Economy
of Argentina
Argentina is very
famous for there nature resources, they
have heavy range of of petroleum, energy
recourses, floors, also copper, zinc,
gold; it has been suffering from recurring
economic problems in the past decade.
From the late 1970s the country piled
up public debt and was plagued by bouts
of high inflation. In 1991, the government
pegged the peso to the U.S. dollar and
limited the growth in the money supply.
It then embarked on a path of trade
liberalization, deregulation and privatization.
Inflation dropped and gross domestic
product grew, but external economic
shocks and failures of the system diluted
benefits, causing the economy to crumble
slowly from 1995 until the collapse
in 2001. The situation by 2006 was further
improved. The economy grew 8.8% in 2003,
9.0% in 2004, 9.2% in 2005 and 2006
was on the same track (predictions are
between 8.5% and 9.0%), though inflation,
estimated at around 12 to 15% (official
numbers are 9.8% for 2006), has become
an issue again, and income distribution
is still considerably unequal.
