Argentina is in the running along with Chile to be the site of a new datacentre for Amazon.com Inc in South America, according to people familiar with the matter, a sign of President Mauricio Macri’s success in bringing the nation back into the global economy. 

Macri met with Elaine Feeney, Amazon’s vice-president for global infrastructure expansion, in New York late last year. Chile held several meetings with Amazon up through mid-2017, and President Michelle Bachelet visited Amazon’s headquarters during a trip to the US in June. Amazon is still deciding how to proceed and could ultimately end up with sites in both locations, another person said.
