What I'm Seeing in Argentina #1 🇦🇷

A Tasmanian boots-on-the-ground reporting from Buenos Aires.

The first newsletter in what will be a regular update on news and events in Argentina from a boots-on-the-ground Australian’s perspective.

Looking at the Obelisco and down Avenida Corrientes, Buenos Aires.

I’ll cover the following topics on Argentina in one compiled newsletter:

• Market news - mining and exploration sectors.

• Javier Milei's progress, VLLC! But an unbiased perspective.

• Cost of living update, from a Buenos Aires barrio.

• An Argentina recommendation: bar, Airbnb, restaurant, parrilla, tour, meet up, holiday, geoarbitrage - something useful or valuable.

I enjoy keeping a pretty close eye on things in the news and I am starting to build a decent network, so I thought this information could be useful to you.

I decided to make this a regular segment because of how fast things change here and the amount of news being reported. I’ve also got a stack of restaurants, bars, and general recommendations I want to share with you and figured this is the best way.

Before I became a geologist, I spent about 5 years working in restaurants, bars, and nightclubs in Australia and Europe, so I believe I have a pretty good eye for recommendations. I also have a borderline Malbec wine problem, but I think you guys will only benefit from that.

Let’s kick it off where I’ve got my mouth… and money.

Market News - Mining and Exploration.

The end of Peronia?

Argentina should be cutting steaks at the GDP table with Australia (it was until Peron took over).

The RIGI, as part of the omnibus law, was approved in the Senate in June.

What is the RIGI, and why is it important?
