Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/30/2015 -- President Cristina Fern?ndez de Kirchner has had an eventful year. With repeated visits to the hospital it has affected her mid-term elections results. Although her party remains in control of both houses, there is a distinct lack of power she now holds over proposing new legislature as well as amending the current two term limit on presidential elects. Due to failing health and her lack of influence within the Argentine government BMI expects her not to run for president again at the end of 2015. This will greatly affect any further procurements as well as military/defensive spending.

The Argentine President, Cristina Fern?ndez de Kirchner, has remained vocal in several areas and although losing a high court ruling in regards to 'vulture funds' has continued to cause strained relations for her country. None more so than against the United Kingdom for sovereignty over the Falkland Islands. Argentina refers to the Falklands as Islas Malvinas and has claimed sovereignty over them previously. Since fresh resurgence of the claims came in 2013 (marking the 30th anniversary of the Falklands war) this has continued to not only be heard but garnered massive support from her country over 2014. This has been hampered however, by the Falkland Islanders who took part in a referendum, voting by 1,513 to three to remain a British overseas territory.

This in all likelihood shall increase more so in 2015 and with Argentina's expanding armed forces tensions have raised with these new claims. However with a new election due in late 2015, and a likely return to a more conservative government, further action may be taken financially to bolster the economy after the 'vulture funds' ruling thus putting any military action on hold.

In terms of defence, much has happened in line with BMI's forecast. The Argentine government continues to upgrade and procure modern military weapons and equipment either through state controlled production or mainly US and Israeli companies....
