Economics

Buenos Aires’ economy relies greatly on the production and export of agricultural commodities such as grains and food oils. The main manufacturing going on is food processing, metalworking, auto assembly, and the manufacture of textiles, beverages, paper, and chemicals. In the finance sector Buenos Aires controls almost all the money flow of Argentina. The banks hold most of the country’s deposits and the central bank controls the federal banking system. Buenos Aires’ transportation system has evolved around the //microbus// which is an Argentinean invention. One of Latin America’s oldest subways is located in Argentina. Express ways radiate from the city and connect with other cities in the country.
