Digital reach
Argentina has the higher reported internet-use share
Internet use was 84.46% in Brazil and 89.67% in Argentina, a gap of 5.2 percentage points. National access rates do not measure connection speed, affordability or frequency of use.
Momentum & exposure
Growth and trade answer different questions
