High fiscal deficit, high foreign debt, high inflation and exchange rate instability are generally considered as the main reasons for the deterioration of Argentina's economy this year. In this regard, the Argentine government has made efforts to solve the deficit problem by continuing to cut public service subsidies, streamlining government agencies, suspending the reduction of export taxes on agricultural products, and reducing export tax rebates. In March this year, Argentina launched a "slimming" campaign for government agencies, cut government financial expenditure by 20%, abolished more than 600 positions in various ministries and 25% of civil servants, promised not to raise the salaries of current ministers and deputy ministers within one year, suspended the recruitment of new civil servants, prohibited relatives of officials above ministerial level from holding public office, and made strict regulations on the use of government buses.
