Macri comes from an economic class that arose after WWII in Argentina and his family had strong interests in construction and automobiles. The current administration can be seen as a coalition unwilling to accept the dominance of the Kirchnerite wing of the Peronist party. The government takes a more orthodox economic approach compared to previous administrations. Argentina has significant mineral resources like lithium, gold, silver, and uranium. Major mining companies are ramping up projects for commercial production of lithium and potash. The mining market fell into obscurity during Kirchner's long rule but has potential to reemerge as foreign investment and listings on the Argentine stock exchange return.
