A. Introduction
1. Over the last three and a half decades, Argentina's investment rate has been among the lowest among peer advanced and emerging market countries. Investment rates (defined in this paper as gross fixed capital formation in percent of GDP) fell in the 1980s from already relatively low levels and recovered strongly in the 1990s.
After rebounding rapidly from the historical lows experienced during the 2001 economic crisis, the investment rate fell again over the last decade, reflecting the deterioration of the macroeconomic environment and increasing government interventionist policies.
November 8, 2017--Access ETF Solutions LLC is pleased to announce that its Restaurant Leaders INDXX Index is being tracked as the benchmark for the USCF Restaurant Leaders ETF (MENU) which began trading on the NYSE today.
The index was designed by Access ETF Solutions LLC in collaboration with INDXX LLC as the third party back test provider.
