General government revenue as % of GDP GGR_NGDP
Argentina's government revenue was 32.18% in 2025, ranked 66th globally. This represents a 2.2% increase from 2024. Data from IMF WEO, covering 1993–2025.
Overview
Argentina's government revenue stood at 32.18% in 2025, a rise of +0.70% from 2024. The IMF projects 32.18% by 2025. Argentina ranked 66th globally.
Argentina’s government revenue as a share of GDP has risen steadily over the 33‑year span from 1993 to 2025, moving from 21.99 % in the earliest year to 32.18 % in the latest IMF World Economic Outlook release, a level that ranks 66th globally. The trajectory includes a pronounced trough of 19.88 % in 1996, reflecting the fiscal strain of the early 1990s, followed by an all‑time peak of 35.37 % in 2015 during a period of heightened tax collection and commodity‑driven growth. By 2025, Argentina’s revenue share is virtually aligned with peers such as Romania (32.21 %) and Switzerland (32.33 %), indicating convergence with middle‑income benchmarks despite persistent macro‑economic volatility. The upward swing suggests that ongoing reforms aimed at broadening the tax base and improving compliance could sustain the current level, while any reversal in commodity prices or fiscal discipline would likely alter the trajectory.

Argentina's government revenue could see positive impacts from the reported energy boom, with President Milei highlighting increased oil production nearing one million barrels a day. This growth in the energy sector is likely to boost tax receipts and royalties. Additionally, steady Chinese demand for Latin American commodities, including those exported by Argentina like soy, could further support government revenue through export taxes and economic activity.
