Argentina posted a record $18.9 billion trade surplus for 2024, according to official data released on Monday, that largely coincides with libertarian President Javier Milei's first full year on the job.

President Javier Milei made good on his promise to deliver a fiscal surplus in his first year, achieving a feat not seen in over a decade in Argentina’s deficit-prone economy.

Argentina likely logged the largest trade surplus in its history in 2024, a Reuters analyst poll released on Friday showed, on the back of libertarian President Javier Milei's bid to boost grains and energy exports in his first full year in office.
