Argentina's retail sector experienced a notable slowdown in June 2025, as recent data reveals a significant decline in the year-over-year growth rate of retail sales. According to the latest figures updated on August 21, 2025, the retail sales growth rate decreased to 31.1% in June from a previous high of 40.7% recorded in May 2025.

This decline highlights a considerable cooling in consumer spending compared to the same period last year, indicating potential headwinds for Argentina's domestic market. The reduced growth rate, starting from a robust 40.7% in May, suggests that factors such as inflation and economic uncertainties might be impacting consumer confidence and spending patterns.

Analysts are closely monitoring these shifts, as this trend could have broader implications for the country's economic recovery and stability. As Argentina grapples with economic challenges, understanding the dynamics shaping retail sales is crucial for policymakers and businesses aiming to navigate the evolving economic landscape.
