What a interesting and funny comment
Nobody, ever, in the history of Argentina, has gone to prison for buying USD at Cuevas. It's the most legal illegal activity. It is literally done by everyone, including cops, judges, politicians.
If the goverment really enforced that law, that would make the country explode in a social and economic crisis (Im from argentina)
It is a business in which politicians are involved. They are just politicians, known for corruption. That's why there is no jail for buy usd in exchanges.
Economy? It doesn't matter. They keep their own business.
The currency? Neither. Only if the face of Benjamin is in the bill.
Our currency is a lie.
No es legal ni está regulada, no presenta ningún tipo de comprobante por transacción y no es aceptado como origen y licitud de fondos en entidades bancarias. Por algo se le dice mercado informal o "Cueva".

@@skylex157 En ningún momento dije que eso pasara, tampoco que haya redadas porque verías gendarmes en cada calle con tantas cuevas.

The system is failing as a result of both government and federal policy. In the next days, the banking crisis would have to be epic and gigantic for the FED to decide not to raise interest rates. This won't happen; an increase and a crash are coming. There will be more negative portfolios this 2nd half of 2024 with markets tumbling, soaring inflation, and banks going out of business. My concern is how can the rapid interest-rate hike be of favor to a value investor, or is it better avoiding stocks for a while?Read more
Just ''buy the dip'' man. In the long term it will payoff. High interest rates usually mean lower stock prices, however investors should be cautious of the bull run, its best you connect with a well-qualified adviser to meet your growth goals and avoid blunder
Very true, you can be passively involved in the markets and still amass wealth-gains using an investment advisor. I first dabbled in stocks late 2019, just before the pandemic, and that same year gained over 150% with no prior investing experience, basically all I was doing was following directions of my advisor. We are working on a retirement ballpark of $3m and I’m certain my goal isn’t farfetched after subsequent investments and tremendous returns so far.
Mind if I ask you to recommend this particular coach you using their service?
Sonya lee Mitchell is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
thank you for the lead. I searched her up, and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.
Treasury rates are rising quickly, the markets are collapsing, inflation is skyrocketing, and the Fed is imposing a significant interest rate hike-all of which will result in further losses for portfolios this quarter. How can I take advantage of the present market volatility? I'm still undecided about whether to sell my $125,000 worth of bonds and stocks.
The strategies are quite rigorous for the regular-Joe. As a matter of fact, they are mostly successfully carried out by pros who have had a great deal of skillset/knowledge to pull such trades off.
Yes, I've been in constant touch with a Financial Analyst for approximately 8 months. You know, these days it's really easy to buy into trending stocks, but the task is determining when to sell or keep. That's where my manager comes in, to help me with entry and exit points in the industries I'm engaged in. Can’t say I regret it, I’m 40% up in profits just in 5months with my initial capital of $160k.
I work with Alicia Ann Jordan, a licensed fiduciary. Simply look up the name. The information you need to work with a letter to schedule an appointment would be included.
This is a scam for anyone wondering

I'm argentinean and let me tell you NO ONE goes to jail for buying dollars in the black market, everyone knows about it and no one does anything against it. So there is no such "risk" as you said
You can actually ask the police where are the arbolitos (blue dollar dealers) and they will help you out...
There are police officers guarding the dealers 😅
I even know of a couple of "exchange houses" that have a direct alarm to the police station as a security method...

@@brankobelfranin8815 Welcome to Argentina!!
There’s a saying in economics: there are four kinds of economies - developed, underdeveloped, Japan and Argentina. No one knows how Japan continued to grow. No one knows why Argentina can’t.
My first thought is the Resource Curse, right now, Argentina has China buying up its mining resources while they steal the fish from its EEZ.
I know why Argentina doesn't grow: Peronismo/Kirchnerismo.
Everybody knows why Argentina’s economy doesn’t grow. The real puzzle is why it doesn’t shrink (much).
@@jackjones4824 Pfft! Mr. Genius, the saying about the four kinds of economies is meant as a joke. Did you really think that economists actually believe that Japan's economy will always keep growing significantly year-on-year, or that they don't know how it grew in the modern age?
@@jackjones4824 Sorry about the snarky comment! But why are you providing "clarifications" where none are required? The saying is a joke, and the OP meant it as a joke. Why then are you taking it literally and then nitpicking over it? Can't we just chuckle and move on?
Managing Money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times, while orders tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too.
John Desmond Heppolette has been instrumental in helping us achieve financial stability and save for retirement. With his guidance, we earned over 220K during a market dip, revealing the market's complexity. Having an investment adviser, especially for those at risk of losses, is currently the wisest choice...
I found your coach online easily and researched him before our call. His online resume indicates knowledge and expertise.
Thanks to Sir John Desmond Heppolette, my investments have flourished. However, the ultimate determinant is the amount of capital you invest. A significant starting budget increases the potential for higher gains.
I also found his impressive resume on Google. It feels like a blessing to have come across this comment section.
John Desmond Heppolette, is considered the best course of action, particularly for those who are at risk of making losses. It implies that professional advice and guidance can be valuable in navigating the complexities of financial markets and making informed investment decisions.
i'm argentinean, and watching this makes me think how easily we get used to inflation and corruption. prices get higher every month (and it's an overstatement).
what bothers me the most is that most of us do not support this, obviously, but the people in power always take the chance to make it worse, and it's been like this for too many years. i hope that now things can be different.
Problem is in the Argentine people. Keep voting populist, Peronist governments because they want handouts and don't take corruption and poor government seriously. The DNA of the average Argentinian and therefore leaders is live today don't worry about tomorrow. Party first work later. Every country is a reflection of its population and culture.

I thinks it’s important to clarify that the 200 USD limit is actually only available for a very small number of people. There are dozens of ‘exceptions’ that make it almost impossible for anyone to have access to the acquisition of USD. For example, if your employer received any sort of financial aid from the government during the pandemic, then you are banned from buying dollars. The limit also includes any kind of digital subscription or service you may hire. Like Netflix or Disney plus (they all count towards your 200 usd limit) same if you want to buy a video game or a product from abroad (if you want to, say buy a pair of shoes or a pair of jeans from abroad, you have to pay over 50% in taxes (and that’s not including the almost 70% they charge you for using USDs)
😢😢😢why these rules ?????
@@ana8908Because without them, they can't take that money from us. Saddly that's what our state is, a big thief.
I went to Agentina in 2008 and the currency was stable at 4:1 USD: Argentine Peso and they had similar policies in place then. The IMF has turned Argentina into a debt colony where the only possible solution the government has is to print money. Austerity and liberalization has completely collapsed the official Argentine economy and made it impossible to rebuild. The reason you cant buy foreign goods with argentine pesos is because of import restrictions imposed by the imf
@@psrabe7444 I am from Argentina and can tell you that the IMF is not the problem, we are the problem since the IMF is not doing that to Peru, Chile, or many other countries, to fix something you'll need first to understand the problem. And that is where most Argentinians fail.
@@psrabe7444 The IMF put no conditions to our country, the fiscal deficit came when the budget of our country was reduced thanks to the decreasing prices of our agroexport products. And since our goverment never saved not even one dollar in the time we had a commercial superavit.
Even more so, the spending of our goverment increased, while we had a smaller budget to paid for it.
We ended the last goverment of Cristina with a financial default over the negotiation, or lack of it, with the debt owners arround the world.
That's why Mauricio Macri goverment took the loan with the IMF, to pay those people so our country could ask for money again.
I personally think that it didn't help our country either, because we asked for more money than we actually needed, but that's another topic.
We have one goverment after the other, and they all spend more wealth than what our country creates, which is imposible to maintain.
We need a goverment that stop lieyng to our people and that stop the spending machine that only works for our political class to steal to our people, even more so to the people who have the least resources, it's a shamefull and disgracefull tactic to gain leverage from our people, making a big part of our country literal economic slaves of our corrupt leaders.
As an Argentinian I would like to ad some more context.
1)We have a very big public jobs problem, most of the jobs in Argentina that are formal employment are public in dead end none productive work, (like having 15 secretaries for the manager of the counselor of the cousin of the politician in charge of some invented minister).
2) Most of the actual productive jobs are in the informal market due to different reasons like irrational amount of taxes not only to business also to workers (even cashiers need to give 50% of their salary in taxes), business exploitation, and in some cases the lack of proper schedules in colleges about students that also need to work.
3) We have some many taxes at nacional, estatal, regional and municipal level that even some workers from the tax administration unofficially support tax evasion in low income self employed workers.
4) Education gets worst each year, most student can't understand basic text even after secondary educational level, 50% of students fail the test entrance to engineering school (the test is about basic physics and math from secondary education) and from the other 50% that enters a 25% drops from college in 6 months, and this applies for most engineering and science careers resting a lot of aggregated value jobs.
5) Bureaucracy in Argentina make the German one blush, we have to much paper work, paying so many permit and waiting in some cases even years that a lot of people abandon projects and decide to invest outside.
6) Syndicates in Europe are a charm compare to Argentinians one, they force workers to join, paralice supplies chains, start riots and extortion both company and workers, they behave like an enforcers of some landlords.
7) People decide to buy dollars in the informal market due to a very 2 important reasons, first you can't draw a single dollar banknote from your account if you buy it legally, and second we have something call it "corralito" in which the government froze money draw from every bank account and can turn your dollar savings into peso savings make it "legally" without asking you first.
There are soooooooo much more to mention, the problem is, it would take and entire semester of "what not to do meanwhile running and economy" subject
Sounds like Canada on steroids.
This is a specific question but what percentage of Argentines do you think invest in stocks/ETFs ? Is there a culture of investing in your country ?
Why people do not consider buying gold, to protect against the inflation?
@@alanmrsic893 Because it's the same here as the dollar, you can buy it legally from the bank but you can't take it back to home with you, it remains in the bank at the risk of being changed into pesos by order of the government, also if you buy it from a second hand like a jewel store they gonna give you ridiculous prices of buy/sale.
that's so unfortunate. thanks for sharing
My greatest concern is how to recover from all these economic and global troubles and stay afloat especially with the political power tussle going on in US.
Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over $250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.

I'm Turkish and I've known about Argentina for over a decade since me and my friends were using Argentinian websites to purchase online games and services because their regional prices have been cheaper than European prices. Recently Turkey has also fallen into the same inflation spiral as Argentina and the reasons are very similar: untrusted government, decades of bad monetary policies and printing more money etc. Its really depressing to be a part of such a system. I've met many amazing Argentinian friends and I hope Argentinians can recover from this eventually. much love
The reason is a debt with the IMF take it but a non Peronist president
Turkey was placed under sanctions, it had nothing to do with printing money.
Same but pakistan
We had hyperinflation in Mexico for several years until the central bank got complete independence from the government. It was a nightmare for populist politicans but it worked surprisingly well until now.
Yep, and people still hating those who ended the hyperinflation and their method. FOBAPROA, Autonomy, Privatization, Salinas and Zedillo are words that invoke the devil. But those words represent the end of an era that brought hyperinflation, public/foreign debt, etc. It was a traumatic end that destroyed the old political regime and still we have not have finish processing the trauma.
There should not be a central bank. It can only do harm
Same in Brazil
@@felipejnntbut the current populist government in Brazil is against it
Socialist governments use central banks to implement ever more socialism through inflation.
Listening this in English makes me think about how we normalized all this problems like it has been always like this. I'm 30 and I don't know how it's like to live without inflation. I really hope I get to live at least a couple of years of stability... Someday...
durísimo tu comentario, y comparto, nunca viví una vida sin inflación
Yo también, casi 30 y todos los días de mi vida siempre escucho que estamos peor, incluso mí papá se encontraba en situaciones difíciles durante Menem y los Kirchner, con miedo y depresión. Y ahora mismo, yo leo como otros paises de Europa y Asia están mucho mejor y me hace querer vivir allá o que acá pueda parecerse mas a ellos.

Ustedes los argentinos necesitan aprender de Brasil. En los años 90, Brasil pasó por una inflación horrible como la que está pasando Argentina ahora. El ministro Fernando Henrique Cardoso creó una nueva moneda y puso fin a la inflación, se hizo tan popular que poco después llegó a la presidencia.

La mejor decision que tomaron en sus vidas.
Never to late to move back.
I lived in Argentina on and off for decades and I can attest that Argentines have simply given up any hope of a future. The brightest and most ambitious of its young people are emigrating.
I can confirm what you say. There are never ending lines in consulates with people trying to get european nationalities. Most of them are either trying to live a better life or they want their sons to live a better life. It's so sad to see most of the people work their butts off to earn just enough money to survive until the next paycheck. Saving money is for a select few. Saving in pesos is losing money and no one is allowed to purchase any foreign currency legally so you´re literally hopeless people are forced to spend their money in order to not lose it.
I said all of that before watching the video. And yet I can see some mistakes. Official exchange is 360 pesos, but there´s no one that can buy that. You have to add a "couple" taxes that are called "impuesto pais", "impuesto a las ganancias" and "impuesto a los bienes personales". All of them add up for a 90% extra. That´s why people don´t even thint about selling their dollars to the central bank. You buy 200 dollars legally (in case you can, theres a lot of barriers to do so, a lot of excuses to not sell them) you pay 670 pesos per dollar. If you go to the bank to try to sell them they give you 360 pesos per dollar, sane happens to foreigners. If they come here and want to exchange their currency, they have to resort to the black market, otherwise they lose a lot of money. There's no incentive to put any money in this economy.
Brightest? More like spoiled brats with rich parents
And yet the college kids in the USA want this.
They are so brain dead they think socialism is awesome. That government control is awesome. USA college kids aren’t too bright.
I've lived on Argentina my whole life, and i can attest to the fact that this is simply not true, or at the very least not entirely correct. Furthermore, this whole video is pretty much a complete sham, and very badly researched. Argentine politics are far more complex and than it's shown on the video.
As for people leaving the country, fair. A lot of people are, mostly people with money. But please don't go around implying that most professionals are prone to leave the country.
The disillusionment of the youth is nothing more than a tool from politicians to make us believe we have less value as a country than we do. To make us think that we should sell ourselves, be a colony of a country like the US. And it's working, plenty of young people think like this, and hate their own country despite it being not as bad as they are led to believe.
And yet, most professionals tend to eventually understand that they won't belong anywhere else the way they do here; It's not the same to say you *wish* you'd leave your own country, than to actually go ahead and do it and learn a different language and culture. Simply not that many people are willing to do so. Specially not people who don't have more money than most.
All of this I say from the point of view of a young, well studied citizen of Buenos Aires slightly below what would be considered middle class. Born and raised in Argentina. Never even stepped in different country. Please, even if you've lived here: don't pretend to speak for me or those like me.
It's just unbelievable how they totally overlooked the fact that Argentina's foreign debt skyrocketed under the military dictatorship of Videla in 1976, surging from $4.6 billion to a staggering $25.6 billion - an increase of over five times. This dramatic rise in foreign debt during that period had long-lasting economic consequences for the country. It was the military regime who played a pivotal role in shaping the country's financial challenges that persist to this day.
This!! Thank you so much to point out this
They never intended to pay it back
It's an English channel, obviously they won't tell about it...

The Argentina economy relies on ongoing credit and debt generation for sustenance. The Federal Reserve is expected to increase the money supply, leading to further debt accumulation for the average Argentinean. Meanwhile, foreign nations continue to desire the U.S. dollar, despite their own economies facing significant challenges, some even worse than that of the U.S. This situation raises concerns about who will ultimately bear the consequences of these economic dynamics.
They do say gold will crash in a liquidity crunch However, many of those holding precious metals are preparing for such an event. So they are unlikely to be forced sellers. The paper market would tank and hopefully collapse.
I wholeheartedly concur, which is why I appreciate giving an investment coach the power of decision-making. Given their specialized expertise and education, as well as the fact that each and every one of their skills is centered on harnessing risk for its asymmetrical potential and controlling it as a buffer against certain unfavorable developments, it is practically impossible for them to underperform. I have made over 1.5 million dollars working with an investment coach for more than two years.

Superb video. Straight to the point with facts and information. Pleasure to watch unlike other videos which ramble on and take a long time to get to the point.
To give you some perspective, this video was uploaded a month ago and is pretty accurate on 2023-09-27 the value of the Illegal dollar was $763. Now a month later this value is $960, an increase of %25. In Argentina, prices are somewhat based on this value and for that reason, for us now simply buying anything is an investment just because you know tomorrow the price of that will rise but your salary will not.
I got to Argentina in 2021ish and the rate was about 250, I immediately exchanged around 5000 dollars worth of pesos all while my argentine friends were laughing at me, they said the rate is definitely going to go up and I said maybe it will go down. Rn I just exchanged 100 dollars for 920 a dollar. I dont think the situation will change anytime soon and it will only get worse depending on the new president.

When they equalised the Peso with the US dollar back in 90's also including the heavy debt due to the war with the UK in the 80's that's when the troubles began. On mass people lost their savings with the banks, that did a runner with the peoples money. I was there in 2003 and was able to see for myself what was happening to the economy. A lot of Argentineans who have historic ties with Spain, by parentage and blood, took advantage of the new law in Spain called the historical memory law to give them the right to apply for Spanish citizenship thus allowing them to leave Argentina legally for Spain to make a new life.

The last sentence from the grocery store owner was so reflective of the situation: ‘I don’t think thing will get better’. In macroeconomics, expectations of inflation is no less important than the inflation rate itself. When there’s no trust in the central bank effectiveness, Argentineans are living but also manifesting their worst dream.
underrated comment. The belief in money in itself is a confidence game.
Thats bs and ignorant comment.
they keep printing money and turning it into toilet paper. for many years So how can you believe in your money if you see it is burnning in your hands.
the man meant all politicians are the same and they wont stop printing money so things will not get better
It's hard to have any hope when the central bank is tied to the goverment itself with a leash, the current economic minister can just turn on the money printer and wreck everything, as they have done for the last 20 years or so.
The cycle goes thus : get 2000000 public employees you can't afford to pay, raise taxes, money is still not enough> turn on the printer to finance yourself with freshly emitted currency>devaluation/inflation happens>raise taxes again>people demand better salaries because devaluation ate the value of their bills>raise salaries>turn on printer to pay those higher salaries.
Nobody wants to stop this because it would mean paying the political cost of having to fire a bunch of people from mostly "do nothing" jobs, and so the money printer goes BRRR once again.
That's always be an argentinian thing, we always expect the worst since our economy never gets better 🤷♀️ we have a saying "Is bad but it could be worse"

I love the people, the culture, the food, the language, and the beauty of the countryside. I feel sad for the people who struggle to get by. Th government combines equal doses of incompetence and corruption. Chile and Uruguay, to the west and east of Argentina, respectively, are largely stable, with low levels of corruption and poverty. Argentina seems cursed to live in perpetual crisis.
Un chorri un voto loco!
Chile an Uruguay never got the Peronismo virus, they were lucky. There is no vaccin against that.
Probably karma for the Black and indigenous population that were annihilated with gen0cide 💯
Cursed because of their historical crimes, but Argentines think they're better than the rest of South America 🤣

My fellow Americans: A glimpse of our future in 10-20 years if we don't get our spending under control. If the dollar wasn't the world's reserve currency we would already be seeing this. A growing deficit with a growing economy is a VERY bad signal.
Socialism and Communism destroys the economy every time its tried. We need to return to capitalism, a small government and what our founding fathers created in the US Constitution.
You are right. We are already seeing big inflation due to the Democrats’ love of spending. The same happened with Dem President Carter.
An economy propped up by a digital currency is not one built on a solid foundation.
So end the waste humans. Theres no government, religion, healthcare or security outside of fiction.

Many in South America think they have nothing to lose as they are poor. This state of mind is a sort of addiction that gives you a false high when actually you are in misery. They do not care about death and that makes them stop living as there is no purpose. People are seriously insecure about losing this status. They are worried like, "What will happen to me if I come out of poverty?" The answer is you will start living your life with body, soul and spirit. After which death does not matter to you. Or, who knows? You can live a happy life and still live longest like many all around the world do these days!
This is heartbreaking. If you visit Argentina its truly a beautiful country and the people are lovely. It seems unfair that the political class can do this
I agree. But they’re also voting for these people
@@codycastNo more peronists, Javier Milei easily will win the elections.
Patricia Bullrich started as a peronist and had close ties to the "montoneros" militia, many of the same politicians behind the two main political parties are the same ones who destroyed the country and never leaved the State.
Both political parties were damaging the justice system as well, one of the main goals of Milei's government is to reduce the number of ministers and give total independance to the justice system unlike how it is right now.

In 2000, I moved from India to New York for work. There I met an Argentinian for the first time in my life. She was my banker Teresa. Since we were both immigrants in a foreign country, we got talking about where we both came from. That was the first time I heard the word conundrum. That’s how she had described her country. She had said that the conundrum of Argentina is that it has super bright people who can’t seem to run their country. I have always followed the Argentina story since then because I had always found it so intriguing. It is really such a pity that things have not gotten better there even after 23 years.

the more i hear about the situation in argentina the more i think chainsaw boi might have a point.
Argentina's economy struggles with deep-rooted mismanagement, leading to hyperinflation, heavy debt, and a lack of trust in government and markets.
Argentina’s number one industry is corruption. They don’t call it that but that it certainly is. Imagine, if you can, a visitor to NY checking in to a first class hotel, asking the desk agent to please change her currency into dollars at a rate double or triple the prevailing number. This is done routinely in Argentina with no attempt to obscure it. The cost of goods is quoted as two wildly different numbers. One, that day’s value in Pesos, and two, a price in dollars far cheaper for the American visitor than the official conversion rate.
During a six week period of visiting Argentine, which I really loved, the reason became clear. In October, a beautiful leather jacket would be immediately quoted at half price when I pulled out dollars. I went to other parts of South America, returning to Argentina to the day one month later, in November. In that 31 day period, the official value of the peso had dropped by half! Of course venders want to be paid in dollars. A dollar is an INVESTMENT in an economy with such inflation.
I felt like I was cheating the absolutely beautiful people I met there when in fact they recognized me with gratitude on my return, as my purchase had made them a 100% gain in 31 days. That is unsustainable and bringing the nation to ruin.
We know we live in the United States

USA control. IMF is USA's tool to directly influence emerging economies around the world to take policies that favor the US.
If it benefits the US, they will find a way to lend to questionable local leaders, so later they have the whole country's economy hostage. The ransom is "do it our way or crash in chaos", so the country is obligated to comply with US favoring policies for decades.
As an Argentinean, you know things have hit a low so deep you can't crawl out of it due to inflation the moment the people give up using pesos and switch to a bartering system. This especially in poor and rural areas like Tierra de Fuego.

I visited Argentina in 2015 and the "blue dollars" traders openly announced their service. The same happened in Brazil for a long time (late 70s until early 90s). There's something I've only seen in Argentina, though: official institutions forging national statistics like, for instance, inflation.
It happens in Turkey too. They try so hard to show official inflation lower than the real inflation so that they don't have to increase the wages according to real values.

Hi, thanks for showing our problems to the rest of the world, i'm argentinian, and right now i'm crying, i've been crying for a long time now, waking up everyday knowing how polititians fill their pocket at our expenses, and give the rest of us some pittance just to live through the month, and we can't dare to fight this system, because the truly poor people that live like this can't afford to take a chance on a new government.
FYI, it's widely accepted by the public that our last 2 presidents, Mauricio Macri and Cristina Fernandez have stolen most of the US dollars reserve in our country, and that most of the money borrowed from the IMF has been sent off-shore by polititians.
Argentina doesn't have a powerful military, so you would think by now we as people should be rioting everyday, but we can't because polititians are in cahoots with the various workers unions around the country and they are the ones calling the shots.
cheers everyone!
I have an Argentinian friend in Cordoba. He lived in LA for a while and created a US software company and gets paid in US dollars. He and his family live really well, employ a lot of locals, the countryside is really beautiful, I'd never felt so welcome in a place when I visited. I was thinking about hiring some Argentinian programmers for my business and live down there during the Northern Hemisphere winter and build a cabin ( Bariloche is gorgeous) and keep my US base station for financial/tax purposes. Could be fun. A win win. I'd need an Argentinian girlfriend to improve my Spanish. . :)
Well, I'm studying a career called "Licenciatura en Sistemas" which it's similar to "Systems engineering". I'm currently in my second year of college, but if you need a programmer you can contact me 😂.
It's not a "trust issue", it's a technical issue. Brazil had gigantic inflation for decades. Within ONE MONTH of the implementation of the Real Plan, inflation was controlled and purchasing power rose. In two years, the population in extreme poverty fell by 18.47%. In 1994 inflation in Brazil was 2,075.89%, in 1996 it was 15.76%.
Real Plan was resisted for technical reasons. A policy of these characteristics has a technical and a political side as it really needs to recompose public trust in the monetary institutions. Many other plans similar to Real Plan have failed or have been short-lived. At the time of the implementation of Real Plan, Argentina had another policy, similar in many aspects to Plan Real, that kept inflation extremely low for almost a decade (Convertibilidad), at the cost of producing the greatest crisis in the country
@@pippo1734 that's kinda wrong. Convertibilidad failed because it was implemented in Argentina, so we kept spending more money than we were earning. This deficit was then covered by taking more loans, until the debt became extremely huge and impossible to repay.
Is a political corruption problem
@@tachy635 That's it.
It is also a trust issue. The world doesn't trust Argentina. No company or start up, nor even their citizens,except for those that got benefited by the government through either welfare such as the poor, or throught subsidy such as some hand-picked companies of the government. Which are often friends and family
Its worth clarifying that there's effectively zero risk of legal repercussions for trading currency in the 'black' market, since it's not enforced at all.
Yea, I chucked at the beginning of the video with the faces being blurred and everything. What a joke. Everyone buys pesos on the black market openly.
Yes, The Economist is truly way off here, and it's the first thing they say in this video. I immediately looked to see if the video perhaps was years old, but it's pretty recent. Changing USD to Peso and vice versa is as normal as buying a carton of milk. Amazed how misinformed The Economist is here.
I have been visiting Argentina twice a year from 2005 and NEVER had an issue changing dollars.
In midst of all this mess, Argentina still opted out from BRICS. I'm questioning if their lawmakers want to have a stable economy.
Brazil ended hyperinflation in 1994, so the younger generation of Brazilians can't understand the real size of Argentina's problem. We were also lucky because Getúlio Vargas (the Brazilian Perón) didn't make such a big impression on the political debate here. It's sad to see such an important economic partner in this situation. I would say that a common problem between Argentina and Brazil is excessive protectionism - we have very few trade agreements with other countries.
Brazuca querido, como van con Lula? Estás conforme con él? Milei seguramente sea presidente, y el tipo dijo varias veces que mientras Lula sea presidente va a cortar lazos con Brasil 😔
@ebyanmapper2058 Both Lula and the former president Jair Bolsonaro are weak rulers. Both have strong support of about 30% of voters while the rest hate both.
As a result the power shifted to the House of Representatives, and they only care about their self interest.
I predict that public spending will skyrocket, as each deputy will have millions at their disposal to transfer to their constituencies.

@@ebyanmapper2058actually things have improved quite a lot since Lula got elected. Pov: I'm an Economist. Beijos querida
The problem isn't protectionism, it's the dependent position of the economy in the global market. Look up teoria da dependência, especially the work of Furtado, Tavares and Marini.
We (Brazilians) were able to solve our chronich inflation with the Plano real, then the commodity boom and the re-organization of the economy from Lula one.

I've heard political commentators say that it's not a secret the pain that such changes will cause if implemented. The issue is when a candidate does make that proposal, another candidate sees that as an opportunity to state that under their stewardship it won't be necessary. That candidate usually wins and the economic changes never get implemented. But boy how profitable $$$ their tenure!!!
No one goes to work and government keeps printing money. That's way.
It's truly disheartening that I can't freely choose to remain in my home country because of its deteriorating situation, with the love I have for my people and culture.
What's even sadder is that this lack of hope isn't limited to just the adults, who have endured various crises and horrifying violent events. Even the youth among us are gripped by despair; we live in constant fear, plagued by insecurity and uncertainty.
And it's all the more heartbreaking when we consider the countless people who don't have the opportunity to leave for a country with better governance.

The dumbest thing anyone ever said.
Some group of economists have projected that both the U.S and parts of Europe could slip into a recession for a portion of 2023. A global recession, define as a contraction in annual global per capita income, is more rare because china and emerging markets often grow faster than more developed economies. Essentially the world economy is considered to be in recession if economic growth falls behind population growth.
My major concern now is how can we generate more revenue during quantitative times? I can’t afford to see all my savings crumble to dust.
It’s a delicate economical season, so you can do nothing or little on your own. Hence, I will suggest you get yourself a financial advisor that can provide you with valuable financial information and assistance.
That’s why I always make it a point to speak with a financial advisor before choosing any investments. Apparently , I’ve been using one since the pandemic, using profits oriented tactics and minimizing risks as a buffer against inevitable downtrends.

@@boulderbash19700209 The black market here is runned by people who buy and people who sell, there are no intromision of the banks, mosly because the banks cant touch a big part of the pesos and dollars they have in deposits after 2001 crisis, its forbidden (it's called "encaje"). They must give it to federal reserve but can keep a low % of total deposits for daily operations.
Black market is not legal, but its common as a lot of illegal things here....
The official rate is declared by the government here... as the other 20 rates of the same currency they have for any kind of bussiness. You can check it in the video, dollar qatar, coldplay, soja, credit card, MEP, CCL (wich is the one that follow the black market), and long list of different prices for the same dollar (or any currency)
There's an issue in your argument. The goverment controls who can bought the official dolar, and only that one can buy 200 hundred dollars, but buying that amount of dollars, that one can't imports products. All the banks must deposite the dollars on the Argentina's Central Bank.
I'm in awe after watching this! I feel so proud of argentinians and their resillience. They have all they need to get better and despite all the continuous setbacks I deeply know Argentina will always be the best country in the world. Wish everyone of us world citizens could learn from such incredible people as they are. Greetings from Almagro!
