The Argentina Ministry of Finance published remarks by Economy Minister Luis Caputo at ExpoEFI 2026 outlining the government's near-term economic agenda rather than announcing a formal new measure. Caputo said concessions and privatizations will continue through year-end and are expected to generate about USD 2 billion, while also pointing to stronger tax revenue, record exports approaching USD 100 billion and an expected resumption of disinflation from April alongside faster-than-expected growth. On infrastructure, 9,000 kilometres of road corridors are expected to be under construction by July, another 12,000 kilometres of national roads will be tendered and the transfer of roads to provinces will advance. Caputo also said 7 or 8 more RIGI projects worth USD 30 billion to USD 40 billion, mostly in upstream activities, should enter in the coming weeks, and he cited projected cumulative surpluses of USD 350 billion in energy and USD 162 billion in mining from this year to 2035.
