Can anyone point to another case where a country's annual inflation reached 3 digits and was brought back to a single digit in less than a year? The race for or against hyperinflation is still being run and it doesn't make sense to celebrate or condemn the current number until that number of...

For some added context of the audit issue: https://chequeado.com/el-explicador/auditorias-a-universidades-nacionales-quien-debe-controlarlas-y-como-es-el-proceso/ “En la actualidad, la AGN tiene 6 informes en proceso, y en los últimos años solo aprobó 3 informes, de los cuales solo 1 está...

Straight from the “devils” mouth... If one party is asking to increase their budget it seems entirely reasonable to be asked to (a) substantiate the need and (b) be transparent with where the money allocated in said budget is going before such request can be be approved and/ or negotiated...

I understand that you still can't send dollars directly to someone else's bank account from abroad (without some kind of intermediary service offered by some private investment banks etc) without it going through MULC (e.g., forced pesofication at the official rate) due to capital controls, but...

With Santander it is very easy and same day. - Open a Caja de Ahoros in USD (exactly the same name as on your foreign bank account) - Send yourself USD from your foreign bank account online banking - You will receive a notification later that day or the next saying Santander has received the...

Wishful thinking teetering on delusion? CFK is now just one supreme court appeal away from a six-year prison sentence and lifetime ban from public office for just one of her corruption cases...

Not disagreeing, however it is well worth repeating that expats are not and will never be the focus for any Argentine government and do not reflect the reality of most Argentines. No brecha for Argentines and Argentine businesses is a great thing as their pesos, which they earn in, go further...

And they could increase VAT to 100% on the food you buy, they could impose an exit tax, they could automatically tax your WU transfers, they could even tax the air you breathe the next time the government of the day say's "no hay plata"... so if these kind of "ifs" are keeping you awake at...

The ability to actually spend their money- buy (and thus eventually be able to sell...) a house, a car, invest in their business or do something serious with it in Argentina. There is no requirement to keep the money in local banks after it has been declared (only if you want to avoid paying a...

GOL is fine, much better service than say Aerolineas or Flybondi, but if you don't speak Portuguese or Portugñol you may have a difficult time with them in Brazil (the majority of their staff on the ground really do not speak English or Spanish). The airline is firmly geared towards the...

Some changes last week to the government lifting banking regulations affecting dollar bank-bank transfers making it easier to send and receive dollars within the regular banking system. They also removed the requirement to get central bank approval for dollar transactions over $10.000, raising...

I think it depends more on the country of residence you tell the IRS and/ or your bank - if it is listed as "Argentina" then it gets swept up in the automatic data dumps delivered to AFIP. It is in no way a targeted hunt for DNI holders in the US which is after all just one of hundreds of other...

Ojo, from memory the they did ask for a US address to set up the account, can be friends or family, but this can be different to the correspondence mailing address you register which can be anywhere in the world.

It is very easy, or at least for me it was. I have done it myself in California and am not a US citizen. Opened one last year. Make an appointment or walk-in off the street (Chase, USBank, BoA), have an interview with a banker explaining why you need it, fill out the forms, pay the minimum...

Crazy to think that double digit inflation seems "normal" and a welcome relief after almost two years of triple digit inflation. "Just" 60% is like going back to 2019... perhaps by the end of the decade it will be down to single digits as it was pre-2009...

Kidnapping, not really a thing since the early 2000s. Violence on the street, most commonly in conjunction with robbery, can and does happen like anywhere but also not as bad as say Brazil or Colombia and risk can be reduced by sticking to nicer areas and applying common sense. “Targeted”...
