In the economic sphere, Milei stated that "fiscal balance is the cornerstone of our government plan" and celebrated the sustained decrease in inflation, the reduction of poverty, the lowering of taxes, and the imminent lifting of currency controls as central achievements.
The President also detailed the increases planned in the budget: 5% in real terms for pensions, 17% in health, 8% in education, 5% for disability pensions, and an increase of 4.8 trillion pesos (4.8 trillion pesos) for national universities. "The priority of this government is human capital," he emphasized.
Finally, Milei addressed the private sector: "For the first time in decades, this primary surplus will allow the public sector to finance the private sector so it can develop projects that contribute to the country's infrastructure and logistics." He delivered a central message: "It is time to accept that if we want more companies to invest, we must stop seeing businesspeople as public enemies."

The national broadcast in which President Javier Milei announced the 2026 Budget not only marked a political and economic milestone, but also a media one: it reached historic audience figures that reflected the high interest of Argentinians in hearing firsthand about the country's direction.
The televised broadcast exceeded 33 rating points, while, when adding streaming platforms, the figure climbed to between 45 and 47 points, consolidating one of the highest records in recent years. The data surprised even the media consulting firms themselves, which pointed out that the phenomenon was not only on television, but also digital.
The head of state emphasized that "fiscal order and balance are the difference between working for a better future or living trapped in a stormy and decadent present." He added: "It has cost us a lot to get here. We have all made enormous efforts to get out of the hole we were in when we took office. Although the path is arduous, the direction is the right one. If we do not finish the process of change we have undertaken, we will have thrown away all the effort we have made."
