Argentina has significant natural resources, a well-established industrial and technological base, and a highly skilled population. It also offers extensive infrastructure that enables a federal production network, with ports and entry and exit points for goods located across different regions of the country.

In a global context marked by change and redefinition, these characteristics are further enhanced and valued. For this reason, we firmly believe that Argentina will play a decisive role in addressing global challenges related to both food and energy security.

This process assigns a fundamental role to foreign direct investment (FDI), which should not be limited solely to the exploitation of natural resources, but should also contribute to the development of local productive capacities and value-added supply chains, generating sufficient quantity and quality of employment to ensure sustained growth.

With this objective, the current national government has embarked on a path aimed at creating favorable conditions for attracting and facilitating investment in dynamic and strategic sectors. To this end, through our Embassy and Consulate in the United Kingdom:

 

• We work with Argentine companies and start-ups;
• We assist foreign investors seeking opportunities in Argentina;
• We organize investment seminars and meetings with senior executives;
• We coordinate agendas for business visits to Argentina;
• We disseminate information on:

                  - Expressions of interest in investing in Argentina;

                 -  National, provincial, and municipal incentives to attract investment;

                  - The current economic context, key stakeholders, and dynamics affecting the region and the country in terms of FDI.

The economic program of President Milei’s administration has succeeded in stabilizing the exchange rate market, reducing inflation, ensuring legal certainty for investors, fostering a favorable climate for private initiative, and promoting transparent and predictable rules for companies investing in Argentina. 

This direction has been reinforced and expanded through the establishment of the “Incentive Regime for Large Investments” (RIGI), aimed at projects involving investments exceeding USD 200 million. Its objective is to create conditions of predictability, stability, and legal certainty for such projects, encouraging the development of local production chains and  providing special protections against potential state non-compliance.

In this way, RIGI provides tax, customs, foreign exchange, regulatory, and jurisdictional incentives, as well as regulatory stability for thirty years, for projects in eight strategic sectors: 

forestry, tourism, infrastructure, mining, technology, steel, energy, and oil and gas. The benefits under this regime may be extended and enhanced for up to 40 years.
