“President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner’s government is raising taxes on credit card purchases abroad in a bid to stem the drop in Argentina’s international reserves to their lowest levels since December 2006. The government raised the the tax charged on credit card purchases in foreign currency to 35 percent from 20 percent, according to the Official Gazette. Argentina’s dollar reserves have plunged 29 percent this year to $30.9 billion as the government uses the funds to pay international debt and import energy, while Argentines take advantage of a strong official rate for the peso to spend abroad. The official rate is 6.2 pesos, while the black market rate is 9.2.”
