I should clarify that its not the Argenper office itself that is being refurbished (you are right they finished that refit last year) but rather the crappy little galeria in which it is located.

The main office (in once) has been shut for the last couple of months due to refurbishments, so a lot of traffic gets diverted now to the other branches.

Writing capabilities? Do you mean one must be able to write a coherent sentence or write prose like Charles effing Dickens?

I am an expat and I do not have a maid. I also do not earn a fortune but just so happen to earn my money in dollars. I dont think its bitching to hope that the dollar rate keeps pace with inflation this year.

Looks like the market predicts that the dollar will be around 17 by the end of the year. If that is the case and inflation does reach 30-35% this place will just keep getting more expensive in dollar terms. As an example I reckon a kilo of helado at Freddo will be close to 20 bucks by December...

If inflation really does turn out to be 30% this year, would it be expected that the peso dollar rate would also rise by 30% i.e. finishes around 18 or 19 pesos to the dollar? Logically to me this would make sense but I always sense with economics that I have it all wrong.

Just wondering if things are still as they were or whether anyone has received anything to their door?

It is real expensive at the moment in general and the pound being so low sure doesnt help. Have a look on craigslist, you might find examples of bar jobs etc on there, of course, you will have to be over here first for them to even bother replying to you. good luck.

Can't see it staying at 13.5, would make it overvalued, can see it being closer to 15 in a few weeks. 13.5 makes this place effing expensive.

I was quoted 120 pesos for a pack of 20 ordinary balloons yesterday in Mataderos. I almost foamed at the mouth before politely telling the old buzzard behind the counter that the price was too high for my liking. I can't make head nor tails of it all. This place is already seriously expensive...

Why cant they hold the run off next week or even the week after? But no, 4 weeks!

Polls show a Scioli win seems likely. Surely that is factored in to the current blue price. Unless he wins by a landslide, I cant see the blue getting past 16-17 in the 6 months after the election, let alone 30. Most economists I have read seem to think that the `real`price of dollar is actually...

Wow! How condescending was that!

There are loads out there, the most used, I suspect, is dolarblue.net but funnily enough it hasnt been updated this week.

Count me in.

After the peso rose to over 15 last week, a bunch of economists came out and said that the blue was overvalued and a truer figure would be around 13 (approx 40% diff between the official and blue). I would also love to see a rate of around 20 but I can't see that happening unless Scioli wins by...

Going to be an interesting few months. Seems some of the momentum has shifted away from Macri which may have spooked a few people, who knows. All I know is that if Scioli wins the blue is going to be with us for some time to come.

Used them half a dozen times. As good as Azimo and rates much better. I have used More and Argenper for the payouts this end, More offer a better rate but after a couple of transfers they started demanding copies of my bank statements, payslips and other such crap so I stopped using them and now...

I have a small sum that I would like to invest in the local market. I have zero experience in this kind of thing and wondered if anyone is able to recommend an honest broker for a first timer like myself. Also, if anyone has any links to any useful sites or advice in general then that would also...

No vpn or proxy, never needed that with azimo though either. I sent from my own bank account to myself and picked up at More, you can get slightly better rate with Latina express but the office near me is in a bad part of town so swerved that.
