The government also clamped down on capital movements causing Argentina to hurt much more severely. Argentina defaulted on its debt of one hundred and forty one billion dollars to the United States; this caused the peso to depreciate in value. It then forced banks to convert U.S. dollar deposits into cheap pesos, impoverishing millions.

All this actually hurt the economy more making the exchange rate plunged and inflation picked up rapidly, unemployment rate also soared to 21.5%. This all happen very the fast. .
