It’s ironic, isn’t it? We were told that freeing the market and letting the peso float would “fix” everything. Yet here we are , with an overvalued peso hurting one of our most iconic exports: beef. This isn’t just about numbers. It’s about thousands of jobs in the meat industry, less foreign...

Best of luck with your home purchase, wishing you all the best! We bought our property a few years ago, so I’m not completely up to date on the most recent legal changes or USD transfer processes. That said, one thing that hasn’t changed is that your notary (escribano) will likely require proof...

Darín’s message was crystal clear, he wasn’t literally talking about empanadas, he was pointing out how expensive everything has gotten. Honestly, it seems like Caputo failed reading comprehension, because his sarcastic response felt totally unnecessary. What’s even more concerning is this idea...

There's a book fair at Parque Centenario, right next to the Natural Sciences Museum, where you can find old books. It’s a great spot, I’ve found some interesting titles there. Definitely worth a visit!

Basic food items like eggs have increased significantly in price. In fact, many stores are speculating on this and have stopped selling 30-egg trays , they’re only selling by the half dozen until prices stabilize. Inflation is definitely coming, and prices will likely continue to rise...

The economic situation is definitely complex, but calling it a Corralito 2.0 seems exaggerated. Unlike 2001, banks today hold much higher levels of dollar reserves, and deposits are mostly backed in cash rather than government bonds. The demand for physical dollars is a response to uncertainty...

I'm not sure what this study is based on, but I don't think that's the case. The situation is quite difficult, with nearly half of the population living in poverty. Many people are struggling with depression and financial hardships.

I have a local friend who unexpectedly had her fridge break, so she had to rush out to buy a new one. The technician told her it was better to buy a new one rather than repair it due to the cost of the spare parts. Since this had a big impact on her finances, she decided to buy it in 12...

I was talking about this with my nephew, and he mentioned that Discord is a great option because the audio and video quality during calls is much better, and it offers screen sharing with good resolution. The downside is that it's not widely used in the corporate world. If you need something...

It’s not just a protest march for retirees, it’s a demonstration in their defense. That’s why people of all ages join. But after what happened last time, I don’t think many will show up.

It's incredible the bipolarity of this guy. Luckily, the archive exists. Just a few years ago, he praised him nonstop, saying that Cavallo was the best economy minister in Argentina's history, and now it turns out that the same person is a disgrace. It's almost funny! What’s not funny is that he...

Yes, you're right! From what I've read, 1,600,000 is the baseline, but that number is ridiculous. A typical family with those earnings can't really be considered middle class. That's why I say the numbers don't reflect reality, what really matters is what's in people's pockets. It's hard to deny...

I totally agree with what you're saying. It seems like the cost of living in Argentina has definitely increased, and it's not just tourists who are feeling it. I recently read that Argentina has the most expensive Big Mac in Latin America, and it's soon to surpass Switzerland, where the most...

Brown sugar can also be referred to as "azúcar mascabo" or "azúcar negra." Unfortunately, you'll have to experiment with different types to find the one that suits your needs best. Non-chain dietéticas often have more natural products. As for the brown sugar you find in supermarkets and some...

Even something as basic as clothing is much more expensive here. Tourists are often shocked by this. https://www.infobae.com/economia/2024/12/11/no-compren-ropa-en-buenos-aires-el-video-viral-de-tres-turistas-que-recomiendan-evitar-el-shopping-por-los-altos-precios/
