Argentina Completes Conversion of State Firms, Paving Way for 2026 Privatizations

The move puts the companies under private corporate law to enable planned early‑2026 privatizations.

Overview

  • Inspector General Daniel Roque Vítolo said the registry recorded the final change, turning Ferrocarriles Argentinos SE into a single‑shareholder corporation.
  • The transformations implement DNU 70/2023, subjecting former state companies to the General Companies Law No. 19,550.
  • The Agency for the Transformation of Public Companies executed the process as a temporary special unit under Decree 644/2024.
  • Signaled targets for upcoming sales center on energy and transport, including Transener, hydroelectric dams, AySA, Corredores Viales, Enarsa, Intercargo and the Vía Navegable Troncal.
  • Officials frame the privatizations as a push to expand private participation, attract investment and raise funds to strengthen international reserves and reduce the deficit.
