The crisis caused the fall of the government, default on the country's foreign debt, widespread unemployment, riots, the rise of alternative currencies and the end of the peso's fixed exchange rate to the US dollar.

Documentary on the events that led to the economic collapse of Argentina in 2001 which wiped out the middle class and raised the level of poverty to 57.5%. Central to the collapse was the implementation of neo-liberal policies which enabled the swindle of billions of dollars by foreign banks and corporations. Many of Argentina's assets and resources were shamefully plundered. Its financial system was even used for money laundering by Citibank, Credit Suisse, and JP Morgan. The net result was massive wealth transfers and the impoverishment of society which culminated in many deaths due to oppression and malnutrition.

Wall Street, the International Monetary Fund, and the Bankrupting of Argentina (2005)

The Argentine economic crisis (1999--2002) was a major downturn in Argentina's economy. It began in 1999 with a decrease of real Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The crisis caused the fall of the government, default on the country's foreign debt, widespread unemployment, riots, the rise of alternative currencies and the end of the peso's fixed exchange rate to the US dollar.
By 2002 GDP growth had returned, surprising economists and the business media. As of 2012, the default had not been completely resolved, although the government had repaid its IMF loans in full.
Since the early 1990s, Argentina had relied on the IMF to provide the country with reliable access to credit and to guide its economic reforms. When the recession began, the national deficit widened to 2.5% of GDP in 1999 and its external debt surpassed 50% of GDP.[13] Seeing these levels as excessive, the IMF advised the government to balance its budget by implementing austerity measures to sustain investor confidence. The De la Rúa administration implemented US$1.4 billion in cuts in its first weeks in office in late 1999. In June 2000, with unemployment at 14% and projections of 3.5% GDP growth for the year, austerity was furthered by US$938 million in spending cuts and US$2 billion in tax increases.[14] Following vice president Carlos Álvarez' resignation in October 2000 over bribery suspicions in the Upper House,[15] the crisis accelerated.[citation needed]
GDP growth projections proved to be overly optimistic (instead of growing, real GDP shrank 0.8%), and lagging tax receipts prompted the government to freeze spending and cut retirement benefits again in November 2000.[16][not in citation given] In early November, Standard & Poor's placed Argentina on a credit watch, and a treasury bill auction required paying 16% interest (up from 9% in July); this was the second highest rate of any country in South America at the time.[17]
Rising bond yields forced the country to turn to major international lenders, such as the IMF, World Bank and the U.S. Treasury, which would lend to the government at below-market rates, and to comply with the accompanying conditions. Several more rounds of belt-tightening followed. José Luis Machinea resigned as Minister of Economy in February 2001. He was replaced with Ricardo López Murphy, who lasted 8 days in the office before being replaced with Cavallo. In July 2001, Standard and Poor's cut the credit rating of the country to B--.[18]
In July 2001 the government instituted an unpopular across-the-board pay cut of up to 13% to all civil servants and an equivalent cut to government pension benefits—De la Rúa's seventh austerity round[19]—triggering nationwide strikes,[20] and, starting in August, it paid salaries of the highest-paid employees in I.O.U.s instead of money.[21] This further depressed the weakened economy. The unemployment rate rose to 16.4% in August 2001[22] up from a 14.7% a month earlier,[23] and it reached 20% by December.[24] In October 2001, public discontent with the economic conditions was expressed in the nationwide election. President Fernando de la Rúa's alliance lost seats in both chambers of the Argentine National Congress, leaving it in the minority. Over 20% of voters chose to enter so-called "anger votes", returning blank or defaced ballots rather than indicate support of any candidate.[25]
The crisis intensified when, on 5 December 2001, the IMF refused to release a US$1.3 billion tranche of its loan, citing the failure of the Argentine government to reach previously agreed-upon budget deficit targets,[26] and demanded further budget cuts, amounting to 10% of the federal budget.[27] On 4 December, Argentine bond yields stood at 34% over U.S. treasury bonds, and, by 11 December, the spread jumped to 42%.[28][29]
By the end of November 2001, people began withdrawing large sums of dollars from their bank accounts, turning pesos into dollars and sending them abroad, causing a bank run. On 2 December 2001 the government enacted measures, informally known as the corralito,[30][31] that effectively froze all bank accounts for twelve months,[32][33] allowing for only minor sums of cash to be withdrawn, initially $250 a week.[34]
The freeze enraged many Argentines who took to the streets of important cities, especially Buenos Aires. They engaged in protests that became known as cacerolazo (banging pots and pans). These protests occurred especially in 2001 and 2002. At first the cacerolazos were simply noisy demonstrations, but soon they included property destruction, often directed at banks, foreign-owned privatized companies, and especially big American and European companies.

Spanish/Nat
XFA
Argentina is banking on a 40-million dollar I-M-F-World Bank bailout to kickstart its flailing economy, as it continues to feel the effects of years of recession.
The Argentinian government has created an emergency credit package called "Blindaje," Spanish for "a protective shield" to be spent on debt relief and improving infrastructure.
The financial assistance comes on the tail of a dire start to the millennium for Argentina.
With unemployment currently hovering at fifteen percent, groups of unemployed workers protest nearly every week outside the Ministry of Labour, banging drums to get attention.
Argentina has borrowed -- and is borrowing -- enormous amounts of foreign money to try to stimulate the economy, but so far to no avail.
The country has the largest foreign debt in Latin America, some 120 (b) billion dollars, close to 50 percent of the country's gross domestic product.
Investors, already nervous over Argentina's inability to pull itself from a grinding recession, turned skittish, in effect shutting the country out from tapping international markets for more funding.
It was the latest blow for Argentina, first pounded by the 1997 Asian financial crisis and pummeled again by Russian currency troubles a year later.
The economy sank deeper into recession after Brazil devalued its currency in 1999.
Since then, the Argentine economy has idled, while neighbouring Brazil and Mexico have seen their economies grow.
For Argentines living in what is still Latin America's most prosperous nation, the economic woes of the past three years have brought a steady decrease in living standards, years after the country enjoyed some of the highest growth rates in the region.
With an overvalued peso, Argentinian-made goods are too expensive to compete with cheaper ones from other Latin American countries.
SOUNDBITE: (Spanish)
"And let this also be a warning to the government. Up until now all of the complaints of the unions and businesses about imports from not only Brazil but the Middle East and especially Asia have fallen on deaf ears."
SUPER CAPTION: Augustine Amicone, Argentinian Shoe Industry
Since becoming a member of Mercosur in the early nineties, Argentinian exporters have to compete with cheaper Brazilian goods.
And with labour costs much higher in wealthier Argentina, many businesses are finding it hard to compete.
Statistically at least, there are reasons for Argentina to be upbeat.
The local stock market leaped nearly 30 percent in January, once lofty interest rates have dropped, and commodity prices are again gaining strength.
And Argentina received a boost when the U-S cut interest rates in January, which meant lower interest payments for government issued bonds.
Some Argentine officials feel the worst has passed, and many analysts now think that the only crisis really facing Argentina is a crisis of confidence.

SOUNDBITE: (Spanish)
"I think that in the Argentinian case it is more than just a recession that is influencing what people think. It is the fact that for the past two and a half years the Argentine economy has not been growing and that is why today the people don�t see the positive changes that the financial indicators do."

XFA
Argentina is banking on a 40-million dollar I-M-F-World Bank bailout to kickstart its flailing economy, as it continues to feel the effects of years of recession.
The Argentinian government has created an emergency credit package called "Blindaje," Spanish for "a protective shield" to be spent on debt relief and improving infrastructure.
The financial assistance comes on the tail of a dire start to the millennium for Argentina.
With unemployment currently hovering at fifteen percent, groups of unemployed workers protest nearly every week outside the Ministry of Labour, banging drums to get attention.
Argentina has borrowed -- and is borrowing -- enormous amounts of foreign money to try to stimulate the economy, but so far to no avail.
The country has the largest foreign debt in Latin America, some 120 (b) billion dollars, close to 50 percent of the country's gross domestic product.
Investors, already nervous over Argentina's inability to pull itself from a grinding recession, turned skittish, in effect shutting the country out from tapping international markets for more funding.
It was the latest blow for Argentina, first pounded by the 1997 Asian financial crisis and pummeled again by Russian currency troubles a year later.
The economy sank deeper into recession after Brazil devalued its currency in 1999.
Since then, the Argentine economy has idled, while neighbouring Brazil and Mexico have seen their economies grow.
For Argentines living in what is still Latin America's most prosperous nation, the economic woes of the past three years have brought a steady decrease in living standards, years after the country enjoyed some of the highest growth rates in the region.
With an overvalued peso, Argentinian-made goods are too expensive to compete with cheaper ones from other Latin American countries.
SOUNDBITE: (Spanish)
"And let this also be a warning to the government. Up until now all of the complaints of the unions and businesses about imports from not only Brazil but the Middle East and especially Asia have fallen on deaf ears."
SUPER CAPTION: Augustine Amicone, Argentinian Shoe Industry
Since becoming a member of Mercosur in the early nineties, Argentinian exporters have to compete with cheaper Brazilian goods.
And with labour costs much higher in wealthier Argentina, many businesses are finding it hard to compete.
Statistically at least, there are reasons for Argentina to be upbeat.
The local stock market leaped nearly 30 percent in January, once lofty interest rates have dropped, and commodity prices are again gaining strength.
And Argentina received a boost when the U-S cut interest rates in January, which meant lower interest payments for government issued bonds.
Some Argentine officials feel the worst has passed, and many analysts now think that the only crisis really facing Argentina is a crisis of confidence.
But while the leading financial indicators may say things are getting better, it may take a while longer for the average Argentine to be convinced.

ARGENTINA: KNOCK ON EFFECT OF BRAZIL'S DAMAGED ECONOMY

...
Spanish/Nat
The knock on effect of economic recession and currency devaluation in Brazil is crippling industry in Argentina and costing thousands of jobs.
Economists say Argentina has suffered a 30 per cent drop in trade with Brazil whose aggressive efforts to recover have also lured away foreign investments.
Many major brand manufacturers have decamped to Brazil in recent months costing Argentina an estimated 300-thousand jobs.
On Friday, President Fernando De la Rúa declared Argentina in a critical condition.
His reference to the country's ailing economy followed opposition attempts to block measures he says will stimulate growth.
Small businesses have been crippled, jobs have been lost and foreign trade has plummeted.
One main reason is the knock on effect of Brazil's own damaged economy.
Businesses such as this one, the Fate tyre makers, have seen exports slump.
SOUNDBITE: (Spanish)
"The truth is that in 1999 we had a fall in sales to Brazil of somewhere close to 50 per cent."
SUPER CAPTION: Roberto Cuyungian, Fate businessman
Brazil's currency devaluation last year and efforts to lure investments have hit Argentina hard.
Brand names in the car and tyre manufacturing industries, such as Firestone, Goodyear and Pirelli, as well as corporations such as Phillips have decamped to Brazil, lured by favourable tax incentives.
SOUNDBITE: (Spanish)
"There are businesses in Argentina, like Fate, whose production is completely based within its borders. There are international businesses who have production plants both in Argentina and Brazil. For these industries, at a time like this, they can leave their factories in Argentina and continue to produce in Brazil. That is to say, they can take advantage."
SUPER CAPTION: Roberto Cuyungian, Fate businessman
Reports suggest the shift of industry away from Argentina's crippled economy has cost some 300-thousand jobs.
Trade to Brazil has fallen 30 per cent and normally healthy trade relations are under strain.
Some say the regional customs union Mercosur, which bonds Brazil and Argentina, is at risk as accusations between the two grow over subsidies and safeguards.
SOUNDBITE: (Spanish)
"What do you do in a situation like this. One reaction is to say "Let's end Mercosur", let's declare a trade war on Brazil to put a stop to it. But that is absolutely wrong. I think that in a situation like this, the solution is more Mercosur not less."
SUPER CAPTION: Jose Luis Machinea, Economics Minister
Brazil continues to offer lower labour, production and operational costs but analysts are reluctant to say she will benefit the most in the long term.
If Argentina and Brazil's present trade differences grow, regional trade corporations such as Mercosur will suffer and the knock on effect will hit even harder.

It was time for our 10-day trip into North Argentina to begin with a flight on LAN airlines from Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (Buenos Aires' domestic airport) to San Juan, Argentina.
TIP: Be aware that Buenos Aires has two airports and always check which one you arrive or depart from.
LAN is an excellent airline but too bad for us, part of the Oneworld Alliance (we stick to Star Alliance like glue) and the flight took 1:35 from take-off to landing.
