N2  - This report focuses on Argentina ' s fiscal experience during the first years of the Convertibility Plan, evaluates selective important developments and programs affecting Argentina ' s fiscal condition, and sets up a framework for future work. It presents a review of the consolidated performance of fiscal accounts over 1991-96 period, and a review of some of the structural reforms that affected the fiscal accounts, such as the social security system reform.
