We are an international company about to enter a contract in Argentina, to be paid in peso based on the FX rate on the day of payment for a fixed USD equivalent. Worry about the FX risk and repatriation risk. Any advice would be appreciated on how to mitigate those risk in Argentina.

We had a few conference call with Citibank Argentina. And, visited with Argentina's central bank but they said the problem is more with their tax authority and they would communicate.
But the situation doesn't look pretty from Citibank's eyes. What is your friends view?

Best if we spoke directly to better understand who owns contract, value of contract, time periods involved and ultimate "end game" when it comes to repatriating all / some / none (?) of the profits.
Given inflation a rate of exchange fixed now doesn't sound best. Do you have choices here?. Then there are tax consequences if funds come to US (?)
Sounds like an FENG member who is also a tax lawyer would need to be consulted???
