Argentina Healthcare Commercial Officer Visit
End : 3 Jul 2009 - 17:00
The UK is the sixth largest investor in Argentina, investing over US $2 billion in the last three years. In 2008 UK exports to Argentina (£295m) were up 30% on 2007 and UK imports (£532m) up by 24%, with bilateral trade exceeding £800m.
UK companies continue to have an important stake in sectors such as pharmaceuticals and the agribusiness. Following the 2002 economic crisis, Argentina’s growth rate over the past five years has been over 8.5% year on year. Even in 2008, when the first effects of the international crisis were felt, Argentina grew by approximately 6%.
Sandra Coggins from our trade team in Buenos Aires, who covers the Life Sciences, Agribusiness and Security/Fire& Safety sectors, will be in the UK on 2-3 July and also 17 July and would be interested in meeting with any companies who might be interested in doing business in Argentina.
