The region is estimated to hold more than half of global lithium reserves, mainly located in Argentina (21%) and Chile (11%).

It has occurred in parallel to one of the world’s highest inflation rates. The artwork then fetches prices ranging from 40,000 to 70,000 pesos domestically and as much as $300 abroad. The artists are reclaiming the currency at a time when the bills have often been the target of disdain from Argentina’s neighbors. Brazilian soccer fans have torn up peso bills as a mockery to their Argentine rivals. Inflation surged 12.4% in August from July, the highest rate of monthly consumer price increases since February 1991.

May 14 - Argentina's ruling Peronist party posted strong wins in elections Sunday, appearing to hold control over three provinces just months ahead of presidential elections in which support for the party is flagging. The results come as a relief to President Alberto Fernandez's ranks as economic unrest has shaken the party's hold over the country. Fernandez has said he is not seeking re-election, however a Peronist coalition is still aiming to hold onto power. Although the outcome is good news for the party, its fate in the presidential elections will likely be decided in more populous provinces, such as Buenos Aires, Cordoba, Santa Fe and Mendoza.

The South American country has a pipeline of copper projects that could produce 793,000 tonnes a year by the end of the decade, government forecasts show, well below neighboring No. Reuters GraphicsBRIDGING THE DEMAND GAPSan Juan is home to five of Argentina's eight main copper projects that have a total capex of $22 billion, a recent government report shows. Argentina has an estimated 65 million tonnes of copper reserves, according to a 2022 government report, some 3% of the global total. "The projects we have are of global importance and relevance because it's estimated that demand for copper between now and 2050 could be multiplied," he said. Copper demand is forecast to double to 50 million tonnes by 2050 from 2020 levels.

[1/5] Artist Sergio Diaz holds intervened Argentine pesos bills and a US dollar depicting Steven Spielberg's movie "Shark" as a parody of Argentina's ever-increasing inflation, in Salta, Argentina, December 30, 2022. "Nowadays it makes sense for me to paint on the largest denominated bill here in Argentina. Once I paint on it, I can sell it for much more than what the bill is worth," Diaz told Reuters in an interview in the northern city of Salta. He says he weaves the themes of inflation and the peso's depreciation into his works, which also feature the U.S. one-dollar bill.

La 22 iunie 2021, Ion Iovcev a fost eliberat din funcția de director al Liceului „Lucian Blaga”. La 19 mai, el a fost luat de acasă și a fost găsit în septembrie, într-o fântână părăsită. Oamenii bătrâni spuneau că în al doilea război mondial nu a fost atât de strașnic cum a fost în vara anului 1992 – grenade, automate. Așa a și fost. M-au făcut să mă simt o haină care a fost folosită și apoi aruncată la gunoi.
