@4 “At least they know to make saving not like broke countries as UK :3 % saving rate.”
Jun 24th, 2012 - 11:14 am - Link - Report abuse 0Yes we are so broke here in the UK that we have the strongest currency in the world, when it comes to what investors view as safe. We are able to build billion pound aircraft carriers and 6 type 45's worth billions in total. Oh not to mention the billions to be spent on the F35 fighter jets.
You know it amazes me how people on the other side of the world seem to think Britian is broke and people here are starving and have no money, when those of us that actually live here can tell you we have plenty of money and the recession has hardly impacted the majority of us. In other words, the recession has had no impact on our personal finances apart from increased taxes that are very managable.
Now i have said this before and i will say it again. Just because the Euro Zone is on the brink (which britain is not part off), despite such a collapse, if it were to happen, having a impact on our economy. We will still bounce back to where we are now economically within 2-3 years. In the 1950's we were in a much worser state then we are today, and what happened then. We bounced back to remain one of the world biggest economies and richest countries.
Well said, geo. Put the Brutes in their place; they're in no position to pointificate other country's on their economic management when the UK economy itself is going to the dogs.
Jun 24th, 2012 - 11:27 am - Link - Report abuse 0Lol Forgetit87, yet more uneducated nonsense.
Jun 24th, 2012 - 12:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Comparing the UK's economy to Argentina's is like comparing a Ferrari to a fiat.
Really to even compare them is pointless given how very different they are.
So actually if we wish to talk about the Argentine economy we will do with impunity given how strong our economy has remained in terrible economic conditions and if that wasn't bad enough, Argentina's economy has been busy imploding when nearly all other countries in the same region have been enjoying very strong growth until recently.
If there was ever an economic model to avoid its Argentina's, although I'm being a little kind calling it a model given the random uneducated and ridiculous decisions made by CFK's corrupt government.
The Argentinian Banks are in effect bankrupt. The gov't has allowed them to decrease their reserves to maintain an appearance of stability. As U$ continue to flow out and into people's mattresses the gov't will continue to panic and act irrationally.
Jun 24th, 2012 - 12:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This is one of the straws that could break the back of the economy, but which one will actually do it who is to say.
Not long now...panic with the people is just about to set in and when it does watch out below.
I think I heard Patacones being printing this weekend so BA Province can pay salaries on Tuesday....click click click
“Comparing the UK's economy to Argentina's is like comparing a Ferrari to a fiat. ”
Jun 24th, 2012 - 12:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Because the Ferrari is so much more indebted and unemployed?
Actually its widely speculated Argentina's unemployment level is now at over 8.5% and rapidly rising vs the UK's 8.2% but given your expertise you knew that right?
Jun 24th, 2012 - 12:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And as for debt, I may need to explain to you that the UK unlike Argentina pays its debts and can create debt at will whereas nobody will lend to Argentina given its history of reneging on agreements and debts.
I'd all point out the UK's economy is 6 times larger than Argentina's even though we have less than 20 million more people and hence our ability to pay debts is also 6 times higher.
I hope this helps you understand some very basic concepts.
A 30% charge on withdrawal, exchange and deposits of us$ dollars will help a lot. Western unions charches at least 10% in USA and nobody complains, Argentina should use the economic decline as an excuse to fine all US dollar transaction. In any case Argentine worker get payed in pesos, dollar gives jobs to USA not Argentina, if anyone wants dollars they can move to USA. US dollars should be illegal tender in Argentina to keep the drug and gun traffic away from Argentine ports.
Jun 24th, 2012 - 12:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Actually its widely speculated Argentina's unemployment level is now at over 8.5%”
Jun 24th, 2012 - 12:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Did you just wake up after hearing that?
“I'd all point out the UK's economy is 6 times larger than Argentina's even though we have less than 20 million more people and hence our ability to pay debts is also 6 times higher. ”
If the UK was a person, its network would be negative. You're living off of an illusory sort of prosperity based on financial speculation. Your bubble is not sustainable, and when it pops, it's going to be a nasty fall.
Well given INDEC the agency known for lying has put unemployment over 7% its hardly a stretch for independent economists to put a more realistic figure out there or do you believe the inflationary figures? lol
Jun 24th, 2012 - 12:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And it seems you've been asleep, the UK has had a very nasty fall over the past 5 years.
'illusory sort of prosperity based on financial speculation' - I'm sure that made sense in your head, its just a shame its clearly not connected to reality.
Whatever will make you sleep better at night. :)

I think it may be a good idea for Cristina to stop the dollar being legal tender. What do people think...
Do you guys know what the best busyness is in Buenos Aires is?? Printing US dollars. Not only its lucrative but also beneficial for Argentina, let's give all Argentine's the best copy of a 100$ bill, next year people will think twice before trading US$. I hear there is a super dollar going around if anyone can get a bundle to me I will make sure to make their time worth it.
Jun 24th, 2012 - 01:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 020. Since you have never been to Argentina you have no idea how little faith people put in their own currency.
Jun 24th, 2012 - 01:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I'm sure that people that put all their faith in the Austral are living on the streets!
The Arg peso will be worth 1/2 in the next year and that is probably being overly optimistic.
The futures market has it at 8/1 eom July!
@20 - BK
Jun 24th, 2012 - 02:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0People think you are a deluded idiot.
US$ are the business currency of the world, so to stop using them would only hurt Argentina's economy further, not help it.
Didn't Uruguay get stuck with a few truck loads of pesos they couldn't return to Argentina this summer?
Jun 24th, 2012 - 02:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Why oh why would anyone take Arg peso in exchange for a hard asset?
When I travel there I only use them to pay for taxis everything else I pay with U$ and believe me the shopkeepers and barmen are very happy about it.

Jun 24th, 2012 - 03:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No, it never happened in the end.
Most businesses insisted on payment in USD via a credit card.
Oh that's good! I think this peso will go the way of the Austral in a little while anyway.

@11 Our economy is “going to the dogs”? Ah, yes, greyhound racing. Where we bet hundreds of pounds virtually every night. Could you bet hundreds of pesos every night? Of course not. You need your pesos for bog paper.
@16 Of course. CFK needs the money. It's getting close to palace-buying time!
@19 I don't sleep at night. Too busy laughing myself sick at argieland, CFK and you. Not necessarily in that order.
@21 Haven't you said that US dollars makes employment for Americans not argies? So printing loads of them is good for whom? And printing counterfeit currency is a crime everywhere.

30% inflation ,import restrictions, children starving despite exporting 90% of food produced, general strikes - its a bit of a mess. Every day it gets worse.
Why the nasty jabs at England,
Jun 25th, 2012 - 06:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Just because Argentina did not play, and get beat by England,
[Argentina is not European]
Ahh any excuses, CFK thinks she owns the bloody world, we bet she even asked if Argies could play,
But hey lads,,
We lost, and we were in need, we lacked some things, but it was a great game,
And Italy is not a two bit football nation .she was very good and well deserved to win,,
We lost on penalties, but in the last 7 penalties shoot outs we have lost six, I believe , so the odds were against us,
A new manager, limited time to get ready,
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Next stop BRAZIL 2014, and you will see a new England ,
First qualifying match sept 07th .this year.
Next time gentlemen , next time , lol

It was a great game. 120 minutes without a winning team shows how well-matched the teams were.
