Abstract

This paper analyses the Argentine stabilization plan, known as “Austral Plan”.
We divided this work in three main sections. In the first one, the theoretical propositions,
which, according to us, are important for understanding the measures of the “Austral Plan”;
are reviewed. The second section looks at the more important measures of the plan and the
evolution of argentine economy during the first nine months of the application of the plan,
that is, from the time the plan was implemented until the prices began to rise. In the last
section, we consider some questions the program will have to face in the near future.
