The Argentine Steel Chamber (Acero Argentino) reported that the country's crude steel production reached 375,600 tonnes in April, compared to 387,400 tonnes in March and 317,400 tonnes in April 2025. S350GD+ZM Hot dip Zinc-magnesium alloy coating (ZM) steel , Production of hot-rolled coils (HRC) rose by 1% to 129,400 tonnes, and cold-rolled coils (CRC) increased by 17.5% to 94,500 tonnes, while long steel production fell by 1.1% to 126,100 tonnes.

Compared to April 2025, the data shows an 18.3% increase in crude steel production, alongside declines of 32.9% for HRC, 7.5% for CRC, and 10% for long steel.

The Argentine Industrial Union stated that Argentina maintains a distorted tax system across national, provincial, and municipal levels, which hinders the creation of local value.

A shortage of credit is a primary factor contributing to the underperformance of these sectors.
