ARGENTINA: Government Reopens Tax Amnesty Programme, Tax Revenue At 6-Month High

ARGENTINA
  • The government has reopened the first stage of its tax amnesty programme, so that taxpayers who have already deposited cash can complete pending procedures. The new extension will be in force until December 6.
  • Meanwhile, data released late yesterday revealed that government tax revenue was ARS 13.026tn in November, the most for six months, up from ARS 12.78tn in October. Looking ahead, with no macro figures due today, attention turns to October industrial production and construction activity data on Friday. After that, November CPI data follow next week.
  • The CPI data will be particularly interesting, after Economy Minister Caputo reiterated yesterday that the government will slow the crawling peg on the peso if inflation continues to ease. This follows remarks from President Milei last month, who said then that the government would slow the crawling FX peg to 1%, from 2%, if monthly inflation stays constant for another two months. In October, headline consumer prices rose by 2.7% m/m, after a 3.5% gain the month before.
