Next week (17 December) marks the deadline for Argentina to report to the head of the International Monetary Fund on how it intends to improve its official data.
In September, Christine Lagarde threatened the country with a “red card”, meaning potential expulsion from the Fund and the G20, if it does not do more to produce reliable statistics on its inflation and GDP. There has been no word so far from President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner’s government about its likely response.
Debate about Argentina’s official statistics dates back to 2007, when the government dismissed the director of the statistics agency that deals with inflation.

Argentina’s foreign minister has turned down a Foreign Office invitation to meet members of the Falkland Islands government in London next week.
Hector Timerman rejected the offer, saying: “The international community does not recognise a third party in this dispute.”
The island’s legislative assembly had said they anticipated a “full and frank exchange of views” in such a meeting.
The Foreign Office said the offer of a meeting “still stands”.

The Argentine government has put a temporary price freeze on all products sold in the country’s main supermarket chains to try to fight inflation. A group representing two-thirds of Argentina’s supermarkets agreed to keep prices steady until the first of April. The move comes days after the International Monetary Fund (IMF) censured Argentina for issuing inaccurate economic data.
The government says inflation is below 11% but economists say it is double. Analysts have accused Argentina specifically of understating the rate of inflation since 2007 in order to keep interest rate payments on its debt low, and to flatter the political regime. Some economists think the annual inflation rate could rise as high as 30% this year.
