Argentina has a concession fiscal regime introduced by Plan Argentina in 1991. The Ministry of Energy and Minerals (Ministerio de Energía y Minería) awards blocks in licensing rounds. The regime has undergone numerous changes in recent years - removal of export duty in 2020 and its re-introduction in May 2021, deregulation of oil prices and currency exchange, and an increase in the income tax rate. The current administration has taken a more open stance to the upstream market.
