TIME TO REVIEW ARGENTINE INVESTMENT

September 29, 2009

Analysis of:Responding to the consensus articles have been published in the press in the last several months regarding the problems facing Argentina and its uncertain economic and political future. | www.washingtontimes.com

Since its financial and political collapse, fight with the IMF and banks, and eight-year rule by the Kirchners, investors are wary of Argentina. Many major investors, especially in the energy and mining areas, who were first attracted to Argentina during the 1990s have left the country and dumped their holdings at bargain-basement prices.Much of the blame for this flight can rightly be focused on the successive Administrations of Néstor and Cristina Kirchner. Still, many of the investors of the 1990s were inebriated by the “reform” policies and the wave of free market verbiage that swept the Region and neglected to look at past trends and understand traditional cyclical economic and political cycles. Despite the bevy of problems facing Argentina, now is an opportune moment to examine future investment acquisitions. The major players eyeing the presidency agree that Argentina has no choice but to implement clear, transparent and pro-growth policies and that the rules of the game need to be established, known by all and respected. Now is the time to begin to take a new look at Argentina and to identify investments with a strong upside potential. Investors who take an open-minded yet realistic approach will profit.
