The Minister of Economy, Luis “Toto” Caputo, assured that Argentina is heading towards a period of strong growth and stability, and said that the next 18 months will be the best in decades as a result of the macroeconomic ordering process and the arrival of investments.
The statements were made within the framework of the AmCham Summit 2026, held at the Buenos Aires Convention Center, where nearly 1,500 representatives from the private sector, national and provincial authorities, and union representatives participated.
In this scenario, the head of the Treasury Palace stressed the importance of the measures taken by the Government of Javier Milei to correct structural imbalances and create the conditions for sustained growth.
Growth and Inflation
In his presentation, Caputo explained that the inflationary slowdown was affected by the "Kuka risk" during the legislative elections. “The disinflation process, which was going very well, was interrupted during the period leading up to the elections, where there was massive dollarization, with a sharp drop in demand for money. As we know, inflation is a monetary phenomenon,” he said.
In this regard, he noted that the context of uncertainty also impacted the level of economic activity. “Argentina could have grown 7% last year but it grew by 4.4%. Now the recovery in demand for money begins,” he said, while projecting an improvement in the indicators over the coming months
.With an optimistic vision, the minister assured that a phase of greater stability is coming. “Starting in April, we are going to see a very significant slowdown in inflation and greater growth. Inflation is going to have a death certificate,” he emphasized
