Former presidents of the Central Bank criticized the reform of the Organic Charter promoted by Javier Milei: The IMF is asking for it

The reform of the Organic Charter of the Bank of the Republic of Argentina (BCRA), proposed by President Javier Milei, has sparked new economic controversy. Two former heads of the institution, Miguel Pesce and Mercedes Marcó del Pont, criticized the initiative, suggesting it aligns with requests from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). They warned of potential risks to the central bank's operations. Marcó del Pont argued that inflation reduction is due to factors like recession and wage declines, rather than solely monetary policy tools. She also noted the IMF's longstanding push for institutional changes in Argentina. Pesce warned that combining autonomy with a single objective could lead to negative economic effects, citing past experiences such as the 2001 crisis. The government claims the reform aims to restrict money creation, which it argues is currently too broad under existing regulations.

Alejandro Vanoli advirtió en "QR!" por la reforma del Banco Central: "El deterioro sobre el empleo recién comienza"

Alejandro Vanoli, economista y ex-presidente del Banco Central argentino, criticó en una entrevista la reforma propuesta por el gobierno de Javier Milei para la Carta Orgánica del Banco Central. En el programa 'QR!', Vanoli alertó que los cambios podrían afectar el empleo, la producción y la capacidad del Estado para financiarse. Señaló que el proyecto busca limitar el Banco Central solo a controlar la inflación y restringir su financiamiento al Tesoro, lo cual, según él, sería grave. Comparó con el mandato de la Reserva Federal estadounidense, que incluye también la búsqueda del pleno empleo. Además, criticó la eliminación de la posibilidad de financiar al Tesoro durante crisis, argumentando que esto obligaría al Estado a recurrir al endeudamiento.
