    If the Argentina peso is truly overvalued

    If the Argentina peso is truly overvalued, why is the blue dollar rate lower than CCL, MEP, and Official? Didn't people used to say the Blue rate is the one not manipulated by the government? At the moment of posting the rates are: Blue 1425 CCL 1512 MEP 1475 Official 1463 FYI, Western Union...

    https://www.npr.org/2025/11/14/nx-s1-5609382/argentina-loan-bessent-treasury-bailout Title is a bit misleading as it mostly discusses the 1995 bailout of Mexico before transitioning to Argentina near the end, but it's a good overview of the ESF.

    Argentina and the “Milei–Trump Dollar”

    Looks like Argentina’s economy is back in the headlines. Milei keeps defending a strong peso to control inflation , even if that slows down growth and drains the country’s reserves. And now, surprise: Trump’s government just stepped in to help, buying pesos and offering a $20 billion credit line...

    Netflix or Real Life? The Triple Narco Murder in Argentina

    Have you heard about the triple murder linked to drug trafficking? It honestly feels like a Netflix series. The more details that come out, the creepier it gets: they even live-streamed the torture in a closed Instagram group as a way of saying “this is what happens if you steal our drugs.” Of...

    Uruguay & Argentina got “lucky” in Trump’s tariff roulette — only 10%!

    So… Trump’s new tariff scheme kicked in Friday, and guess what? Uruguay and Argentina somehow ended up in the “low damage” category with just a 10% surcharge. That’s way less than Brazil’s brutal 50%, Canada’s 35%, or even the “standard” 15% that most countries got. Uruguay’s president says 10%...

    Overstay in Argentina: fine, ban, or both?

    Hi everyone, just wondering — does anyone know what happens (hypothetically) to a foreigner who overstays in Argentina by about 5 months, say in 2025? Would they just have to pay the overstay fine (I think it’s around 40,000 pesos), or is there a risk of being banned from re-entering the...
