Argentinian foreign trade in figures

Argentina has been a relatively closed market to international trade, which accounted for 30.5% of its GDP in 2020 (World Bank). Nevertheless, the government has been trying to reduce protectionism and president Fernández is seeking a mature relationship with China and the US. The country's main exports include oil-cake and other solid residues (13.7%), maize (11%), soy-bean oil and soya beans (10.8%), meat (3.8%), and wheat and meslin (3.7%); while it imports soya beans (4.7%), auto parts and accessories (3.9%), motor cars and other motor vehicles (3.8%), electrical apparatus for line telephony (3.4%), and petroleum gas and other gaseous hydrocarbons (2.8%). According to IMF Foreign Trade Forecasts, the volume of exports of goods and services increased by 6.7% in 2021 and is expected to remain stable at 6.8% in 2022, while the volume of imports of goods and services increased by 23.2% in 2021 and is expected to decrease to 3% in 2022.

As part of the Mercosur, Brazil is Argentina’s main trade partner for both exports and imports, followed by China, the United States, Germany, Chile, Paraguay, Vietnam, and Germany. Even though Brazil has been Argentina's biggest partner for years, their relationship has been deteriorating since the election of Bolsonaro’s ideological opposite, Alberto Fernandez. Additionally, Mercosur is facing a fragile state, with a weak institutional structure and ideological differences between its members. With plans of changing its rules, Argentina could possibility delay opening up its economy to bilateral deals, while the rest of the members take the opposite path.

According to the last available data from WTO, Argentina exported USD 54.8 billion worth of goods in 2020, and imported USD 42.3 billion. As for services, the country imported USD 11.6 billion and exported USD 9.2 million. Overall, imports declined 18.1% compared to the previous year, while exports decreased 17.7%, resulting on an overall trade balance of USD 14.4 billion.

Exchange Rate System

Local Currency: Argentine Peso (ARS)
Exchange Rate Regime: The Convertibility Act of 1 April 1991 and the Deregulation Decree of November 1991 have abolished exchange control. Therefore, there is free foreign currency convertibility and a right to transfer profits and capital at any time and with no declaration formalities. Argentina has a floating exchange system, but the government ensures it keeps a regular exchange rate with the dollar.
Level of Currency Instability: In 2001, Argentina suffered drastic devaluation. The Argentine peso which up to then was at parity with the dollar dropped to about one third of its value. For a few years now, its value has remained stable in relation to the dollar thanks to the action of the central bank. It is still a high risk currency.
