Argentina: Final consumption expenditure (constant 2015 US$)

Key figures

Over five years it is up 23.57% from US$422.85 billion in 2020 (4.32% a year on average, compounded). Since 1960 it is up 377.95% from US$109.33 billion in 1960 (2.44% a year on average, compounded).

What the numbers say

In 2025, Argentina's final consumption expenditure (constant 2015 US$) rose 6.7% on 2024 (from US$489.89 billion to US$522.52 billion).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +2.1% and a typical year strayed about 6.3% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.7 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 14.8% in 1991 and the biggest yearly fall was 12.8% in 2002. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2016 to 2025 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 1% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
