The World Bank Group has announced an acceleration of its support for Argentina, with plans to provide up to $4 billion in the coming months. This initiative combines public-sector financing and private-sector investment, aiming to help Argentina advance its reform efforts and long-term growth agenda.
According to the World Bank Group, the funding will focus on several key areas: developing mining and critical minerals, promoting tourism as a source of employment and local development, increasing access to energy, and strengthening supply chains along with financing for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
This latest step builds on the World Bank Group’s previously announced $12 billion support package from April. The organization stated that this move reflects confidence in Argentina’s current efforts to modernize its economy, implement structural reforms, attract private investment, and generate new jobs. The statement also noted that all proposed operations are subject to approval by the World Bank’s Board of Executive Directors.
