Overview
- Patricia Bullrich has opened talks with the UCR, PRO and provincial blocs and has accepted proposals on local sourcing and energy rules to try to get the Súper RIGI through the Senate after La Libertad Avanza failed to reach a majority.
- The Súper RIGI is a high-value investment regime that would cut corporate tax to about 15%, speed up amortization and offer fiscal, customs and currency benefits to attract tech, AI data centers and critical-minerals projects.
- Allied senators want the bill’s 20% local‑supplier commitment limited to goods actually produced in Argentina, a change that would narrow how investment spending must be sourced.
- Provincial blocs pressed for electrointensive projects such as AI data centers to secure their own power supplies to avoid burdening provincial grids, a demand the Economy Ministry led by Luis Caputo has publicly rejected as likely to deter investors.
- Any Senate amendments would trigger a return of the text to the Chamber of Deputies for revision and complicate a packed September agenda in which Bullrich must also win support for Bank Central reform, Inocencia Fiscal II and the Patents law.
