Country Information - Argentina

In an effort to provide information on financial planning issues in Argentina, FPA volunteers have gathered the following links together to point you towards a variety of different resources.

Each link has a descriptive tag explaining what type of site the link goes to. The tags are: • GOV for government or regulatory sites • ORG for non-profit or association sites • EDU for academic or educational sites • COM for commercial sites, such as product providers

Virtually all of the links lead off of FPA's Web site.
