WRI’s assessment
Argentina’s Logistics Growth Index fell 3.7 points to 48.4 in October 2026, moving into contraction, and ranks fifth of five in the region. The decline was driven primarily by falls in business volume and transportation, amid broader economic weakness, with consumer-goods sales down on a year earlier over January to September, retail sales weak in August and signs of reduced freight volumes.
“Argentina’s logistics sector contracted in October after retail sales stayed weak through August and consumer-goods sales fell year on year through September. Ship-tracking estimates also pointed to lower exports than in September, and runway maintenance at Ezeiza airport curtailed air freight operations.”
