Argentina unveils 2,000 peso note - worth $4
23rd May 2023
The impact of inflation on the value of the Argentinian peso has been made clear as the country has unveiled a 2,000 peso note worth $8.50 at official exchange rates and $4 in the most commonly used parallel markets.
It highlights how inflation, of nearly 100%, and soon to be 130%, according to many commentators erodes the purchasing power of a currency.
