| Sumario: | Although international crises partially accounted for the recent weakArgentine economic performance, main causes have to be sought in domesticeconomic policies adding uncertainty to the decision process of economicsectors and amplifying crises’ effects. Government revenues exhibiteda positive, though decreasing, evolution explained by a contraction oftax revenues despite transfers from the eliminated Private Pension Systemand IMF`s special draw rights.

Finally, although the overall cyclical sensitivity of tax revenues increased, budget balance’s response to GDP did not suffi ce tocheck cycles and active fi scal policies had to strengthen stabilizing actions. |
