 Currency and its fluctuation
 The peso (originally established as the nuevo peso
argentino or peso convertible) is the currency of Argentina
. Its ISO 4217 code is ARS,

 For most of the period between 1975 and 1990, Argentina experienced
hyperinflation (averaging 325% a year), poor or negative GDP growth, a
severe lack of confidence in the national government and the Central
Bank, and low levels of capital investment. After eight currency crises
since the early 1970s, inflation peaked in 1989, reaching 5,000% that
year. GDP was 10% lower than in 1980 and per capita GDP had fallen by
over 20%. Fixed investment fell by over half and, by 1989, could not
cover yearly depreciation - particularly in the industrial sector. Social
indicators deteriorated seriously: real wages collapsed to about half of
their 1974 peak and income poverty rates increased from 27% in 1980
to 47% in 1989.
 To a large extent, the main reason behind this long period of
hyperinflation was unsustainable growth of the money supply to finance
the large fiscal deficits maintained by successive governments..
 Another reason for the instability of the Argentine currency was the
fragility of domestic financial institutions. The Argentine banking crisis of
1990 underlined this point, as the Central Bank moved to confiscate the
deposits of commercial banks to overcome a liquidity crunch.
