Argentine problems

Argentina roiled international financial markets with recent decisions. Summary: “The government today announced how it will implement new rules on dollar purchases, a measure that follows its decision to allow the peso to plunge. It claims the moves are astute reactions to “speculative attacks” on Argentina’s economy by destabilizing forces. But analysts argue they are haphazard and foster uncertainty in a country with a history of financial mismanagement and inflationary spirals.”
