## Interview on Argentina’s Economic Outlook
**Anchor:** Welcome back. We are joined today by Alex Reed, an expert on Latin American economics, to discuss Argentina’s economic prospects as the country takes the helm of Mercosur. Welcome.
**Alex Reed:** Thank you for having me.
**Anchor:** Argentina is stepping into the interim presidency of Mercosur at a crucial time, with hopes high for a long-sought free trade agreement with the European Union. Can you tell us more about what this means for Argentina’s economy?
**Alex Reed:** Absolutely. Argentina is indeed vying for economic prosperity, and this Mercosur presidency offers a potentially significant opportunity. Securing a trade deal with the EU would be a major boon, opening up new markets for Argentine goods and services. As we’ve seen from [1](https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/mercosur-south-americas-fractious-trade-bloc) and the recent developments in Montevideo, negotiations have been ongoing for nearly 25 years. The presence of key figures like French President Macron and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen at the Mercosur Summit underscores the seriousness with which this agreement is being pursued.
**Anchor:** What are some of the challenges Argentina faces in achieving this goal?
**Alex Reed:** There are definitely hurdles to overcome. We’ve seen some hesitance from certain EU members, like Germany, regarding the terms of the deal. Balancing the interests of all Mercosur members, including the recently incorporated Bolivia, also adds complexity. Furthermore, Argentina needs to maintain internal economic stability and make structural reforms to fully capitalize on the benefits of any trade agreement [1](https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/mercosur-south-americas-fractious-trade-bloc).
**Anchor:** Many thanks for your insights on this fascinating story. We’ll certainly be watching closely to see how these developments unfold.
**Alex Reed:** My pleasure.
