BUENOS AIRES, Dec 18 (Reuters) - Argentina's carmaking industry will likely see a production increase of about 8% in 2025, compared to output this year, while auto exports should grow by around the same level, data from the sector's ADEFA association showed on Wednesday.

ADEFA forecasts that domestic auto sales should reach about 500,000 units next year, or up by about 21% compared to sales this year.

The association estimates that domestic auto production will reach 545,000 units next year while exports will total 324,000 units. (Reporting by Eliana Raszewski; Editing by Stephen Coates)

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
