Strategy and Projects

Argentina’s National Strategy for 2025–2028 focuses on three key pillars:

  1. Economic liberalization and productivity: Boosting private investment through regulatory reforms, productive modernization, infrastructure expansion, and integration into the global economy.
  2. Social protection and poverty reduction: Supporting vulnerable populations to reduce poverty, with an emphasis on improving and strengthening social protection systems, health, education, urban conditions, and citizen security.
  3. Fiscal efficiency and sustainability: Supporting fiscal reforms that promote sustainability and the technical and allocative efficiency of public spending, while also strengthening tax administration.

Additionally, the strategy includes institutional strengthening as a cross-cutting axis aimed at improving the efficiency and transparency of the public sector and promoting digitalization and innovation in public management.

National strategies remain valid for one year beyond the indicated period, as they stay active during the preparation of the next strategy.
