ARGENTINA - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Argentina benefits from rich natural resources, a highly literate population, an export-oriented agricultural sector, and a diversified industrial base. Although one of the world's wealthiest countries 100 years ago, Argentina suffered during most of the 20th century from recurring economic crises, persistent fiscal and current account deficits, high inflation, mounting external debt, and capital flight. A severe depression, growing public and external indebtedness, and a bank run culminated in 2001 in the most serious economic, social, and political crisis in the country's turbulent history. Interim President Adolfo RODRIGUEZ SAA declared a default - the largest in history - on the government's foreign debt in December of that year, and abruptly resigned only a few days after taking office. His successor, Eduardo DUHALDE, announced an end to the peso's decade-long 1-to-1 peg to the US dollar in early 2002. The economy bottomed out that year, with real GDP 18% smaller than in 1998 and almost 60% of Argentines under the poverty line. Real GDP rebounded to grow by an average 8.5% annually over the subsequent six years, taking advantage of previously idled industrial capacity and labor, an audacious debt restructuring and reduced debt burden, excellent international financial conditions, and expansionary monetary and fiscal policies. Inflation also increased, however, during the administration of President Nestor KIRCHNER, which responded with price restraints on businesses, as well as export taxes and restraints, and beginning in early 2007, with understating inflation data. Cristina FERNANDEZ DE KIRCHNER succeeded her husband as President in late 2007, and the rapid economic growth of previous years began to slow sharply the following year as government policies held back exports and the world economy fell into recession. The economy has rebounded strongly from the 2009 recession, but the government's continued reliance on expansionary fiscal and monetary policies risks exacerbating already high inflation.

History   

 

According to our registered information, we can affirm that the company was incorporated as a consequence of the merger between CHEMOTECNICA S.R.L. and SINTYAL S.R.L., which had been operating in the market for some time.

This merger was carried out on 16/01/1943, date in which the company CHEMOTECNICA SINTYAL DE PRODUCTOS QUIMICOS INDUSTRIAL Y FINANCIERA was incorporated.

By mid-December of 1997, the company's Pharmaceutical Department was sold to the company MONSANTO ARGENTINA S.A.I.C., with the objective of using the sale´s product to increase the projection of the company's agricultural businesses area, apart from the increase of veterinary medicine products and adhesives.

The company operated without notorious changes until February of 1998, date in which the interested ones in the aforementioned transaction agreed to change the company's name to CHEMOTECNICA SINTYAL S.A., which is currently in force, operating nowadays in the previously exposed address.

In accordance with what was determined in the Unanimous Extraordinary Assembly of 26/08/2004 and continued on 23/09/2004, it was decided to change the company's jurisdiction of Buenos Aires City (this was published in the Bulletin of Buenos Aires Province with the Nº 25188 of 17/06/2005).
