On Sept. 7, the economically depressed state of Argentina took over as the next country to detach itself in the dollar in international trade, and form a new agreement with China to begin trading in Yuan currency.  This agreement, that can facilitate China supplying Argentina while using same in principle as $11 billion in Yuan, is meant to strengthen the South American power and help them ease the constraints of rising inflation, price controls, and foreign reserves.

In an article published in Foreign Affairs, the main source publication for your Council on Foreign Relations, the article author addresses the approaching crossroads to the Federal Reserve how they are able to both stimulate asset prices and never have to create a liquidity squeeze by raising interest rates with what has become appearing to be an inflationary environment.

A deductible bad debt have to be due to either actual money loaned or of an loss on previously reported income. You cannot cancel a loss of profits of revenue that you need to have received whether it has not yet also been as part of your income, such as uncollected your kids or uncollected rent for a cash-basis taxpayer, as well as decrease of profits on the deal that didn't materialize. If you are on the accrual basis and still have already included an invoice within your taxable income, then in the event the customer fails to pay that invoice, you may claim an undesirable debt. Otherwise, the entire uncollected invoice couldn't survive deductible as an undesirable debt because it had not yet been a part of your income.

This new trade agreement and currency infusion serves two purposes for Argentina.  First, it gives them the freedom use of foreign markets despite the fact they defaulted a few short months ago on a few of their bond issues.  Secondly, since black finance industry is thriving outside of the main Argentinian economy, the influx of the hard currency just like the Yuan will probably be accustomed to hopefully stabilize the general economy and wean local businesses over should trade an illegal currency much like the Dolar Blue for U.S. dollars.
