David Miazzo, an economist, stated on 2026-01-15 that the stock of bank credit to the agricultural and agro-industrial sector in Argentina reached USD 12.3 billion. ^[1] Argentina projects total exports to reach $101.8 billion in 2026, a 17% increase from the $87.111 billion recorded in 2025. ^[2] The resulting trade surplus is projected to hit a historic high of nearly $27 billion in 2026, compared to $11.32 billion in 2025. ^[3] David Miazzo explained that the USD 12.3 billion figure represents 30.5% of the total credit allocated to various economic activities in Argentina. ^[4] The interannual growth of bank credit to the agricultural sector was 37%, driven primarily by financing denominated in dollars. ^[5] Energy exports are forecast to jump 58% to $17.5 billion in 2026, reflecting the productive deployment of hydrocarbons. ^[6] The energy trade balance is expected to shift from a near-zero or deficit position to a surplus of approximately $15.5 billion, explaining more than half of the total trade surplus. ^[7] David Miazzo noted that the expansion was facilitated by a significant increase in private sector deposits within the banking system to approximately USD 43 billion. ^[8]
