In front of a group of entrepreneurs, the Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo, defended the results obtained by the Government in these first three months of administration and assured that if the presidential elections were held today Javier Milei “would win comfortably in the first round”.
“Even if we are not well today, put into perspective with what we have inherited, we must be well more than satisfied with the results obtained. In 3 months the Milei government is in fiscal balance, with downward inflation, having recovered more than 10 billion dollars from the Central Bank. This point was not reached by chance, We weren’t lucky, we’re here because we did our homeworkwhat needed to be done was done,” he stressed.
Speaking at the Inter-American Council of Trade and Production (Cicyp), the head of the Palacio de Hacienda assured that “politics has never deigned to solve problems” but rather “the attention has always been focused on resolving the consequences and not has ever caused them.” .
“Debt was in default, inflation was subject to careful pricing, devaluation was subject to restrictions and there was always someone to blame for it in the middle. The crises were recurrent because the underlying problem, namely the fiscal deficit, was never resolved.“he underlined.
In this context, Caputo assured that the Milei government has received”“the worst legacy in history” and explained how they approached the problem. “What has been done? We have opted for an orthodox fiscal and monetary program. For the first time in the election campaign there was a President who didn’t lie, who explained the problem, who said what he would do and once he thought we would put it into practice…Well, shocked, the first thing we did was attack the root of the problem“He added.
