Argentinian Economy is slowing. Just look at this year results. It seems to go to an stagflation stage.

If you are Argentinian you know why the economy was growing since 2002: A local minima on previous years, devaluation, Soy and other commodities rising more than 2x and the farm sector investment on improving the efficiency with technology.

Thanks for confirming my point. But, I'm afraid I can't confirm your presages.

I was not confirming your point... you only said that Economy was growing since 2002.

Obviously nobody (that I know) see the future.

You did confirm it. He said the economy has been growing since 2002 and that's true even if the growth rate has slowed down. Going from 7% to 3% annual growth rate is still a growing economy.

Discounting inflation the economy is contracting in June
