Abstract
The Argentine government has adopted a
strategy that emphasizes rebuilding the economy with a view
to delivering sustained growth with social inclusion - an
appropriate goal in view of the high degree of poverty and
inequality in the country. It is important to recognize that
growth is not only essential, but that it is needed over
sufficiently long periods and with sufficiently pro-poor
impact so that all segments of the population can expect a
notable improvement in their lives and their livelihoods.
The first part of the recovery after the deep crisis in 2001
has been successful in delivering strong growth with
positive effects on the living standards of the population,
especially the poor. Nevertheless, the persistence of sound
macroeconomic policies in the future, as well as the
implementation of other key policies, will be crucial to
observe high growth rates and further reductions in poverty
and inequality.
