Argentina’s economy grew more than expected in January

Argentina’s economy grew more than expected in January, solidifying the country’s bounceback after two straight quarters of growth under President Javier Milei’s watch. Economic activity rose 0.6 percent from December, more than the 0.2 percent median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg. From a year ago, the gross domestic product proxy grew 6.5 percent, compared with the median estimate of five percent. Retail sales led year-on-year growth, followed by financial activity and manufacturing, while fishing, hotels and restaurants fell compared with the same time period.
