Even as Argentines continue to squirrel away usds...as the peso's official value plummets...with signs of growing black market activity...influential Deputy Econ Minister Axel Kicillof denied a devaluation was in the offing.
"We are not going to take any explosive measures," he announced.
25% annual inflation and slowing trade are pressuring the peso's value.
Kicillof blamed opposition media for heating-up national panic over the weakening currency.
