Argentina’s economy rebounded in the third quarter as a vaccination campaign picked up momentum and the government spurred activity by shedding most of its Covid-19 lockdown restrictions.

Gross domestic product expanded 11.9% in the quarter from a year ago, just below analysts’ estimate for 12% growth. The economy grew 4.1% compared to the previous three-month period, according to government data published Thursday. The recovery followed a second quarter contraction.
