　　Argentina is located in the southeast of South America and is the second largest country in Latin America, second only to Brazil. Due to its rich mineral and tourism resources, it has become the second largest economy in the South American Common Market after its development in recent years. The member states of this common market have zero tariff trade. Therefore, any commodity that enters the Argentine market means that it can enter the markets of other member states of the South American Common Market such as Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay without hindrance. According to the Argentine "Business Chronicle" on February 9, 2017, JPMorgan Chase recently released an Argentine economic report, which stated that Argentina's economy grew by 4% in January 2017 and will continue to grow. The investment bank's economic research team believes that the increase in Argentina's automobile manufacturing output, the resumption of growth in daily necessities sales, the increase in local workers' real wages, increased consumption, and good grain harvests will all drive Argentina's economy forward. Argentina's economic growth is expected to be 3.2% in 2017.

　　Argentina's automobile industry is relatively developed in Latin America, with the country's car ownership of about 6 million vehicles. The automobile industry started early, with the first automobile assembly plant established in 1920. The first automobile production plant was established in 1952. Mass production of automobiles began in 1959. Since the 1990s, the automobile manufacturing industry has developed rapidly: in 1994, the annual output reached 400,000 vehicles, and in 1997 it reached 445,000 vehicles. Last year, Argentina's automobile production was 339,200 vehicles, including 238,750 cars, 85,900 multi-purpose vehicles, and 14,600 trucks and buses. Argentina's rapid development has enabled it to participate more and more in the economies of the United States, Mexico, Uruguay and France. From 1990 to 2000, its investment in the automobile industry reached 6.75 billion US dollars. It plays a vital role in South American countries and the world as a whole.
