The national government once again gave a clear signal that change is here to stay. In an interview with the channel Carajo, the Minister of Economy, Luis "Toto" Caputo, presented the guidelines of the new economic initiative called "your dollars, your decision", a measure that seeks to integrate private capital hoarded in foreign currency into the formal system, without persecution or restrictions.
"It would be natural for people to start transacting more with the U.S. dollar", stated Caputo, noting that Argentines hold between five and ten times more dollars than pesos. The new scheme, he emphasized, not only legalizes the use of the dollar in everyday transactions but also promotes an "endogenous dollarization", as President Javier Milei has repeatedly anticipated.
The measure was well received by various sectors, including the Association of Public and Private Banks of the Argentine Republic (ADEBA), which highlighted the strengthening of the national financial system. But beyond the banking system, Caputo emphasized the direct impact on citizens: "The savings are yours, no one can say otherwise", he asserted, appealing to the sense of ownership and financial freedom of Argentines.
