In an effort to provide information on financial planning issues in Argentina, FPA volunteers have gathered the following links together to point you towards a variety of different resources. 

Each link has a descriptive tag explaining what type of site the link goes to. The tags are:
• GOV for government or regulatory sites
• ORG for non-profit or association sites
• EDU for academic or educational sites
