Argentina BCRA cuts 2026 GDP forecast to 2.1% on weak investment, consumption

Argentina's central bank (BCRA) lowered its 2026 GDP growth projection to 2.1% from 2.7% a month ago, citing weaker investment and consumption. The revision reflects a deteriorating domestic demand outlook and follows a statistical drag from December 2025. This signals a downward adjustment in growth expectations for Argentina's economy.
