What we are known for

Business opportunities

RIGI
The Large Investments Incentive Regime (RIGI), an ambitious initiative to enhance Argentina’s economic growth and competitiveness, aims to attract large-scale, long-term investments in sectors like mining, infrastructure, energy, and oil and gas, amongst others. RIGI offers a comprehensive package of tax, customs, foreign exchange, and regulatory incentives, along with a stability regime that protects rights and allows for international dispute resolution. To qualify, projects must meet specific investment thresholds and comply with the regime by August 2026.
Upstream and Midstream New Developments in Vaca Muerta

Argentina is aiming to significantly boost its non-conventional hydrocarbons production. This effort includes new infrastructure projects such as pipelines for crude oil, natural gas, and NGLs, along with new processing, port facilities, and a large-scale LNG project.

Mining Strengths and Emerging Opportunities in Argentina

Significant geological and exploration potential, supported by a robust legal title regime. Major copper and lithium projects are in the pipeline, with growing trends in M&As, development investment, and project finance. Renewed promotional investment regime through RIGI which fully supersedes the Mining Investment Law regime and flaws.

Power Generation and Transmission Infrastructure

Argentina to continue expanding its power generation matrix -both conventional and renewable-, mainly through private investment with private off-takers. Transmission infrastructure expansion -both nation-wide and locally- is essential.

Human Capital

Argentina is leveraging its highly educated and innovative workforce, supported by a robust educational system and a culture of creativity, through deep labor reforms that will further enhance its position as a hub for innovation and talent in Latin America, attracting global investments and partnerships.

Energy Transition and Development of a Carbon Market

Argentina has seen notable progress in carbon reduction projects, attracting interest from both local and international developers and brokers. The focus has been primarily on REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation), ARR (Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation), and Agricultural Land Management (ALM) projects, among others.

Financing

Several projects to be developed under the RIGI will request financing (including project financing and project bonds solutions). In addition, multilaterals will play a key role in the new political and macro-economic cycle. Argentina faces a significant need for infrastructure development across key sectors, including toll roads, energy transmission, and social projects. The country’s ability to secure financing for these projects will depend on shifts in the legal landscape, particularly foreign exchange controls, and the government’s management of bond maturities. Financing could be pursued directly or through partnerships like private initiatives.
