As this index is supposedly a lie, no pro-CFK poster can argue this is a good thing...... supposedly it is the government lie... I mean figure that is true!

I wonder what it will say?

In 2003 Nestor fired the independent statiticians at INDEC & moved his own people in to control the inflation figures. Since the bonds that most of the investors accepted at 35% were linked to inflation, the official rate saves the government millions in interest payments every month

Even the kamporistas will give you a wink & say 'yes we know the INDEC figures are a joke' but they think it's acceptable because it's for the cause & 'La Patria'

Why don't they just say there is no inflation? It is just as believable.
I don't see them changing anything by the IMF deadline eom Sept.
