Same here - there is already a christmas tree in the lobby for the neighbours to start placing gifts for the staff under. The chief portero and two others absolutely refuse to take cash (even when they go way above and beyond in helping out!) but a material gift or kind gesture is much...

Menem had Argentine, Turkish (which he got in 1992) and Syrian (which he got in 1996) passports. Nestor Kirchner’s mother was Chilean - making him Chilean under Chilean law.

Agree, I don't see the political motivation to change anything in any hurry. The more expensive Argentina becomes with a strong peso, the richer Argentines who have a formal job paid in pesos will feel as the last few years of feeling very poor in dollars are still fresh in their minds (even if...

Culturally, most Argentines don't really care about what the law or a contract says - they place more importance on the relationship where both sides try to be fair to each other knowing that in this economy each part will have their ups and their downs. When they feel that this is the case...

If your business plan will focus on local clients, ni hablar, it's all going to be part of the fun of being part of the game. If your business plan will focus on foreign clients, you'd probably be better off setting up a company outside of Argentina and coming here as some kind of digital...

There is one at the Starbucks in San Isidro on Libertador already - in front of an independent café that actually serves good coffee. But bueno, I'm sure it will remind it's Nordelta and surrounds target market of their vacations in Florida.

The advice I received from my lawyers (and indeed a very senior person at Migraciones) years ago was not to go down the path of an investor or rentista visa, just set up my company, register it with migraciones and hire myself by that company so that after renewing the temporary residence for...

Anything is possible. Really depends what kind of business and what kind of ambitions you have… but in general who you know counts far more than what you know in terms of making things happen. Also, forget everything they ever thought you at business school - erase it from your mind - just make...

Is it any surprise that countries with higher wages also generally have higher prices? Swissness aside, the large part of the CHF8 I pay for a coffee in Zurich has to do with the wages of the person pushing the button and passing me the cup and very little to do with the bean. And that barista...

https://tradingeconomics.com/argentina/wages In December 2023 the average wage was ARS 573.000 per month. The official dollar was 788,25 and the dollar MEP was 995. This made the average wage in December 2023 USD 725 (official) and USD 575 (MEP). That means it has increased, in dollars, by more...

https://www.infobae.com/economia/2024/12/09/argentina-tiene-uno-de-los-salarios-pretendidos-en-dolares-mas-altos-de-la-region/ It seems that Argentina has already regained its spot amongst the top of average wages in Latin America according to this published today. "According to a report by...

Was this the same methodology used to count poverty in 2023 and before in Argentina?

https://www.argentina.gob.ar/noticias/la-pobreza-y-la-indigencia-estan-bajando-y-las-proyecciones-revelan-que-terminaran-el-2024 Yet the government published this two days ago. Link to study cited...

But why? Argentines can already use their pesos to buy as many dollars as they want via MEP as simply as logging into their online banking app. The MEP (1048) is now roughly the same as the official (1035). Lifting the CEPO won't suddenly create a stampede to buy "cheap" dollars that does not...

Not quite. In my country the law does not really discriminate between citizens or foreign residents in terms of access to these kinds of things other than for foreigners needing to be a resident (and thus tax payer) for a certain amount of time prior to having access to them in most (but not...

You're spot on, it would be more sustainable than the 1.150.000 Argentines who today pay any kind of income tax versus the 45.000.000ish that don't.

Enough to pay a minimum tax rate on my minimum wage part-time job - which I would consider my fair share for free university education and healthcare that I enjoyed in my country at the time.

I would rather see a policy that simply says if you pay your fair and entire share of taxes in Argentina on your global income and assets, you will have "free" access to these public services. If you don't pay, you don't get them for "free". Health care and education like any service that...

Can only assume that the "hyper-pollution" they are referring to is in the form of dog-sh!t smooshed into the pavement throughout the city at levels seen in few other places in the world. And perhaps the noise in many areas of the city. … aside of course from the slum areas outside the city...
