Foreign investors and their investments are protected by Argentine law. National and international provisions ensure Argentina is a safe destination for foreign investment and foreign investors.
For instance, Argentina has signed almost sixty bilateral investment treaties and created an entire law (the Foreign Investment Law, No. 21382) to regulate and protect foreign investment. Argentina became an ICSID member in 1994 and has been an Observer of the Investment Committee of the OECD since 1996. Furthermore, the country is a member of the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) and a member of the World Bank Group, which provides insurance coverage for foreign investments made by persons or legal entities established in member countries.
