Argentina Economy Can’t Take 40 Percent Inflation: Massa

Inflation of as much as 40 percent is the biggest economic challenge Argentina faces, presidential hopeful Sergio Massa said.

Massa, a former cabinet chief under President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner who has since formed an opposition party, was the only one of three leading candidates to attend a rally today in Mendoza province with wine-grape producers who voiced disapproval over government policies that have kept price increases below inflation.
