Last published date:

As a geographically large country with widely distributed population centers, Argentina has substantial needs to increase and improve infrastructure.  A major constraint is a lack of investment in and financing of such large projects.

The Argentine government plays a prominent role in the infrastructure sector. In the short term, the current administration is focused on small-scale infrastructure projects, in the $20 million range, featuring opportunities for local companies in an effort to create local jobs, as well as other projects tendered and awarded under the previous administration. The administration’s priorities for privatization include the management of social housing, ports, roads, rail, and waterworks. Expected tenders which present opportunities for U.S. companies include upgrading and modernizing the “Hidrovía” riverway, constructing of pipelines for hydrocarbons, modernizing railways, expanding power transmission lines, and building logistics infrastructure to connect remote mining operations.
