BUENOS AIRES - Argentina's economy expanded 4.40% in 2025 compared with the prior year, the country's INDEC statistics agency said on Friday, a touch below analysts' 4.45% estimate.

Argentina's gross domestic product (GDP) expanded 2.1% in the October to December period compared to the same period of 2024, also just slightly under analysts' 2.2% estimate and below the 2.6% ⁠logged a year earlier.

GDP for Latin America's third-largest economy also grew 0.6% compared to the prior quarter in seasonally-adjusted terms, it said.

The data marks the second consecutive quarter of quarter-on-quarter growth and fifth of year-on-year expansion.

Annual GDP contracted 1.3% overall in 2024, according to INDEC data.

Through 2025, agriculture and farming, mining and quarrying and ‌financial ⁠services led growth, INDEC noted, while public administration, social and healthcare services, domestic sectors and fishing saw output decline.

Economists expect Argentina's GDP to again rise in 2026. A latest survey ⁠by Argentina's central bank found that analysts on average forecast 3.4% growth for this year.
