Río Negro to tender free trade zone near Argentina LNG export hub

Río Negro province will launch an international tender in November for a free trade zone near the planned Argentina LNG export hub, aiming to attract industrial, logistics, and service firms. The move aligns with Argentina's push to develop Vaca Muerta shale and secure foreign investment, with officials courting investors in Paris. The zone's success hinges on final investment decisions for the LNG project, which remain uncertain.
