The president of Argentina, Javier Milei, received the "Economist of the Year 2025" award, presented by the Ordem dos Economistas do Brasil (OEB), a civil institution based in São Paulo dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of economic knowledge in Latin America.
The distinction recognizes the economic policies implemented by Milei since he took office as president, especially in monetary and regulatory matters, which were key to stabilizing the Argentine economy in a context marked by high inflation, poverty, and fiscal deficit.
This recognition adds to an initial formal communication that OEB had made to Milei at the beginning of this year, when the organization's authorities officially notified him during a meeting held in Buenos Aires, at the Casa Rosada.

Back then, he was accompanied by the Minister of Human Capital, Sandra Pettovello, and representatives of OEB, who informed President Milei about the entity's decision to grant him the title for the year 2025, highlighting the wisdom and determination of the libertarian leader in his economic policies.
Ordem dos Economistas do Brasil
Founded in 1935 at the Faculty of Economic Sciences of São Paulo, Ordem dos Economistas do Brasil is an institution with a long tradition in evaluating and recognizing outstanding economists in Brazil and throughout the region. Throughout its history, OEB has honored professionals whose work has had a significant impact on economic development and stability.

In the document delivered to Milei, OEB emphasized that his strategic vision and commitment to economic stability were essential in guiding Argentina during times of volatility and uncertainty in the markets. The text also expressed its satisfaction in including the Argentine president in the gallery of "Distinguished Economists" who have already been previously recognized by the institution.
The award strengthens President Milei's international profile and supports his project of liberal economic reforms aimed at promoting fiscal discipline, market openness, and reducing public spending, in a country that has historically suffered from problems such as inflation and macroeconomic imbalance.
This international award symbolizes an endorsement of Milei's economic management and reflects the recognition of the Latin American professional community for the policies promoted by his government.
