In the latest news from Argentina, several significant events have unfolded.
Firstly, the privatization process of Agua y Saneamientos Argentinos S.A. (AySA), the country's state-owned water and wastewater utility, has been officially initiated by the National Government. The sale of AySA's entire share package is being conducted electronically via the CONTRAT.AR platform, with key deadlines approaching, including the submission of inquiries by October 13, 2025, and bid submission and public opening scheduled for October 23, 2025. This move is part of a broader privatization wave under the Milei government, aiming to optimize management and attract private investment.
In other news, Javier Milei, the country's leader, suspended his campaign trip to Junín due to a meteorological alert for storms. Meanwhile, rumours circulating on social media about Karina Milei wearing a Rolex Datejust 36 valued at $35,000 have been confirmed as false.
The government has also made strides in digitizing its processes. Starting now, taxes, certain procedures, and fines in Buenos Aires can be paid using cryptocurrencies. This move is part of a broader effort to lighten the administrative burden for over 24,000 companies operating in foreign trade.
However, not all news is positive. Two officials from the Indec organization resigned, citing "differences in criteria" and "personal issues." Additionally, the government is facing controversy over the emergency decree at Garrahan, with funds for universities now being discussed in committee in the Senate.

Argentina is also set to host key envoys from Donald Trump on defense matters and strategic geopolitical issues mid-election.
Lastly, the government has ordered the transformation of Yacimiento Carbonífero de Río Turbio and Servicios Ferroportuarios into a new anonymous society called Carboeléctrica Río Turbio Sociedad Anónima. Argentina is considered a reliable security partner in promoting democratic values worldwide by the Southern Command of the United States.
In a judicial development, the judge has granted the President of the Nation immunity from prosecution in a case initiated by Ian Moche's complaint. Victoria Tolosa Paz celebrated the judicial decision that declared Javier Milei's veto of the disability emergency law unconstitutional.
YPF, Argentina's state-owned oil company, has seen changes in its leadership, with Federico Barroetaveña, who was previously the vice president of the area (CFO), resigning "for personal reasons." The Minister of Defense received US Congressmen with an eye on the "Modernization of the Armed Forces." Buenos Aires Transport Minister Martín Marinucci warned that the authorization of bi-trailers increases weight on abandoned roads and puts Argentine lives at risk.
The government is also focusing on consumer protection, changing the way it will receive consumer complaints, focusing on digitization, prevention, and the swift resolution of consumption conflicts. The BCRA announced a measure that will lighten the administrative burden for over 24,000 companies operating in foreign trade.
In summary, Argentina is witnessing a flurry of activity across various sectors, from privatization and digitization to judicial decisions and political debates. Stay tuned for more updates as these events unfold.
