“A lot of investors were betting that 2015 would come around, and Argentina and the holdouts — led by Elliott Management founder Paul Singer — would sit down and sing Kumbaya. Instead Argentina is coming up with more creative ways to raise cash, like a recent debt swap plan the government has announced to raise $3 billion locally. Argentina’s relies heavily on commodity exports like soybeans for revenue, and commodities are getting crushed. It’s clear that the country’s 40% inflation rate is putting Argentines on guard. They’re carrying lots of cash around, and because they carry around all that cash, Argentina has become the robbery capital of Latin America.”
