In brief: Argentina and Brazil delay free trade in auto sector

* Argentina’s Production & Labour Minister Dante Sica and Brazil’s Economy Minister Paulo Guedes have signed a new automotive agreement, which commits Argentina and Brazil to gradual trade integration, culminating in free trade in the automobile industry by July 2029. The deal replaces a previous deal, which stipulated that trade in automobiles and automobile parts would be free from July 2020.

The automotive sector represents 40% of all Argentina’s manufacturing exports and directly or indirectly generates more than 160,000 jobs.
