Economist Hugo Vasques warned during a broadcast on Ronda de Economistas that Argentina’s exchange rate has fallen behind inflation, undermining the effectiveness of recent tax reforms. He argued that the current dollar value does not accurately reflect price evolution, creating uncertainty for businesses planning investments and costs. Vasques emphasized the need for political consensus to ensure economic stability over periods of 10 to 20 years, noting that frequent shifts in policy direction historically hindered production decisions. He compared the exchange rate management of the previous administration, which entered the 2023 elections with a lagging currency, to the current government under Javier Milei, which began with a sharp devaluation but has since returned to a state of exchange rate delay. This lack of continuity, combined with trade openness, pressures companies competing against imported goods, suggesting that reducing taxes alone is insufficient to restore competitiveness.

The article reports on the upcoming US midterm elections, noting that polls predict a defeat for Republicans and President Donald Trump two years before he leaves office. It highlights that the Argentine government, referred to as the Casa Rosada, is anxiously awaiting the results due to fears that a significant political shift could jeopardize support from Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent for Argentina's libertarian economic plan. The piece frames the election as both a test of the US administration and a potential headache for Argentine President Javier Milei.

The Argentine government under President Javier Milei anticipates that US President Donald Trump’s Republican Party will lose seats in the upcoming midterm elections, a scenario consistent with historical patterns where ruling parties typically suffer legislative setbacks. Officials acknowledge that while Republicans are expected to retain control of the Senate, they will likely cede the House of Representatives, potentially limiting the administration's ability to pass legislation and forcing reliance on executive orders. This anticipated shift in US political dynamics raises concerns in Buenos Aires regarding the stability of geopolitical support and foreign aid for Argentina, particularly amid ongoing financial obligations to the International Monetary Fund. Although the government expects immediate negative reactions in financial markets, such as drops in bond prices and increases in country risk, officials dismiss these effects as temporary. To monitor the election process closely, the Argentine executive branch has dispatched a high-level delegation of observers, including senior cabinet members, to the United States.

This article examines the potential economic impact on Argentina if Donald Trump loses power after upcoming US legislative elections. Analyst Bautista Santamarina notes that previous US financial support was crucial for stabilizing Argentina's economy but describes such aid as an exceptional anomaly rather than a sustainable strategy. He argues that while a shift in US politics might complicate future assistance, it does not guarantee its absence, emphasizing that Argentina must reduce its external vulnerability by avoiding reliance on extraordinary interventions. The piece highlights positive trends in bilateral trade, noting that Argentina recorded a commercial surplus of approximately $2 billion with the United States in the first nine months of the year. Santamarina concludes that reducing dependence on US financial bailouts is essential for long-term economic stability amidst international uncertainty.
