With a 25.1% growth, the agriculture, livestock, hunting, and forestry sector had the greatest positive impact on the index\u2019s year-over-year change, followed by mining and quarrying, which saw a 9.6% increase.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, the day the INDEC published the report, Economy Minister Luis Caputo said in a X post that the index \u201creached a new all-time high, both in the seasonally adjusted series and in the trend-cycle indicator.\u201d<\/p>\n
President Javier Milei shared Caputo\u2019s post, with the caption \u201cTHE ECONOMY CONTINUES TO GROW\u201d on his X account, followed by \u201cTMAP,\u201d initials of \u201call is going according to plan\u201d in Spanish.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe worst-performing sectors account for 44.7% of registered private-sector jobs,\u201d he posted on X.<\/p>\n
Lechter calculated that if the level of economic activity seen in January 2026 were to hold throughout 2026, the economy would grow by 2.4%.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis figure is lower than the forecast in the Central Bank\u2019s market expectations survey (+3.4%),\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
