  • Argentina's Central Bank issues a 10,000-peso note, now worth around $11, to manage severe inflation.
  • The new note is five times the value of the previous largest bill, reflecting rapid currency devaluation.
  • President Javier Milei's administration faces challenges in stabilizing the economy despite fiscal austerity measures.
  • Plans for a 20,000-peso note later this year indicate no immediate relief from the inflationary spiral.
