Argentine Economy Minister Luis Caputo ( Luis Caputo ) stated on Wednesday that Toyota Motor will invest $1.34 billion to build a factory in Argentina for the production of all-electric vehicles.

Caputo pointed out that this is the largest single investment in the country's automotive industry to date.

Caputo stated that the project, located in Salat ( Zarate ) within the province of Buenos Aires, has been approved by the government committee responsible for evaluating applications under Argentina's RIGI incentive program for large-scale investments.

He stated that the factory will generate an annual export value of $1.28 billion, with about 70% of the products being sold to overseas markets.

He pointed out that the project will create more than 3,600 jobs during its construction period, and over 2,600 direct and indirect jobs after it begins operations.

This move will expand Toyota's manufacturing footprint in Argentina; the Japanese automaker has been operating a factory there in Salta ( Zarate ) since 1997. Toyota stated that the factory currently produces Hilux pickups and SW4 SUV, and will begin producing Hiace vans in 2024.

34 million businesses in the EU support the economy: Large companies account for only 0.2%, yet they generate nearly half of the added value
Eurostat released the final figures for 2024 structural business statistics on September 30: The EU's business economy consists of approximately 34 million enterprises, employing 164.5 million people including self-employed individuals, with turnover exceeding 38.7 trillion euros and generating a value added of 10.9 trillion euros. What is more noteworthy is not the number of enterprises themselves, but rather their size distribution: Large enterprises with over 249 employees account for only about 0.2% of the total number of enterprises, yet they contribute about 49% of the value added and 37% of employment. The scale effect remains a key to understanding Europe's productivity and competitive landscape.

UK Q2 GDP Revised Up to 0.5% Growth: Consumption Improves, but Recovery Remains Uneven
On September 30, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) in the UK released the final figures for the national accounts for the second quarter, revising the quarter-on-quarter growth rate of real GDP from the preliminary figure of 0.4% to 0.5%. This change indicates that the economic performance in the spring was slightly better than initially estimated, but it does not alter the overall picture of modest growth: the growth rate was 0.6% in the first quarter and slowed slightly in the second quarter; while the services and construction sectors expanded, the production sector contracted slightly. For those observing the UK economy, the sectoral differentiation behind these revised figures is more noteworthy than the additional 0.1 percentage point.
