We've revised down our 2024 GDP forecast by 0.2ppts to -3.8% y/y, below consensus and the IMF's estimate of -3.5%. Our revision reflects a larger-than-expected contraction in Q2 data, mainly in investments. We expect a U-shaped recovery for the Argentinian economy, with consumption improving gradually due to slow rises in real wages and a weaker agricultural sector in Q3. We forecast GDP growth of 4.3% next year, up 0.2ppts from our previous estimate.
