# Argentina → United States economic convergence

Indicator: GDP per capita (PPP) (constant 2021 international $)
Latest shared data: 2025
Argentina: $27,847
United States: $76,931
Argentina is at 36% of United States.

## Scenario

Argentina annual growth: -0.3% (trailing 10-year average)
United States annual growth: 1.8% (trailing 10-year average)

## Result

If Argentina grew -0.3% a year and United States 1.8% a year, Argentina would never catch up with United States on GDP per capita (PPP).
