Argentina has been making headlines due to its economic challenges, including soaring inflation rates reaching 287% in March. The country's central bank is set to introduce a new 10,000 peso note to address the devaluation of the currency. Additionally, Argentina's abundant lithium reserves, crucial for electric vehicle batteries, have attracted attention, especially with the increasing demand from companies like Tesla. The nation's political landscape has also been in focus, with President Javier Milei implementing controversial economic reforms that have sparked protests and strikes by unions.
