Argentina


Argentina is often considered to have one of the strongest Latin American economies alongside Mexico's and Brazil's. However, it seems they are having problems of their own considering the recent resignation of their minister of economy. Although the government did not give a reason as to this change in President Kirchner's cabinet, it is suspected that a recent farmer's strike might be to blame. Farmers were complaining about a recent government tax on certain agricultural export taxes. The strike, however, was far from minor since many roads were blocked and food was in short supply in some areas.
