New York District Court granted the Republic's motion on January 7, 2020, but granted plaintiff leave to file an amended complaint, which it did on March 9, 2020.

In October 2019, three additional plaintiffs filed separate complaints in the New York District Court, basing their claims on purported respective ownership of approximately U.S.$181 million, U.S.$343 million, and U.S.$1.4 billion notional amount of GDP-linked warrants. In December 2019, another group of plaintiffs filed a complaint based on purported collective ownership of over U.S.$1 billion notional amount of GDP-linked warrants, seeking an amount in excess of U.S.$75 million, to be determined at trial, for non-payment of amounts allegedly due under such GDP-linked warrants for the year 2013, plus interest. Pursuant to a stipulation entered by the parties after the New York District Court's January 7, 2020 dismissal decision, these plaintiffs filed their amended complaints between March 9 and March 23, 2020. All five actions were coordinated in April 2020 and proceeded on the schedule for the Republic's motion to dismiss the amended complaints. On March 29, 2021, the New York District Court denied the Republic's motion to dismiss the amended complaints in the five coordinated actions.

------

On December 10, 2020, additional plaintiffs filed a separate complaint in the New York District Court, basing their claim on purported ownership of approximately U.S.$126 million national amount of GDP-linked warrants. On May 19, 2021, the Republic moved to dismiss this complaint. On February 15, 2022, the New York District Court denied the Republic's motion to dismiss the complaint. This action has proceeded in coordination with the other five GDP-linked warrants actions.

On April 14, 2023, the Republic filed its motion for summary judgment in the six coordinated actions. The plaintiffs filed their opposition to the Republic's motion and their cross-motion for summary judgment on June 13, 2023. The motions were fully briefed by October 2, 2023.

As of December 31, 2023, plaintiffs in (i) the first of these six coordinated actions sought approximately U.S.$90 million, plus interest, (ii) the second of these actions sought an unspecified amount, (iii) the third of these actions sought approximately U.S.$38.9 million, plus interest, (iv) the fourth of these actions sought approximately U.S.$162.6 million, plus interest, (v) the fifth of these actions sought an among in excess of U.S.$75 million, to be determined at trial, plus interest, and (vi) the sixth of these actions sought U.S.$9 million, plus interest, in each case for non-payment of amounts allegedly due under such GDP-linked warrants for the year 2013.

On March 31, 2024, the New York District Court in the six coordinated U.S. GDP-linked warrants actions for the year 2013 granted the Republic's summary judgment motion and closed the case. On April 29, 2024, plaintiffs filed their notice of appeal. On August 12, 2024, appellants filed their opening brief. The Republic filed its responsive brief on November 11, 2024. See "Recent Developments—Public Sector Debt—Legal Proceedings—GDP warrant litigation."

On September 25, 2024, the same group of plaintiffs as in the six coordinated U.S. GDP-linked warrants actions for the year 2013 filed a new complaint in the New York District Court based on purported ownership of 2005 and 2010 GDP-linked warrants, seeking approximately U.S.$1.3 billion for non-payment of amounts allegedly due under such GDP-linked warrants for the year 2013, plus interest. See "Recent Developments—Public Sector Debt—Legal Proceedings—GDP warrant litigation."

On December 13, 2023, a group of plaintiffs filed a complaint in the New York District Court based on purported ownership of 2005 and 2010 GDP-linked warrants, seeking an unspecified amount allegedly due under such GDP-linked warrants for years after 2013, plus interest. On July 2, 2024, the Republic moved to dismiss this action. The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on October 22, 2024, which the Republic moved to dismiss on December 23, 2024. See "Recent Developments—Public Sector Debt—Legal Proceedings—GDP warrant litigation."

In August 2019, three claimants filed a claim in the High Court of England invoking ownership of approximately €5.5 billion notional amount of GDP-linked warrants, seeking approximately €384.7 million for non-payment of amounts allegedly due under such GDP-linked warrants for the year 2013. By an order dated December 10, 2019, a fourth claimant was added to the claim invoking ownership of approximately €3.1 billion notional amount of GDP-linked warrants and the claimants were given permission to serve amended particulars of claim accordingly. Further amendments were subsequently made to the claim to reflect increases in the holdings of the securities of the claimants, and re-amended particulars of claim were filed on December 23, 2019, invoking ownership of approximately €9.2 billion notional amount of GDP-linked warrants, seeking approximately €645.3 million, plus interest, for non-payment of amounts allegedly due under such GDP-linked warrants for the year 2013.

On September 14, 2022, the claimants in the GDP-linked warrants proceedings in the United Kingdom filed a new amendment to their particulars of claim in which they pleaded two additional remedies as alternatives to their claim for non-payment of amounts allegedly due under the warrants for the year 2013: (i) alleged damages for breach of contract in the amount of approximately €779.1 million plus interest or (ii) relief on the basis that the warrants were legally frustrated, in an amount to be determined at trial, if any.

The trial in this matter took place between October 17, 2022 and November 18, 2022. The High Court of England rendered judgment on April 5, 2023, declaring that the total payment amount due for the Euro-denominated GDP-linked warrants for the year 2013 was approximately €1.3 billion, plus interest and costs.

On June 30, 2023, the Republic filed an application for permission to appeal the judgment to the English Court of Appeal. On June 12, 2024, the English Court of Appeal dismissed the Republic's appeal. The Republic subsequently sought permission to appeal to the U.K. Supreme Court on July 10, 2024, but permission was refused on October 14, 2024. See "Recent Developments—Public Sector Debt—Legal Proceedings—GDP warrant litigation."

***Efforts to attach or execute Argentine property in U.S. Litigation***

In the United States, creditors' execution remedies against a foreign state are limited by the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 (the "FSIA") to assets of such foreign state that are used for a commercial activity in the United States. The FSIA also provides special protection from attachment and execution to reserves of foreign central banks and military and diplomatic property. While most attempts to execute property of the Republic or of alleged alter egos of the Republic have been rejected by the courts, in a few instances plaintiffs seeking payment under Argentina's Untendered Debt succeeded in attaching and restraining assets of the Republic (discussed herein).

***Proceedings for foreign recognition of U.S. judgments***

Certain plaintiffs have sought, and in some instances obtained, recognition of their U.S. judgments in foreign courts, including in the United Kingdom, Luxembourg, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Ghana and Argentina. Most of these plaintiffs have settled their claims against Argentina.

***Litigation in Germany***

Several bondholders commenced proceedings in Germany seeking to obtain *pari passu* relief similar to the relief granted by New York Courts. German courts at both the trial and appellate level have declined to grant such relief.

Plaintiffs who try to execute on their judgments may not attach assets used for diplomatic or consular purposes, such as bank accounts of the Republic's embassy and consulates. To the Republic's knowledge, plaintiffs in Germany have succeeded in attaching monies of the Republic held with paying agents (for the payment of interest on other Government debt). Some creditors have also attached the Republic's claims against other plaintiffs (*i.e*., those who withdrew their claims against the Republic or lost their actions in whole or in part), who are liable for the Republic's costs (statutory attorneys' fees and, if applicable, court fees) under Germany's "losing party pays" system, to the extent the amount of such claims had not been set off by those plaintiffs.

Certain plaintiffs have sought recognition of their German judgments in foreign courts, including the United States, Luxembourg and Spain.

***Litigation in Japan***

In furtherance of discussions maintained with the Commissioned Companies for Bondholders relating to the implementation of its February 2016 Settlement Proposal with holders of its outstanding bonds governed by Japanese law that had not been tendered in the 2010 Exchange Offer, in December 2018, Argentina convened meetings of holders of its four remaining series of outstanding bonds governed by Japanese law, to vote upon proposals that if approved would result in the adoption of the standard Settlement Proposal to settle the clauses of 100% of the outstanding Samurai Bonds.

The Republic held bondholder meetings on February 22, 2019 for each of the four series of the remaining bonds under Japanese law, during which bondholders approved, by the requisite majority, resolutions that rendered the standard option under the February 2016 Settlement Proposal binding on all holders of such series of bonds, representing an aggregate settlement amount of JPY2,817,000,000 for the four series.

On October 29, 2019, the Tokyo High Court ruled that the resolutions adopted by bondholders by requisite majority for each of the four series were valid and binding on all holders of the series whether or not they voted for such resolutions. On May 20, 2021, the two-year period for the bondholders to seek payment expired. On October 13, 2021, the Republic's Japanese counsel received two letters from the Commissioned Companies for Bondholders informing the Republic that they offset what they believe the Republic owes them for the Commissioned Companies for Bondholders' expenses against the remaining funds that the banks are holding following the expiration of the two-year payment period for the bondholders. The letters state that the Commissioned Companies for Bondholders' expenses exceed the amount of the remaining funds, accordingly they are not returning any remaining funds and instead they request the Republic to pay the balance (JPY 12,924,927 for Shinsei Bank and JPY 9,799,783 for Mitsubishi UFJ Bank).

------

***Litigation in Spain***

On April 10, 2014, a plaintiff who obtained a judgment in Germany initiated proceedings before a court in Madrid in order to attach the Republic's assets located in Spain. On May 14, 2015, the court permitted that plaintiff to execute its German judgment on the Republic's property in Spain. In December 2015, the court denied the Republic's request to vacate that order and the Republic appealed the ruling. On September 28, 2016, the Court of Appeals granted the Republic's appeal and vacated the lower court's execution order. On January 25, 2019, Spain's highest court agreed to hear the plaintiff's appeal of the September 28, 2016 ruling by the Court of Appeals. On October 8, 2019, the Spanish high court issued a ruling in the plaintiff's favor. Based on this ruling, the plaintiff could bring enforcement proceedings in the lower court, which the Republic could contest on other grounds. On May 25, 2020, a Spanish lower court rejected a request for attachment by the plaintiff. The plaintiff filed an application for review of the decision, which was rejected on July 15, 2020. The plaintiff filed an application for clarification, which was rejected on October 26, 2020. On November 3, 2020, the plaintiff filed another request for reconsideration and asked that the Republic be ordered to identify assets subject to embargo. The court dismissed additional requests from the plaintiff regarding identification of assets subject to attachment on January 13, 2021, May 5, 2021, and June 2, 2021.

On October 5, 2022, a plaintiff holding two German judgments gave notice to the Republic that the plaintiff planned to initiate an action for execution. The Republic filed its opposition on December 16, 2022, which the Court denied on February 12, 2023. On February 23, 2023, the Republic filed an appeal for reconsideration, which the Court dismissed on April 17, 2023. On July 12, 2023, the court issued a resolution publishing a letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation. On July 18, 2023, the Republic filed a brief arguing that the lack of report warranted nullity of the proceedings, which, on October 19, 2023, the court rejected. On June 12, 2024, the court required Banco de la Nación Argentina deposit in the Judicial Deposits and Consignments Account of this Court €358,160.49 against the account corresponding to the Republic. On June 19, 2024, the Republic filed an appeal for reconsideration of the Court's decision. On June 28, 2024, the Court issued a resolution recognizing the appeal for reconsideration and inviting plaintiff to present his response.

***ICSID Arbitration***

Argentina has been a party to arbitration proceedings under the 1965 Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes between States and Nationals of Other States (ICSID Convention), including as a result of measures implemented in 2001 and 2002 to address Argentina's economic crisis.

Between 2013 and 2024, the Republic has settled nine final awards issued by ICSID tribunals against Argentina totaling approximately U.S.$1.25 billion, in principal, excluding interest and costs.

On August 24, 2021, a plaintiff filed an action in the D.C. District Court, seeking enforcement of an arbitral award issued against the Republic under the ICSID Convention. The Republic moved to dismiss on January 14, 2022. The Court denied the Republic's motion to dismiss on August 19, 2024. The petitioner filed a motion for summary judgment on October 4, 2024, which the D.C. District Court granted on December 10, 2024, entering judgment in the amount of approximately U.S.$391 million, plus interest. The Republic has appealed the D.C. District Court's rulings. See "Recent Developments—Public Sector Debt—Legal Proceedings—ICSID Arbitration."

On February 15, 2023, the Republic was notified of the same plaintiff's attempt to have the same ICSID arbitral award recognized and enforced by the Madrid Civil Court No. 2. That action remains pending. In April 2023, the Republic received defective notification of the same plaintiff seeking to enforce the same award in the United Kingdom.

On September 20, 2021, another plaintiff filed an action in the D.C. District Court, seeking enforcement of an arbitral award issued against the Republic under the ICSID Convention. The plaintiff seeks a judgment of approximately U.S.$21.3 million, plus interest. The Republic moved to dismiss on August 8, 2022. The D.C. District Court denied the Republic's motion to dismiss on November 19, 2024. See "Recent Developments—Public Sector Debt—Legal Proceedings—ICSID Arbitration."

On December 7, 2021, other plaintiffs filed an action in Argentine courts seeking enforcement of an arbitral award issued against the Republic under the ICSID Convention. The plaintiffs sought a judgment of approximately U.S.$1.0 million, plus interest. On June 13, 2023, the lower court rendered judgment granting enforcement of the award in the amount of approximately U.S.$1.0 million plus interest. On December 3, 2024, the court of appeals rejected plaintiffs' appeal in relation to an issue of the budgetary provision made by the Government for compliance with the award. See "Recent Developments—Public Sector Debt—Legal Proceedings—ICSID Arbitration."

***Other Arbitration***

Claimants have also filed claims before arbitral tribunals under the rules of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law ("UNCITRAL") and under the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce ("ICC").

Between 2013 and 2024, the Republic has settled three final UNCITRAL awards against Argentina totaling approximately U.S.$259.8 million in principal, excluding interest and costs.

***Other Non-Creditor Litigation in the U.S.***

On April 8, 2015, Petersen Energía Inversora, S.A.U. and Petersen Energía, S.A.U. (the "Petersen Entities") filed a claim against the Republic in the New York District Court in relation to the expropriation of YPF. The Petersen Entities sought compensatory damages arising out of an alleged breach of the bylaws of YPF by the Republic that allegedly occurred when it expropriated 51% of Class D shares of YPF. In September 2015, the Republic moved to dismiss the complaint, asserting, among other things, that the New York District Court lacks jurisdiction under the FSIA. On September 9, 2016, the New York District Court granted in part and denied in part the Republic's motion to dismiss plaintiffs' complaint. On July 10, 2018, the Second Circuit issued a decision affirming the New York District Court's decision. On June 24, 2019, the U.S. Supreme Court denied Argentina's petition for *certiorari*.

On November 3, 2016, Eton Park Capital Management, L.P., Eton Park Master Fund, Ltd. and Eton Park fund, L.P. (the "Eton Park Entities") filed a complaint against the Republic seeking compensatory damages arising out of an alleged breach of the bylaws of YPF by the Republic resulting from the expropriation of 51% of Class D shares of YPF.

On August 30, 2019, the Republic filed a motion to dismiss the actions commenced by the Petersen and Eton Park Entities for *forum non conveniens*. On June 5, 2020, the New York District Court denied the motion. On July 20, 2020, the Court ordered a schedule for the consolidated Petersen and the Eton Park Entities' complaints.

On April 14, 2022, the parties filed cross-motions for summary judgment. On March 30, 2023, the New York District Court granted summary judgment in favor of the Petersen and Eton Park Entities as to liability against the Republic. Trial was held from July 26 to July 28, 2023. On September 15, 2023, the Court entered a judgment against the Republic for U.S.$16.1 billion. The Republic appealed the judgment to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on October 10, 2023, and the Petersen and Eton Park Entities cross-appealed on October 18, 2023.

On February 22, 2024, the Republic filed its opening appeal brief in the Second Circuit. The Petersen and Eton Park Entities filed their opposition and cross-appeal brief on March 26, 2024, and the Republic filed its reply brief on June 24, 2024. The Petersen and Eton Park Entities filed their reply on July 24, 2024. The appeal is now pending before the Second Circuit.

Enforcement of the New York District Court's judgment is not stayed. The Republic and the Petersen and Eton Park Entities are engaged in post-judgment discovery proceedings before the New York District Court. Additionally, on April 22, 2024, the Petersen and Eton Park Entities filed a motion for turnover of the Republic's Class D shareholding in YPF S.A. The Republic opposed the motion for turnover. The Petersen and Eton Park Entities are also seeking recognition of the New York District Court's judgment in Ireland, the United Kingdom, France, Luxembourg, Cyprus, Canada and Australia, which the Republic is contesting.
