What the numbers say
In 2025, Argentina's net financial account (BoP, current US$) fell US$14.32 billion on 2024 (from US$2.32 billion to −US$12 billion).

This year's change was 1.5 standard deviations below that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was US$28.23 billion in 2024 and the biggest yearly fall was US$18.48 billion in 2023. 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 13% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
