Glencore Seeks Incentives for Argentine Copper Projects
Glencore PLC, a leading diversified natural resources company, has taken a strategic step to bolster its operations in Argentina by seeking incentives for its massive copper projects in the region. The company has submitted applications to include two projects with estimated capital expenditure of over $13 billion into Argentina’s investment incentive program, known as RIGI.
This move is expected to have a positive impact on the company’s operations in Argentina, as it will provide a much-needed boost to the region’s economic growth. The RIGI program is designed to attract foreign investment and stimulate economic development, making it an attractive option for companies like Glencore.
Market Performance
Despite the company’s efforts to expand its operations in Argentina, its stock price has been volatile in recent times. The recent close price of 300.8 GBP is lower than its 52-week high, but higher than its 52-week low. However, this volatility is not expected to deter investors, given the company’s significant market capitalization of 45.41 billion GBP.

- Current stock price: 300.8 GBP
