    The less cars they make the more unreliable they will be.

    I thought some, or at least one, already had?
    Or did they just suspend production for a while over the fact that they couldn't bring parts into the country?

    “In the middle of the seventies, General Motors market share was reduced sharply from 9% in 1976 to 2% in 1978. Losses exceeded $30 million and the head company in the USA decided to halt production activities in Argentina.”

    $30 million was worth a lot more in those days.
    Argentina never learns. Cyclical bust syndrome...

    Argentina needs to learn their potential future.

    ref: Vnzla; Maduro told the auto mfg AND the airlines, “If you leave now you won't be allowed back, ever!” Like a petulant child.
    He then refused to allow them to be paid.
    They just looked at their PnL accounts. They went. Thousands of jobs lost.

    Then he claimed it was part of the 'economic war' / 'imperialistic conspiracy'. That it was a CIA set-up to destroy him. Like the CIA can control Air Canada/ Air Italia without anyone noticing...

    Official Bolivar flacido rate $/6.3
    Dollar parallelo (today) $/188.05

    No wonder they went.

    just read those figures again

    when we spoke this time last year it was around 70 to the dollar. Over 100% inflation, but more oil than Saudi? Massive loans from China?

    Something is deeply wrong and the people are starting to realise...

    All of the Int'l companies will have to write down their funds trapped in both Argentina and Venezuela so if they're going to write off their investments my guess is they'll pull out all together.
    It shouldn't be too long now.
