The latest figure meets the promise we measure on this pillar.
What was promised
Order and toughness against crime: 'those who do it, pay for it'. A sustained fall in homicides and crime (pillar 7 of the program).
Where it stands today
Intentional homicide rate of 3.6 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2025 (1,676 victims; 1,613 offenses, rate 3.5): the lowest in the SNIC historical series for the second year running, with the rate falling from 4.4 in 2023 to 3.9 in 2024 and 3.6 in 2025. Robberies: from 464,318 offenses in 2024 to 360,946 in 2025, -22.3% (the rate falls 1002.8 -> 778.1, -22.4%). In the opposite direction, and the report publishes it too: robberies aggravated by resulting injury and/or death rise from 5,709 to 8,293 offenses, +45.3% (rate 12.3 -> 17.9, +45.0%). Femicides, according to the Supreme Court's judicial registry —a different agency, not SNIC—: 200 direct victims in 2025 against 228 in 2024, -12.3%. verif 2025 ↗
External endorsement: The UNODC awarded Argentina grade A for Statistical Quality (2026), the highest rating for criminal-information systems — 124 quality requirements reviewed across 1,438,190 records from the 24 provincial databases. verif 2026 ↗
The historical series
What it is measured against1
The security inheritance: an intentional homicide rate of 4.4 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2023, the last full year before this administration. It is the starting point of the arc this axis publishes —4.4 (2023) → 3.9 (2024) → 3.6 (2025)— and the series is ANNUAL, so the arc runs year to year and not from a November month as in the monthly axes. verif 2023 ↗
The comparison, on its own, does not attribute the change to any particular policy.
Our reading
Trend▲ improving (editorial reading, anchored to the data)
Rule we apply confirms the course
What it enables if sustained thesis
Homicides at an all-time low → the physical-risk premium that operations in Argentina used to pay (insurance, logistics, expatriates) falls → one less invisible cost to invest. R6
Sustained public order → social predictability for decades-long projects (an LNG plant is not built amid blockades) → it complements RIGI's legal security. R6+R2
Rosario as a test: if the State recovers the monopoly on force where it had lost it, the signal counts for the whole map. R6
What we watchA resurgence of drug crime (Rosario is the test) or a growing divergence between the SNIC and the judicial registries/observatories (data quality). Legal and physical security is a condition of the thesis: a deterioration raises the cost of insurance, logistics and talent in the projects.

Which part of this can reach your company?
The pillar shows the economic context. For a company we run a different cross-check: which projects buy what you make, who buys, when that purchase appears and what you would need to prepare to get in.
