The only people that believe the false stats are as dumb as monkeys and don't even know what GDP actually means.
Aug 02nd, 2013 - 09:11 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina's GDP per capita falling behind Peru's (!) in 3... 2... 1...
Aug 02nd, 2013 - 09:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0IMF wants the GDP numbers restated back to 2007, my guess is they've overstated growth by 2/3 each year since then.
Aug 02nd, 2013 - 10:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0That is a lot of growth that will have to be taken back!
They may be the #4 SA economy already.
No other country has fallen faster and farther down the GDP by country placement than Argentina. NO OTHER COUNTRY.
Congratulations Argentina a FIRST.
Aug 02nd, 2013 - 01:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“The government of President Cristina Fernandez is unable to explain why after several years of growth at Chinese rates we are now in a frozen economic situation.”
Aug 02nd, 2013 - 03:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Try the respected Argentine theories of Fairy Land, Never Never land, Fantasy land and the ghostly mythic people of the River Plate who come out to play at midnight on the 25th May to present INDEC with all the year's figures.
Well, I have NO problem telling the argie twats on here: TTT, Marcos, The Bitter and Twisted Old Twat of Chew Butt, DanyBerger, et al I TOLD YOU THE GDP FIGURES WERE BOLLOCKS!
Aug 02nd, 2013 - 03:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Only somebody with half-a-brain (see above) would even think they were correct, the figures for export and import showed the truth of the matter a long time ago.
So we await the usual suspects claiming the opposition are liars, US stooges etc.
If only the Alpaca look-alike at the IMF could get her French hatred of doing the right thing out of the way The Dark Country will be finished.
We all remember some twat of an argie saying “The UK is FINISHED!!!!!!!” don’t we. The boots on the other foot now!
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Obviously some Argentines know its a good idea, not only, to not try to kid others but also to not kid THEMSELVES by inventing Fairy, Never Never land, through Argentine fantasy history and the fantasy world of INDEC.
Aug 02nd, 2013 - 05:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I have heard that Argentina have mythical creatures called Malvanistas that crawl out of the River Plate at midnight especially on 25th May to inform INDEC of the years statistics from their mythical world.
Fear not, a miracle is coming, it's official.

Almost everyone in Mercosur has been lying about their statistics for decades. In Brazil, millions were “lifted out of poverty and became middle-classes” by Lula´s Bolsa Familia´s $12 USD monthly cash transfers, they have no car, no bank accounts and they take it to the streets when bus fares are increased by 10%, buy by all means they are Middle Classes. Argentina´s official statistics are always overstated to promote the regime´s political agenda and anyone saying the opposite it´s part of a conspiracy against the people of Argentina.
