In the midst of an increasingly unstable international scenario, the International Monetary Fund projected that Argentina will grow 3.5% in 2026, a figure that not only places it among the best-performing economies in Latin America, but also above Brazil and all the countries that make up the G7. The estimate appears in the new World Economic Outlook report, marked by the impact of the war in the Middle East
.According to material released by the IMF, the world economy would grow 3.1% in 2026, while advanced economies would grow by around 1.8%. In this context, Brazil appears to have an expected expansion of 1.9%, the United States with 2.3%, the euro area with 1.1% and Japan with just 0.7%. The organization's table also includes Germany with 0.8%, France with 0.9%, Italy with 0.5%, the United Kingdom with 0.8% and Canada with 1.5%. In other words: even with the cut applied by the Fund, Argentina would be ahead of Brazil and each of the G7 powers
.
The IMF itself explained that the downward correction for Argentina responded “largely to the lower momentum in activity in the second half of last year”, although it maintained the 4% forecast for 2027. Even so, the figure continues to show a very strong performance compared to a large part of the region and, above all, to the block of the main developed economies. While several powers are barely scratching growth, Argentina would continue to expand
