The Argentinian Production Minister Francisco Cabrera has stated that he expects some $3.8 billion in investments in local auto-making through 2017. The president of ADEFA, Enrique Alemany, praised the government's decision and said the tax cuts would result in more car models and jobs.

The cut in excise duty will last for six months, after which the Argentinian government will review the impact of the lowered taxes and modify them if it is needed.
