Country overview

The quality of Argentina's infrastructure procurement processes improved significantly, helping to bring better value for money and quality outcomes from investment. Regulatory reforms have also led to a marked improvement in the ease of starting a business, encouraging investment and competition from new suppliers.

Governance structure

Argentina has a three-tiered system of government consisting of federal, provincial, and municipal levels, and has a civil law legal system. Argentina’s sub-national governments carry out two-thirds of total public investment. This is mainly led by provincial governments, which enjoy a high level of autonomy and responsibility in public service delivery. Municipal governments also play an important role in infrastructure investment and management, especially for urban development.

National Infrastructure Banks

In tandem with the development of forward pipelines, the National Infrastructure Banks and Similar Financing Facilities tool serves as guidance to governments looking to establish or reform National Infrastructure Banks. These institutions can maximise the quantity and quality of infrastructure projects and crowd in private investment, providing value for end users. National Infrastructure Banks provide the financing, expertise, and long-term planning for both public and private stakeholders to develop infrastructure in line with the needs of the community.
