Neuquén
The governor called the primaries an unnecessary expense and said he will assess each national bill by its provincial impact. Before meeting Diego Santilli, he presented Luis Caputo with claims over debts and assets, along with a relief plan for indebted families.
National
The labor confederation delivered a document to the Economy Ministry during a joint march with both CTAs and social organizations. It sought credit regulation, specific support for small firms and temporary payment relief; the government has not announced that it accepts the proposals.
Tucumán
Gerónimo Vargas Aignasse and Carlos Gallia are sponsoring a bill that would restrict use of the provincial payroll-deduction system. The proposal caps deductions and sets an interest benchmark, but remains in committee and does not regulate loans collected outside payroll.
Salta
The early arrival of heat forced the release of winter stock, but seasonal discounts also seek to generate cash in the face of shrinking consumption. Native, Radio Armador, and Monroe closed permanently, while other bazaars and electronics stores left the Florida pedestrian street.
Misiones
The Ministry of Industry will accompany the selected SMEs to a business round on 26 of August in La Rural. The mission will offer meetings with buyers and operators from the sector, but their participation does not guarantee contracts, new clients, or sales until the negotiations produce concrete agreements.
Neuquén
The procedure applies to pears, apples, quinces, and cherries and begins in Sigtraza with a Tax Key. Those who export must validate documentation before the SENASA; then there will be inspections at the establishments between September and mid-October.
Buenos Aires
The head of the Fuerza Patria bloc in the Buenos Aires Senate introduced a system to protect the income of indebted public employees. The proposal sets a ceiling on deductions, creates early warnings and provides for penalties, but still faces legislative debate.
San Juan
Turnover has stopped being immediate in Peatonal and its surroundings: both new and long-standing businesses have closed, while owners are easing rent increases to retain tenants. Consumption, digital sales, operating costs, and the search for smaller spaces explain a vacancy estimated between one and three months.
Mendoza
BHP will pay US$3 million and finance at least US$5 million over two years, while Kobrea will continue as the operator. Then it can choose up to four projects and obtain 75% from each if it invests a minimum of US$40 million in exploration over eight years.
Río Negro
The province showcased its water, productive, and scientific potential to more than a hundred attendees. The electrification and modernization works are supported by a loan from BID for USD 80 million and plan to expand the area over five years.
Buenos Aires
The debate over the Super RIGI reached the point that most concerns industrial chambers and SMEs: what a major investment benefited for decades by the State leaves in the Argentine economy. Ariel Aguilar, Buenos Aires province's Undersecretary for Commercial Development and Investment Promotion, said the project has “zero requirement for local productive development.” The argument exposes a deeper discussion about the country model.
Autonomous City of Buenos Aires
The City government announced real-time monitoring, quality standards and indicators to review recyclable collection. The decision follows complaints about scattered waste and operational failures, although no implementation timetable has yet been announced.
San Luis
The contraction affects the capital and towns in the interior, without a consolidated provincial count of closures. Promotions, clearances, card cashbacks, and e-commerce aim to compensate for weakened demand, but merchants and families describe a subsistence-level activity affected by costs and debt.
Buenos Aires
The retail workers' union described much slower turnover in central Tandil: after a clearance sale and closure, another business no longer moves in quickly. The city still lacks a consolidated local count measuring the scale of the trend.
La Rioja
The Five-Year Plan 2026-2030 prioritizes copper and lithium, with 566.180 hectares under prospecting and 64.681 in initial exploration. The Government promises water monitoring, social participation, employment, and local suppliers; these mechanisms will still need to prove their effectiveness and build community acceptance.
Salta
