In the intervening decade, President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and her late husband and predecessor, Néstor Kirchner, have pursued a variety of spectacularly bad economic policies. The independence of the central bank and the statistical agency have been severely compromised, with Fernández forcing the adoption, for example, of a consumer price index that grossly understates the inflation rate.
在此间的十年中，阿根廷总统费尔南德兹·基什内尔及其已故丈夫兼前任总统捏斯托·基什内尔实施了一系列糟糕透顶的经济政策。中央银行和统计部门的独立性遭到了严重破坏，比如，费尔南德兹强迫采取了严重低估通胀率的消费物价指数。契约被恣意破坏，外资公司被国有化。而当主产农作物全球价格飙升为阿根廷提供了提振产出、增加长期不足的外汇收入时，费尔南德兹又给大豆、小麦和牛肉出口施加了沉重的关税。
