Argentina managed to advance four positions in the 2025 international competitiveness ranking, placing 58th among 70 countries, marking a significant improvement compared to the previous year.
This progress reflects an advancement against other analyzed economies and occurs in a context of structural reforms driven by the Government of Javier Milei, aimed at organizing macroeconomic variables and reducing both the size and the bureaucracy of the State.
The new edition of the report highlighted that the country achieved a score of 46.9 points, surpassing several economies in the region such as Colombia (45.9), Peru (43.3), Mexico (42.8), and Brazil (40.1).

Within Latin America, Argentina positioned itself at an intermediate level, in a national scenario that continues to drag structural problems inherited from decades of leftist policies.
The ranking evaluates key aspects such as infrastructure, government efficiency, economic performance, and innovation capacity.
In this context, Argentina's rise is a positive signal achieved through free market reforms and the economic transformation process of the country under Milei's management.

Ranking Data
Globally, Singapore topped the ranking with a score of 100, followed by Hong Kong SAR (95.6) and Switzerland (95.3).
The top 10 also included economies such as Taiwan, the United Arab Emirates, Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United States. The gap with these countries reflects the accumulated impact of years of economic disorder and leftist policies in Argentina, although the recent advance marks a change in trend.
In the regional comparison, Chile remained the best-positioned country at 43rd place with 63.1 points, while Venezuela closed the table in 70th place. Although Argentina is still in the last third of the ranking, the report emphasized that the country has begun to show improvements in key indicators.
The report noted that the country implemented measures to reduce regulations, promote economic openness, and improve administrative transparency. These actions are part of the current economic program, which aims to create more competitive conditions for investment and productive development.
Among the recorded advances, improvements were highlighted in variables such as inflation control, access to international markets, and exchange rate stability.
Although the gap with the most competitive countries remains wide, the trend indicates a change compared to previous years and opens expectations for sustained improvement in the medium term.
