El País: The recession in Argentina will be the largest among the G20 countries

[Renzi]

Only about 2% separates the UK and Argentina. Does that make Boris the Alberto of Europe?

"The South American country will leave behind 12.9% of its GDP this year, more than any other G20 country - although followed, not too far behind, by Spain and the United Kingdom - according to projections published this Tuesday by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)."

La recesión en Argentina será la mayor entre los países del G20

La OCDE vaticina un derrumbe del 12,9% en 2020, superior al de España y el Reino Unido. México caerá 9,2% y Brasil un 6%

I suspect the UK will recover a tad quicker....like within the next couple of years rather than the next century.

a tad quicker....

ah, but that's comparison...Arg will never recover, nor does it want to. they love it the way it is, gives them something to complain about during the 8 hours of asado

Funny you should say that.....my Argy wife is totally pissed off with the way this country is and has been for years. I said I actually find its doesn't give a stuff attitude - despite being very annoying actually quite refreshing nowadays. However we both agreed it's never going to change during the nest decade or three. Far too many eejits in positions they shouldn't be in sadly.

In his podcast, the Irish economist David McWilliams, in conversation with his pal Argentine senator Martin Lousteau, has on a few occasions drawn parallels between the Boris Johnson government and Peronist Argentina. Lousteau says that seen from an Argentine perspective, Boris smacks of Peronism in his ability to draw support from all classes around a dubious economic nationalism. Something that seems particularly out of the Peronist playbook is the idea of state-aided enterprises, such as the Dominic Cummings-inspired idea of creating a state-sponsored UK tech giant.

In last Tuesday's episode, after discussing the significance of Maradona to Argentines, Lousteau gives an account of the reasons behind Argentina's century of economic decline. McWilliams then goes on to speculate that, with the concrete effects of the utter madness of Brexit about to be felt, the UK may well be on the cusp of an economic tailspin comparable to Argentina's.

I see the main reason why the UK is Brexiting is because there are too many constraints being forced on them especially when it come to trade. The UK is more in bed with the US than any of the other members so I can only see that 'marriage' becoming even stronger. I wouldn't be at at all surprised if other members follow the UK in years to come.

Argentinas friends are all a bit on the dodgy side.

I thought it was about immigration and its effects.
