It is second in size, after Brazil, in South America and eight in the world. The population in 2008 is 40.7 million (estimate) and the biggest town is the capital, Buenos Aires, which, with a population of 12.4 million in Greater Buenos Aires, makes it one of the largest conurbations in the world. The official language is Spanish, but there are many ethnic groups like Italian, German, Jewish, Welsh, Irish and others. The economics of Argentina has been turbulent, but has stabilized since 2000, although inflation has now again started to increase. The currency is Peso (ARS). Because of longitudinal and elevation amplitudes, Argentina is subject to a variety of climates. As a rule, the climate is predominantly temperate with extremes ranging from subtropical in the north to subpolar in the far south. The north of the country is characterized by very hot, humid summers with mild drier winters, and is subject to periodic droughts. Central Argentina has hot summers with thunderstorms (in western Argentina producing some of the worlds largest hail), and cool winters. The southern regions have warm summers and cold winters with heavy snowfall, especially in mountainous zones. With 4.2 million tourists annually, Argentina rank as number 43 in the world of countries with most international tourist arrivals.
