Church? This university YES doubt the official poverty numbers. They say it's not 8.6%, but 25%. However, they state the reduce on poverty.

Of course they doubt the official poverty numbers. Everyone in Argentina or Somalia knows that the INDEC is not reliable. But the reduce on poverty is REAL.

I don't agree on using nominal GDP per capita. Do you really think that South Korea can be represented with $20.756??? Or Russia, Argentina and Kazakhstan also thus poor?

Developed there: Italy, New Zealand, HK, Spain, Israel, Greece, Slovenia, Portugal, South Korea, Taiwan and maybe Czech Republic. Slovakia is very near.

Now we're going to start the discussion about inflation.

With inflation or not, Argentina has the biggest purchasing parity medium income in Latin America (I'm not talking about GDP per capita. Argentina has the biggest medium income in Latin America even when you face it with the inflation).

Nobody has denied that Argentina is another 3rd world country.

Now we have really disturbed the thread theme.

In Latin America, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and Costa Rica are the most developed countries. That's it.

Costa Rica is no longer in the top 5 even. Panama and Mexico are above Costa Rica in almost every indicator, if only CR ranks better in security.

So GDP Nominal is not fantasy money. lol lol.

PPP takes into account the cost of goods between 2 different currencies, so prices could be affected if the Peso is Overvalued or Undervalued vs US Dollar and thus, it would be a better proxy to determine and compare cost of living between countries.
