it sounds good in the rate only, but don't you forget the depreciation of the pesos
Yes, if you think only from the interest on the CD. I don't know if there are any other countries paying the CD's interest rate at 20-24% or even more such as the the Central Bank's paying 36% last year, 50% this year.
Because you have to deposit in Pesos, either you exchange the pesos from US Dollars or from Euros/other currencies. Remember one critical thing: The Peso is depreciated at the rate of the speed much more than the interest rate you can get. It means that you "MAY/ WILL" lose the equivalent value of the money you deposit in the bank in the future.
Think well before you jump into the CD.
