This scenario makes both imports and exports more expensive, eroding the competitiveness of Argentine products in international markets while raising the cost of imported

The limited release of Anthropic’s Claude Mythos Preview AI model —restricted to a consortium of around 40 major technology companies such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple— reflects both an unprecedented leap in capabilities and growing concern over its implications for global cybersecurity, as the system can not only generate highly complex code but also identify thousands of critical vulnerabilities across operating systems, browsers, and key software, many of which

Agro-export sector entities —including the Chamber of Private Commercial Ports (CPPC), CIARA, and the Chamber of Grain Exporters (CEC)— warned that industrial action by freight transport operators is causing a logistics paralysis across the country and disrupting normal operations during the peak harvest season, due to blockades on roads and access points to key port hubs that interrupt the flow of trucks. The conflict, driven by demands for tariff adjustments in response to

Argentina has begun loading a bulk carrier with corn bound for China, marking the first such shipment in more than 15 years, as part of an expansion of agricultural trade between the two countries following China’s approval of Argentine corn imports in 2024 and amid a record harvest in the country.

Data from Anthropic shows that artificial intelligence does not produce equal outcomes among users, but rather exposes differences based on prior experience, judgment, and interpretation skills, challenging the assumption that AI automatically benefits digital natives. Instead, performance largely depends on the user’s accumulated cognitive framework, where more experienced professionals —referred to as the “silver generation”— achieve better results by crafting more precise

The Argentine Federation of Cargo Transport Business Entities (FADEEAC) warned that the sharp and rapid increase in fuel prices is putting the continuity of the supply chain across the country at risk, as since early March diesel and gasoline prices have risen between 20% and 25%, with repeated increases pushing grade-2 diesel —the most widely used fuel— above ARS 2,100 per liter, reaching one of the highest levels of the past decade and ranking among the most expensive in th

A new vessel arrived at the Port of Buenos Aires carrying 45 grain wagons to strengthen the Belgrano railway’s cereal branch, as part of a public-private collaboration scheme between Belgrano Cargas y Logística (BCyL/TAC) and the Unión Agrícola de Avellaneda (UAA), which advanced US$5.7 million in freight payments to finance the purchase from China’s CMEC. Each unit has a 55-tonne capacity and will be key to supporting the growth of the agro-industrial sector, in a context wh

A report by the accounting and tax firm Lisicki, Litvin & Abelovich warns that the update of Argentina’s transfer pricing penalty regime, in force since 2026, has significantly changed the risk landscape for companies engaged in international transactions, as formal non-compliance —such as failing to submit the transfer pricing report or the required tax return— can result in fines ranging from ARS 11,000,000 to ARS 22,000,000 per obligation, while not responding to requests
