Argentina: less and less covert war between the provinces and the federal state. While the national executive has drastically reduced transfers of state resources to the provinces.

Several governors have filed legal challenges and one of them even threatened to interrupt oil production. In the second quarter of 2023, the two provinces of Chubut (21.5%) and Neuquén (51.5) provided three quarters of national oilProduction. Argentina is an exporter of crude oil and gas and an importer of refined products.
