Drop the exchange rate It is one of the first measures she intends to take if she is elected to replace Alberto Fernández, although she did not want to specify whether she will take it “from day one” or if she will do it in stages.
“We are going to disarm the social, political and economic regime who left Kirchnerism. The stock is much more than a capital control measure, it is the snake’s egg, upon which the whole pattern of monetary expansion, financial or private sector repression, implicit export withholdings, exchange rate lags, among others. Laspina said.
As he assured on Monday, the axis of his proposal is placed on the order and coordination of measures. Along with the release of exchange controls, the candidate aims for a monetary reform, which is part of a total reform of the state.
“One must reduce the fiscal deficit. You cannot have a State that is a dead weight for the economy,” he said, explaining that this “implies giving more power to the private sector and less power to a State that has doubled in size in the last 20 years”.
At this point Bullrich referred to the continuity of the social plans and underlined that his government will work to transform them into a sort of “unemployment insurance”. which allows these beneficiaries to be reintegrated into the formal circuit within a period of six months.
Bullrich’s proposals are not very different from those put forward by Mauricio Macri in 2015.

The candidate assumes that he will have the legislative support to move forward with these kinds of measures and also argues that society requires these fundamental reforms.
