Argentina’s recent tax reforms aimed at attracting foreign investment have earned high praise from an unexpected source: Dominic Perrottet, former Premier of New South Wales (NSW).

During a recent meeting with Argentine Ambassador to the United States, Alejandro (Alec) Oxenford, in Washington, D.C., Perrottet lauded the government’s efforts. This positive assessment comes from a significant figure; Perrottet, after a 13-year political career concluding in 2024, now heads U.S. corporate and external affairs for BHP, the world’s largest mining company.

Perrottet took to social media to express his approval, stating, “Argentina is stepping up. Clearer rules, competitive taxes and a serious growth agenda.” He further highlighted his meeting with Ambassador Oxenford, emphasizing the government’s proactive approach to welcoming global investment.

This endorsement from a prominent international figure signals a potential shift in global perception of Argentina’s investment climate. The reforms, evidently, are making a positive impression on key players in the international business community.
