Indec says Argentina's economy contracted 2.7% through October
A report released Friday by Argentina's National Institute of Statistics and Census (Indec) showed that the country's economic activity fell by 0.7% in October for an accumulated 2.7% interannual contraction in the first ten months of 2024, driven particularly by fishing (-49.9%) and construction (-14.5%) amid President Javier Milei's austerity plans which included halting all public works.
