In the face of shocks, like those associated with changes in the magnitude and direction of capital flows, the convertibility regime generates pro-cyclical reactions, which pose important problems for the stabilization of real and financial variables. In particular, the paper focuses on the stabilization of real and financial variables. In particular, the paper focuses on the stabilizing role of decisions concerning public debt management and, in general, the administration of the Treasurys and Central Banks financial portfolios (assets and liabilities, including foreign exchange reserves). The paper briefly reviews the main analytical approaches to the public sectors financial portfolio management and, within that framework, makes a stylized examination of the distinctive characteristics of the Argentine case
