Place : .. Date : 2 PREFACE In today’s competitive environment, survival of the fittest is the new motto. That is why it’s necessary that the theoretical knowledge is accompanied by practical knowledge. In an MBA programmer, project study forms an important and an integral part. It helps in bridging the gap between the two main important aspects the theoretical as well practical knowledge. “Knowledge and Human Power are synonyms”, once said the great philosopher Francis Bacon. However based on the experience within today’s global markets, he would probably say, “The ability to capture, communicate & leverage knowledge to solve problems is human power”. This raises the question how exactly one can best capture, communicate & leverage knowledge, especially within world of system engineering. With the help of the county report we can get the information about the both country and the position of the both country and make compare both the country so we can say that which country is good and which country are linked with which country. So the country report is also helpful to show the country’s economy and all the rank like GDP and all that. With help of the country we get the information about the import and export of that country with other country and which things are more import and export form the country. 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT We have the pleasure to present herewith the study work on economic policy of Argentina.
