PerfilIndependentCenterFactual 96Objective 8011 days agoThe Argentine Secretary of Economic Policy, José Luis Daza, highlighted the challenge of restoring public confidence in the financial system, noting that many Argentinians prefer carrying large amounts of cash rather than depositing their dollars in banks due to fears of theft by motorbike thieves compared to distrust in the formal financial system. This behavior, according to Daza, stems from historical financial crises such as the 'corralito' restrictions, the Bonex plan, and past debt restructuring efforts. He emphasized that rebuilding trust in the state and the financial system would take time and linked this goal to the government’s decisions under President Javier Milei, particularly avoiding a forced debt restructuring in pesos despite the difficult economic conditions inherited in December 2023. Daza praised Economy Minister Luis Caputo for managing the situation effectively, stating that most mainstream economists would have struggled with the complexity of the task.

La NaciónIndependent🔒CenterFactual 90Objective 757 days agoDuring the first two years of President Javier Milei's administration, state fiduciary funds collected over $8.2 trillion and accumulated a surplus of approximately $3 billion. However, only a portion of this was used for their intended purposes, with a significant amount placed into government bonds and treasury instruments to support the government's 'zero deficit' claim. Official data shows a financial surplus of 1.86 trillion pesos in 2024 (equivalent to $1,978 million) and 1.23 trillion pesos in 2025 ($973 million). These funds were largely invested in fixed-term deposits at Banco Nación and government securities. Experts noted that while this practice is valid during periods of inflation, it reflects a shift in government strategy toward using these surpluses to finance other fiscal needs. The Ministry of Economy plans to continue allocating up to $1.33 trillion through these mechanisms, allowing Minister Luis Caputo additional flexibility. The Instituto Consenso Federal corroborates these figures, projecting nearly $4 billion in surpluses over three years.

It notes that Milei's support base remains strong among a minority, which benefits the ruling party. The piece mentions Luis Caputo, a key minister, acknowledging that the fiscal deficit may hinder Milei's re-election prospects, though he rejects labeling it as a 'plan platita' like those used by previous administrations. Caputo suggests that opposition forces, including former leaders like Axel Kicillof, are attempting to generate fear and uncertainty ahead of upcoming elections.
