Argentina’s 1Q26 GDP grew 3.0% q/q saar, marking a seventh straight quarter of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC
expansion and putting real GDP 1.5% above its pre-crisis peak. Growth was driven Florencia Palacios
by a 3.4% rise in private consumption, while fixed investment fell 6.7% and public (1-212) 622-1129
consumption dropped sharply. Both exports and imports contracted, with net florencia.x.palacios@jpmorgan.com
exports posting a deficit of 4.3% of GDP. For the rest of 2026, GDP is expected to J.P. Morgan Securities LLC

(91-22) 6157-3132
account deficit narrowed to US$1.7bn (1% of GDP) in 1Q26, mainly due to a bhavya.x.gupta@jpmchase.com
stronger trade surplus and lower imports, partially offset by higher dividend J.P. Morgan India Private Limited
outflows. The 12-month current account deficit improved to 0.6% of GDP, and
further gains are expected as energy, agriculture, and mining exports rise and
imports remain subdued, with the trade surplus forecast at US$25bn and the current
account now expected to be balanced for the year.
