Argentina’s economy expanded more than expected in November, as its post-pandemic recovery regained momentum despite political noise and uncertainty related to debt talks with the International Monetary Fund.

Economic activity rose 1.7% from October, the fastest pace since June and above analysts’ expectations for a 0.9% expansion. From a year ago, it grew 9.3%, according to government data published Tuesday.
