Economic activity showed strong growth during the first quarter of 2025, with a year-on-year increase of 5.8%, according to the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (Indec).
This figure reflects an improvement compared to the same period of the previous year, when the economy was still suffering the impact of the sharp devaluation recorded in the first days of Javier Milei's administration as a result of the Massazo.
Positive reaction at the start of the year
In the seasonally adjusted quarterly comparison, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by 0.8% compared to the last quarter of 2024. This development indicates a strong economic recovery following the macroeconomic reorganization implemented by the ruling party.
The report details that private consumption grew by 2.9% compared to the previous quarter, while gross fixed capital formation—an indicator that measures investment—showed a notable increase of 9.8%. In contrast, exports decreased by 1.5% and public consumption fell slightly, with a drop of 0.1%.
