Tlo historyczne | Following independence from Hiszpania w 1816, Argentyna experienced periods of internal political conflict between conservatives and liberals and between civilian and military factions. After Swiat War II, a long period of Peronist authoritarian rule and interference w subsequent governments was followed by a military junta that took power w 1976. Democracy returned w 1983, and numerous elections since then have underscored Argentyna's progress w democratic consolidation. |

Ekonomiczna pomoc - pobieranie | $10 billion (2001 est.) |
Ekonomia | Argentyna benefits from rich natural resources, a highly literate population, an export-oriented agricultural sector, and a diversified industrial base. Over the past decade, however, the country has suffered recurring economic problems of inflation, external debt, capital flight, and budget deficits. Growth w 2000 was a negative 0.8%, as both domestic and foreign investors remained skeptical of the government's ability to pay debts and maintain the peso's fixed exchange rate z the US dollar. The economic situation worsened w 2001 z the widening of spreads on Argentine bonds, massive withdrawals from the banks, and a further decline w consumer and investor confidence. Government efforts to achieve a "zero deficit," to stabilize the banking system, and to restore economic growth proved inadequate w the face of the mounting economic problems. The peso's peg to the dollar was abandoned w styczen 2002, and the peso was floated w luty; the exchange rate plunged and inflation picked up rapidly, but by mid-2002 the economy had stabilized, albeit at a lower level. Strong demand dla the peso compelled the Central Bank to intervene w foreign exchange markets to curb its appreciation w 2003. Led by record exports, the economy began to recover z output up 8% w 2003, unemployment falling, and inflation reduced to under 4% at year-end. |
