Milei confirmed the course of his government and anticipated a sharp drop in inflation: “It will inexorably collapse”

In an exclusive interview for the Economistas program, broadcast on Public TV, the president, Javier Milei, analyzed in depth the central axes of his management together with Antonio Aracre and Ramiro Castiñeira.

During the meeting, the president reaffirmed the continuity of fiscal adjustment, detailed the progress of structural reforms and explained the reasons behind the current monetary policy, with a strong emphasis on the reduction of state spending and the projected collapse of inflation.

One of the points highlighted by the Head of State was the mechanics of work within the cabinet and the advance of economic deregulation.

Sturzenegger and deregulation

Milei described their leadership as strategic, delegating technical implementation to their closest collaborators. “I set the direction and direction of politics, but then he stays working in the kitchen with the ministers,” he said, referring to the team's coordination.

In that context, the President emphasized that management did not lose intensity. “The chainsaw is still on, Federico Sturzenegger is still deregger deregger,” he said, while warning that the Central Bank will remain firm in its monetary policy. Milei was adamant about public order and operational management: “We are not going to give in to being taken to the

streets.”

According to data provided by Sturzenegger and quoted by the president, the program has already exceeded 15,000 deregulations.

These changes made it possible to achieve fiscal milestones in record time. “In this group, we made 15,000 reforms, eliminated the fiscal deficit in one month, eliminated the quasi-fiscal deficit in six months,”

Milei said.

Dollarization

When asked about one of his campaign pillars, free currency competition and possible dollarization, the President offered an explanation based on the freedom of choice of citizens and the

current legal framework.

According to their statements, the transition to a dollarized economy depends on social will rather than on state taxation. “You can't dollarize because people don't want to,” he said

.

Milei recalled that the Government has provided tools for free currency competition, but that people still choose the local currency.

“We have proposed dollarization in two axes. You, if you want, can do your transactions in dollars and people don't. We have enacted the Fiscal Innocence Act and people don't,” he explained, reinforcing his position that he cannot “impose things by force

on people.”

Inflationary Perspectives

Regarding the economic situation, the president recognized the global instability caused by the War in the Middle East and its impact on energy prices, which constituted a complex quarter. However, he maintained an optimistic view about the near future: “Inexorably the inflation rate is going to

fall.”

The President went even further and predicted a scenario of strong slowdown in prices, ensuring that the pillars of the plan remain solid. “Inexorably, the retail inflation rate is going to collapse

,” he said.

Conviction and morality as State policy

Towards the close of the dialogue, Javier Milei reflected on his time at the head of the Executive and the firmness needed to sustain the government plan. He assured that the clarity in his objectives allows him to act without doubts in the face of political pressures.

“I didn't have a hard time making any decisions because I know what needs to be done, how to do it and I have the conviction to do it,” concluded the President, linking economic success to management ethics: “When you focus on the morality of State policy and do what is right, that makes politics and the economy comfortable.”
