The Argentine government has unveiled a controversial fiscal mechanism known as the “grillete fiscal,” which aims to force legislative action to balance public accounts. This measure, inspired by the U.S. federal government’s “shutdown,” will trigger automatic restrictions on state operations if the legislature fails to restore fiscal equilibrium over several months. The policy was announced during a national address by President Javier Milei, who described it as a tool to prevent budget deficits and ensure accountability. The proposed system would suspend salaries for key officials, including the president, vice president, members of Congress, ministers, and other high-ranking personnel, during the period of enforced austerity. The mechanism is intended to act as a deterrent against persistent fiscal imbalance, with the goal of maintaining a surplus. According to sources within the administration, the project was developed in collaboration with Economy Minister Luis Caputo, former Finance Minister Federico Sturzenegger, and Central Bank Governor Santiago Bausili. The initiative is part of a broader set of structural reforms aimed at reshaping Argentina’s economic framework. In contrast to the U.S. model, where a shutdown occurs due to political gridlock over budget approval, the Argentine version is designed to focus on fiscal discipline rather than political conflict. While the American shutdown typically results from a lack of agreement on funding, the Argentine proposal activates based on financial conditions rather than political disagreement. Officials have emphasized that this approach seeks to safeguard the country's fiscal stability, particularly given Argentina’s history of inflation and currency instability. The reform also includes provisions to allow the legislature time to identify areas of spending that could be reduced before triggering the austerity measures. If the legislature does not take action, essential services such as healthcare, education, and security will remain unaffected, while non-essential functions will be suspended. This structure reflects a desire to maintain core societal functions even under fiscal pressure. This new fiscal strategy builds upon previous attempts by Milei to impose strict fiscal controls. Last year, he introduced a bill aimed at enforcing fiscal responsibility through criminal penalties, but it failed to gain traction in Congress. Now, with a more structured and legally binding approach, the administration hopes to secure legislative support, especially with the current composition of Congress and its alignment with the ruling party. Critics, however, argue that the mechanism could lead to unintended consequences, particularly if implemented without sufficient safeguards. Some analysts warn that the policy might exacerbate existing tensions between the executive and legislative branches, potentially undermining institutional cooperation. Others question whether the measure is politically motivated, suggesting it could serve as a contingency plan should Milei lose power. Meanwhile, the reform of the Central Bank’s Organic Law has sparked additional controversy. Ex-Bank Governor Jorge Carrera criticized the proposal for focusing solely on monetary emission while ignoring the role of debt accumulation in past crises. He pointed to historical examples, including periods under military rule and previous administrations, where excessive borrowing contributed significantly to economic instability. Carrera argued that limiting the central bank’s ability to fund the state does not fully address the broader issue of fiscal management. Despite these concerns, Milei remains confident in his vision. During his speech, he highlighted the need for fiscal transparency and warned against the dangers of unchecked inflation, citing historical data showing astronomical inflation rates since the creation of the Central Bank. His rhetoric has been increasingly aggressive, framing past governments as having engaged in systemic fraud and theft, with specific references to former leaders. As the government prepares to submit the proposals to Congress, the outcome remains uncertain. The success of the reforms will depend largely on the willingness of legislators to cooperate, as well as the broader economic context in which they must operate. With ongoing debates over both fiscal and monetary policies, the coming weeks will likely see further discussions and potential adjustments to the plans.

La NaciónNeovisan🔒KonzervativnoČinjenice 55Objektivnost 65jučer Milei će Kongresu poslati projekt za reformu organske povelje CentraPredsjednik Javier Milei najavio je na nacionalnoj televiziji reformu organske povelje argentinske središnje banke (BCRA), koja nastoji ograničiti njezine funkcije na očuvanje vrijednosti valute, zabraniti njezinu upotrebu za financiranje vlade ili lokalnih tijela i ojačati neovisnost njenih vlasti. Predlog uključuje ograničenja distribucije dividenda i eliminaciju neprenosljivih računa. Milei je istaknuo ovu reformu kao dio šireg paketa strukturnih promjena, uključujući "fiskalnu mrežu" koja bi mogla dovesti do zatvaranja ako Kongres ne obnovi fiskalnu ravnotežu. Također je najavio projekte za liberalizaciju tržišta kapitala i reformu sustava osiguranja, s ciljem poboljšanja pristupa kreditu i promicanja ulaganja. Tijekom svog govora, Milei je kritizirao upravljanje BCRA-om, optužujući je za "visoku" politiku korištenja monetarne emisije za financiranje troškova, što je generiralo visoke stope inflacije.
