Weekly Wrap-Up, Week of April 6 | Glacier law change, big BCRA purchase, manufacturing takes a blow & Morgan Stanley's surprise call
from The Argentina Brief · host Francisco Aldaya, Daniel Politi, and Allie Lazar
Argentina's Congress passed a sweeping reform to the glacier protection law, handing provincial governors the power to greenlight mining on previously protected formations — potentially unlocking up to $28 billion in copper investment from BHP and Glencore. The central bank logged its second-largest single-day dollar purchase since Milei took office, extending a 64-session buying streak. And Morgan Stanley says Argentina could post a current account surplus this year — three years ahead of IMF projections.Also this week: manufacturing fell nearly 9% year-on-year as the two-speed economy deepens, capital controls were partially loosened, March inflation ticked back up to 3% on fuel costs, Arca Continental signaled a sustained consumer recovery, and Marcelo Mindlin completed a landmark cement deal spanning Argentina and Brazil.
