Learning Unit Summary
Highly qualified population; availability of natural resources;
diversified and modern industries coupled with a developed infrastructure
and competitive costs and services; altogether in addition to investment
incentives and a proper juridical framework make Argentina an excellent
place at the time of making a decision to invest.
Since the new economic model has come into effect, based on a competitive
and stable exchange rate, surplus in public and foreign/trade accounts and a
careful management of the monetary policy, Argentine economy has shown a
strong dynamism.
Argentina's economy is 55.1 percent free, according to our 2008
assessment, which makes it the world's 108th freest economy. Its overall
score is essentially unchanged from last year. Argentina is ranked 23rd out
of 29 countries in the Americas, and its overall score is below the regional
average.
Compared to the typical country, Argentina has only one
economically favorable institution: relatively small government in terms of
expenditures. Most advanced economies are cutting their corporate tax rates,
but Argentina's top corporate and income tax rates are 35 percent. Yet tax
revenue as a percentage of GDP is low, as is expenditure, as a result of tax
avoidance and evasion.
Property rights, labor freedom, and freedom from corruption are low, but
financial freedom is especially problematic. The foreign debt crisis remains
unresolved, and local capital markets are not healthy. Political
interference with an inefficient judiciary hinders foreign investment, and
popular and official obstructions of due process make international courts
preferable to Argentine courts. (Source: Heritage).
