The Argentine government has announced the payment of a fixed bonus of up to $70,000 for August 2026 to retirees and pensioners with lower incomes. The measure was formalized through Decree 686/2026, signed by President Javier Milei and published in the Official Gazette this Thursday. This bonus will be added to the 1.9% increase in pensions and retirements corresponding to June’s inflation rate, bringing the minimum monthly income to approximately $419,776. Those who receive the full $70,000 bonus will see their total income rise to around $489,776. The bonus, which has remained unchanged since March 2024, does not form part of the mobility formula used to adjust pensions according to inflation. As such, it stays fixed while basic retirement payments increase monthly. The bonus is intended for individuals whose combined benefits equal or fall below the minimum pension level. Eligible recipients include those receiving contributory pensions managed by ANSES, the Universal Pension for the Elderly (PUAM), non-contributory pensions for old age or disability, and other non-contributory or granted pensions administered by ANSES. Those earning more than the minimum but less than the sum of the minimum and the $70,000 bonus will receive a proportional amount to reach the maximum guaranteed income. The bonus is described as non-redeemable and will not be deducted from any other benefit. It must remain active during the month of payment. In cases of shared pensions, all co-beneficiaries will be considered a single recipient for determining the payment. Since its implementation in March 2024, the bonus has been paid monthly without adjustment, leading to a growing gap between beneficiaries of the bonus and those fully covered by the inflation-based update system. According to estimates cited previously by Perfil, if the bonus had kept pace with inflation since its introduction, its value could have reached around $220,000. The current amount represents less than one-third of that figure. Another calculation indicates that the bonus should be approximately $159,703 to maintain its purchasing power from March 2024. This means the benefit has suffered a real loss of 56.2% since its last update. The freeze also affects the total income of retirees who receive the minimum pension. While their base pension adjusts with inflation, a portion of their income remains fixed, resulting in an effective update that falls short of the IPC. In terms of real terms, the minimum pension with the bonus is projected to be 9.1% lower than November 2023 and show an annual decline of 4.5%. These figures highlight the ongoing challenges faced by low-income retirees under the current economic framework. Separately, the government has announced reforms to the Central Bank's Organic Charter, aiming to redefine its role with a stronger emphasis on currency stability, prohibition of financing to the Treasury, and increased institutional independence. Economists warn that these changes could reduce the Bank’s ability to respond effectively to exceptional situations. The proposed reforms align with similar measures in countries like Peru, where such restrictions are constitutionally established. However, critics argue that limiting the Bank’s intervention capabilities poses risks, particularly in managing potential crises. Economist Pablo Das Neves highlighted that the reform aims to send a signal of seriousness regarding monetary policy, moving away from fiscal dominance. He cautioned against overestimating the impact of the reform, noting that it does not constitute a magical solution. Instead, he viewed it as a market-oriented consolidation of economic policies. Das Neves also pointed out a contradiction in President Milei’s stance, as the president initially advocated dismantling the Central Bank before shifting towards strengthening it. Miguel Ángel Pesce, former head of the Central Bank, warned that pushing the institution toward an unprecedented level of restriction could lead to severe consequences. He emphasized that removing the Bank’s ability to conduct open market operations would significantly limit its capacity to manage economic fluctuations. Pesce noted that unlike institutions such as the U.S. Federal Reserve, which balances price stability with full employment, the new Argentine model would focus solely on preserving the value of money. The Chamber of Commerce of Argentina supported the reform, stating that a healthy currency is essential for the progress of both the business sector and the country as a whole. The chamber criticized past practices where the Central Bank was frequently used to finance fiscal imbalances, leading to high inflation and economic instability. They welcomed the move to reinforce responsible fiscal and monetary policies, ensuring long-term stability and reducing government discretion.

La NaciónNeovisan🔒KonzervativnoČinjenice 85Objektivnost 72prije 10 danaArgentinska vlada pripremila je novi paket reformi ekonomske deregulacije s ciljem izmjene povijesnih pravila u osjetljivim sektorima gospodarstva. Predložene promjene uključuju prilagodbe u područjima kao što su prodaja droga, riječna plovidba, tržište nekretnina, ruralni najam, vinarska industrija, tržište knjiga, propisi o plinskim bocama, financijski sustav, javni prevoditelji i zadruge. Cilj je smanjiti troškove, povećati konkurenciju i ukloniti prepreke ulasku u ove gospodarske aktivnosti. Vlada razmatra zahtjev za šest mjeseci delegiranih zakonodavnih ovlasti za provedbu daljnjih deregulacija dekretom. Ovaj prijedlog dolazi od Ministarstva deregulacije i državne transformacije, na čelu s Federico Sturzeneggerom, i čeka odobrenje predsjednika Javiera Mileija prije nego što bude poslan u Kongres. Prethodne inicijative, poput onih povezanih s privatnom imovinom i projektom "Hoascajar", suočene su s kašnjenjima u Senatu.
Procjena pristranosti (Konzervativno): Članak opisuje vladine napore za deregulacijom kao proaktivni potez prema smanjenju gospodarskih barijera i povećanju konkurencije, što je u skladu s desničarskim ekonomskim politikama koje naglašavaju načela slobodnog tržišta.

PerfilNeovisanSredinaČinjenice 85Objektivnost 70prije 8 dana ECB ostaje bez promjena kako bi procijenio utjecaj rata na inflacijuEuropska središnja banka (ECB) odlučila je zadržati kamatne stope nepromenjene, čekajući nove podatke kako bi procijenila zahtijevaju li inflacijski pritisci iz rata između Sjedinjenih Država i Irana daljnje pooštravanje monetarne politike. Depozitna stopa ostaje na 2,25%, usklađena s očekivanjima ekonomista koji očekuju potencijalno povećanje od 25 bazičnih bodova u rujnu. Predsjednica ECB-a Lagarde izjavila je da je europsko gospodarstvo pozicionirano između osnovnog scenarija i nepovoljnijeg. ECB je naglasio da će donositi odluke na sastanku na temelju dostupnih informacija, napominjući veliku nesigurnost u vezi s punim utjecajem energetskog šoka. Banka je ponovila da je dobro pozicionirana za upravljanje situacijom. Tržišta obveznica pokazala je minimalnu reakciju na odluku, a prinos na 10-godišnje njemačke obveznice je neznatno porastao. Očekivanja za buduće povećanje kamatnih stopa ostaju stabilna, s swapovima koji vjerojatno ukazuju na povećanje od 25 bazičnih bodova u rujnu i još jedno kasnije u godini.
