ARThe Argentine government's proposal to amend the Organic Charter of the Central Bank has reignited debates over the institution's role. Economist Federico Glustein argues the reform aims to reverse changes made during the 2012 period under Cristina Fernández de Kirchner’s administration and restore the bank's independence. He notes that while the initiative seeks to eliminate certain mechanisms that allowed previous governments to overspend, completely removing temporary advances to the Treasury could be excessive. Glustein warns that in times of economic or health crises, the Central Bank might become too weak due to reduced intervention tools. However, he acknowledges that the reform won’t immediately affect families’ daily lives but emphasizes the need for balanced measures to avoid both inflationary risks and loss of flexibility.
