The South American country will be able to"programme a volume of imports in yuan worth [the equivalent of] more than $1 billion from next month, which will replace the use of Argentina's dollars," said Massa on Wednesday, standing alongside China's ambassador in Buenos Aires, Zou Xiaoli. The decision comes as the South American nation battles critical levels in its dollar reserves amid a sharp drop in agricultural exports caused by a historic drought, as well as political uncertainty ahead of elections this year.
