This article describes the Argentinean experience during the first two decades of the 21st century. After a successful recovery phase from the 2001 debt crisis, during 2011 Argentina adopted incorrect macroeconomic policies to avoid the contractionary and inflationary effects from a large depreciation of the currency, by implementing a strict system of restrictions on foreign exchange purchase and sale. The restrictions were lifted 4 years after their implementation, and during 2016-2017 Argentina drew heavily from international capital markets until the country suffered a sudden stop of capital flows.
Este artículo describe la experiencia argentina durante las dos primeras décadas del siglo XXI. Luego de una recuperación exitosa de la crisis de 2001, a partir del año 2011 Argentina adoptó una política macroeconómica incorrecta, implementando un esquema de restricciones a la compra - venta de divisas. Cuatro años luego de introducidas, las restricciones fueron levantadas, y durante 2016-2017 Argentina retornó a los mercados financieros internacionales, hasta que el país sufrió de un freno a los ingresos de capitales.
