At a high-level UAE-Argentina economic seminar in Abu Dhabi, Argentina presented the new investment framework ’RIGI’ to UAE business leaders, showcasing incentives across priority sectors such as mining, energy, infrastructure, and technology. The event was hosted by the UAE Ministry of Economy, in collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
The RIGI programme, which offers the global investment community access to projects in key sectors of the Argentinian economy, is designed to attract large-scale international investments by offering significant incentives across key sectors, including mining and energy, infrastructure and tourism, technology and advanced industries and manufacturing. It provides regulatory stability, tax incentives, and long-term predictability for foreign investors, ensuring that businesses operating in Argentina can expand with confidence and access high-growth opportunities.
The UAE-Argentina seminar concluded with a commitment from both nations to continue strengthening economic collaboration, exploring joint investment projects, trade partnerships, and new areas of cooperation in the years ahead. It builds on growing non-oil trade that reached US$537.1 million in 2024, a 68% increase from 2019.
Major Argentinian exports to the UAE include corn, iron pipes, and soybean products, reflecting Argentina’s strength in agricultural and industrial goods. Meanwhile, the UAE exports high-value machinery and tools, supporting Argentina’s growing manufacturing and technology sectors.
