Overview
- IDEA announced the 62nd Coloquio on Thursday, setting the conference for Sept. 30–Oct. 2 in Mar del Plata to focus on how Argentina can sustain two decades of growth.
- Organizers built the agenda from a comparative study of seven long‑running growth cases and grouped sessions under four axes: Stability, The World, Competitiveness and Development.
- The event overlaps the government’s Argentina Week in Paris so IDEA is arranging virtual participation for President Javier Milei and top ministers if they cannot attend in person.
- CEOs publicly endorse many government reforms but demand stable institutions, fiscal discipline, cuts to distortionary provincial and municipal taxes, broader tax collection and a deeper domestic capital market to finance long projects.
- IDEA warns that sustained 2–4% annual growth would create skilled labor shortages and greater demand for long‑term credit such as mortgages and project finance, stressing that policy continuity is key given Argentina’s history of reversals.
