Argentina faces a rise in unemployment, reaching 7.6% in the second quarter, but President Javier Milei’s bold fiscal reforms are instilling global confidence. Despite a slight decrease from the previous quarter, the workforce comprises 44.8% of the population.
Milei’s administration has seen early successes, achieving a 0.4% fiscal surplus in 2024. Despite a decline in second-quarter economic activity, the government projects significant GDP growth in the upcoming years.
