In Spain, there are sky-high prices on olive oil at the moment also. In most supermarkets recently you will see olive oil with anti-theft devices attached to them or being kept in glass shelves... There at least, the unusually high prices are due to drought/ poor havests and resulting short...

Obviously, they are just putting a positive spin on their own over pricing strategy without saying they are overpriced. In other news, INDEC has spoken. 11% inflation in March (of which 9,4% is core inflation) which with the exception of October, is lowest monthly inflation rate since August 2023.

It is true, and natural, that supermarket prices for many but by no means all items are going back down to more reasonable levels. Just yesterday saw supermarket brand bottles of water on sale for ARS300 - down from ARS1000 just some weeks ago, while just across the aisle a simple pottle of...

HSBC is actually leaving more than 7 countries around the world, including in Europe and Canada, at this moment to focus on Asia in a long announced strategy. Some years ago it also sold its bank in Brazil to Bradesco. Nothing personal with Milei or Argentina for that matter.

NY-Buenos Aires is actually a pretty slim and fluctuating market that is more O&D in nature. Traditionally it never does that well for airlines. United could never make it work for more than a year or so at a time. Delta and American come and go, ramping up and down frequencies from one year (or...

Blast from the past! I remember that prior to 2014 the cubierto charge was literally everywhere you took a seat. Then it seemed to disappear almost overnight as (I imagine) this law required restaurants to actually give clients something in exchange for it, rather than just offering the...

Nothing will physically stop you or your bags not getting on the second leg. However, just be aware airlines (especially those from the US) are increasingly cracking down on this practice ("skiplagging") by putting such passengers on the airline's "no-fly list" as it is a breach of your end of...

It’s worth pointing out that flight tickets originating in Argentina are more than double what they were in 2017/18 in dollar terms. This is due to (a) taxes (b) reduced capacity and (c) FX distortions meaning they are effectively priced in dollars using the blue before being pesified back at...

Anyone here remember MTV show "celebrity death match"? Time to bring it back as "populist death match". Would have about the same depth of meaning and the same, if not more, comedy factor.

What do you want, the nómina of all companies to be public information? A 101 course in labour law and HR practices? Before dismissing facts, you could perhaps qualify your understanding (or selective imagination…) of what you think is happening on the ground? Which sector do you work in and...

The numbers I shared with you are real life examples. Paritarias and agreed wages according to role with unions are legally binding for every single worker and company covered by them, whether you’ve just graduated or not. So of course I some recent graduates earning around/ just above a million...
