RDEco: Ramiro Tosi questioned the cost of credit and warned for rates of 70% annually

Ramiro Tosi, an economist interviewed by +Perfil, criticized the Argentine government's monetary and exchange rate policies, calling them inconsistent and warning of their negative effects on the economy and financial system. He highlighted the impact of removing LECAP/LEFI regulations and the subsequent rise in interest rates, noting that personal loan offers now carry annual rates of up to 70%. Tosi explained that high interest rates combined with declining household incomes, stagnant wages, and rising utility costs are eroding people’s ability to repay debt. He emphasized that defaults are directly linked to interest rates and pointed out Argentina's tendency to swing between extreme positions on financial regulation. The discussion also touched on how inflation changes affect borrowers, with those who took on debt during higher inflation periods now facing difficulties repaying loans at lower inflation rates. Pilar Welfeelt added that purchasing power has become a central issue, as the financial system struggles to adapt to rapidly changing conditions.
