Argentina's banking sector in the nineties: from financial deepening to systemic crisis
Article Abstract:
The liberalisation process in the early nineties has resulted to valuable restructuring in the banking system and financial markets in Argentina. The most significant developments include a vital growth in monetization and financial intermediation, the reversal in capital flight and the elimination of the foreign credit rationing encountered by Argentina in the 1980s. However, other advancements that were not that promising include the deepening of dollarisation and its consequences, the banking system's operational inefficiencies, and the small-and-medium-sized companies without access to international credit markets.

Preliminary studies agree that the probability of a currency crisis increases significantly in the presence of a common lender.
