Argentina’s economy grew by 5.8% year-on-year in the March quarter of 2025, below the 6.1% analysts had expected and extending the recovery that began with a 2.6% expansion in Q4 2024 after six straight quarters of contraction. The rebound was led by agriculture (3.7% vs. 1.6% in Q4 2024) as the effects of last year’s historic drought eased, alongside robust gains in construction (6.1% vs. -12.4%), manufacturing (5.1% vs. 0.7%), wholesale and retail trade (7.3% vs. 2.5%), transportation (2.6% vs. 2.0%) and financial intermediation (27.2% vs. 8.4%). On a quarter-on-quarter basis, GDP rose 0.8%, following a 2.0% gain in Q4.
