Argentina’s economy expanded more than expected in December, solidifying the country’s bounceback in the last quarter of the year under President Javier Milei’s watch.

Economic activity rose 0.5% from November, more than the 0.2% median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg. Monthly growth beat expectations the previous month, too. From a year ago, the gross domestic product proxy grew 5.5%, compared with the median estimate of 3.5%, according to government data published Tuesday.
