Argentina's Real FX is at its lowest level in 4 years
By Juan Carlos Hallak "We all know that the way out is to increase exports. However, all efforts to achieve this are fading with a falling (real) dollar. In fact, we are at the highest point of exchange rate appreciation of the AF era. How can we explain that the official FX is falling?"

Argentina: Economic subsidies report scandalous figures
By Gabriel Caamaño "The evolution of economic subsidies during Q1 2022 is scandalous however you look at it (+125% YoY), but I think it will be much more brutally appreciated this way.

Argentina's inflation: The worse Q1 in 30 years
By Mariano Sanchez Moreno "If #inflation in March is 6.5%, it would close at 15.6% (80% annualized) during Q1-2022. Since '43 (excluding the period from '76 to '91), only 3 years have had worse YTD starts ('45, '59 and '73). Current levels are very similar to Q1-1975, the quarter before the Rodrigazo (85% annualized)." Related dataset [Inflation - Latin America - Alphacast - Consumer Price Index - Headline - Monthly...
Carry Trade: The Return of the King
By Mariano Sanchez Moreno "The carry trade is back, long live the carry trade. Throughout Treasury's auctions we might see that when the rates in pesos were positive after hedging through FX futures (ergo investing in ARS yields USD gains) the FX faced less devaluation pressures. During the lasy weeks, the carry trade helped to “calm down” the dollar, which appreciated by 22% from the peak of ARS 244 at the end of last January. Will this FX peace last? The rate hiking by BCRA turned the spotlight on carry trade strategies, but it is currently offset by both rising futures’ prices and an accelerating inflation. Besides, there is an additional variable that could push-up the depreciation pace of the peso: the BCS’s cost, which is at a 15-month low. That said, it could encourage investors to take advantage of the state of affairs and to wire their USD abroad." Related dataset Financial - Argentina - Carry...
Argentina: On IMF-related interest
By Mariano Sanchez Moreno "Argentina has asked for the IMF to assist it through an Extended Fund Facility (EFF) to pay the previous Stand By Agreement (SBA, signed in 2018). As stated by the Fund in EFF's factsheet the interest burden is the base rate (1.2%) plus a surcharge, which depends on how much is requested and for how long. For large credits (above of 187.5% of each country's quota in the IMF), the surcharge is 2%. If after 51 months the residual loan is still above 187%, the surcharge rises to 3%. That said, the Argentina's EFF represents over 1000% of its quota: for a long time, our country will pay at least 3.2% per year. Taking into account that, the outstanding capital payments of the SBA is meant to be paid with the upcoming EFF credits, both loans' interest must be paid as well. On Jun-26, 51 months after the first EFF disbursements, the rate rises to 4.2%. Meaning? On USD 44bn, for over 12 years, Argentina will have to face interest rates between 3.2% and 4.2%."

Crowding Out | CEA Perspectives
By Centro de Economia Aplicada Perspectives' column for October 2021. This section of the Center for Applied Economics (CEA) of UCEMA offers an analysis of prominent economists, with different orientations about economic problems of our country and the world. The plan to pay off the debt is to grow. The plan to reduce the fiscal deficit is to grow. The plan to lower inflation is to grow. The plan to reduce poverty is to grow. It seems that the solution to everything is economic growth. Unfortunately, we do not grow. The causes of the economic stagnation (to be generous) that has trapped us since 2011 are undoubtedly many, but today I want to focus on one: the lack of credit to the productive private sector. To grow you have to invest. If an entrepreneur wants to invest, he has two paths: he can use his own funds or he can resort to the capital market and obtain funds from third parties. The Argentine capital market is non-existent. According to the World Bank, the market capitalization of all publicly listed companies in Argentina is equivalent to 8.8% of GDP. In Brazil, the market capitalization is equivalent to 68.4% of GDP, in...
