The number of empty commercial premises in Buenos Aires neighborhoods can be an indicator of the crisis. If the drop in consumption continues, we can expect an increase in empty premises, says the Argentine Chamber of Commerce and Services (CAC) The numbers for the January and February two-month period confirm a relative increase, "although not a significant variation," says the CAC.

But compared to the previous measurement, corresponding to November-December 2023, there was an increase of 24.2%, since the number ofempty premises had been 157. On the other hand, if it is compared with January-February 2024, a 28% drop in vacancies was recorded.
