Overview
Argentina's listed companies stood at 85 in 2021, a decline of +6 from 2020. Argentina ranked 29th globally.
Argentina’s listed companies fell dramatically from an all‑time peak of 321.00 in 1975 to just 85.00 in 2021, placing the country at rank 29 globally with the latest figure reported by the World Bank. This 73.5 percent decline over 47 years reflects a long‑run contraction in market depth that outpaces peers such as Tunisia (80.00) and Jamaica (90.00), both of which retain higher counts despite similar economic volatility. The sharp trough in 2021 coincides with recurring macro‑economic challenges, including inflationary pressures and sovereign debt restructurings, which have discouraged new listings and discouraged foreign capital inflows. By contrast, the 1970s peak occurred during a period of relative openness and higher domestic savings, underscoring how policy environments shape equity market development. If Argentina can achieve fiscal consolidation, improve regulatory certainty and foster investor confidence, the downward trajectory may stabilize and potentially reverse, allowing the number of listed firms to recover modestly in the coming decade.
