There are a lot of people who will argue that CFK didn't have much choice but to impose currency controls to stop the errosion of central bank reserves. If you have foreign direct investment (FDI) in Argentina how do you effectively manage this risk? Do you see an upside?

You simply can't trust ANY numbers coming from the government or any governmental agency or body in Argentina. They are all bogus. Even when people want to publish accurate figures, CKF's regime threatens to put them in prison.
