2016 Update: Argentina Turns the Page
By: David E. Bell, Forest Reinhardt and Natalie Kindred
Abstract
This brief case is a supplement to “Cresud and Argentina” (515-043) and “Note on Agriculture in Argentina” (515-069). Set in early 2016, it describes developments in Argentina under newly elected President Mauricio Macri, including the country’s return to international credit markets, major economic and agricultural policy reforms, and the potential improvements and obstacles Argentina faces under this new administration. The case also describes Cresud’s performance in 2015. It allows students to consider the outlook for Cresud amid the evolving context in Argentina, with volatility in Brazil a potentially important factor.
