Argentina is going through difficult times (especially with the Peso being bad as it’s very volatile) since most Argentinians would prefer USD over the Peso either through savings or investment.
That’s because the dollar is the best bet not only for savings, but for making a living (if they can manage to get remote work). The thing is, how did Argentina end up in this situation in the first place?
Mainly because of leftist, almost socialist government.
Found the IMF spokeperson
It’s amazing sometimes how some people seem to be truly living in another plane of existence
Metric - Now - Late 2023 (Milei took office in December of that year)
Annual inflation - 30% - 211%
Fiscial balance - Little surplus - -5% of GDP
GDP growth - 3-4,5% - -1,6%
Poverty rate - 36% - 42%
Argentinian economy is doing better now in every metric imaginable, poverty too. This was a discussion about economy, not quality of life.
The president is the biggest Trump fanboy, how the fuck the government is leftist?
Previous governments were leftist, Milei is fixing after them.
Their president is an AnCap that nuked social services and critical government infrastructure, took on enourmous loans, and created skyrocketing poverty and unemployment. If socialists were in charge then Argentina would not be in this crisis.
Yet he massively improved the economy left in a dramatic state by socialists
No, he destroyed a struggling but functional economy and ruined the lives of millions to try to impress fascists like Elon Musk.

You’re looking at how well the wealthiest are doing, when poverty is now far worse, and these “gains” are built on unsustainable loans from the IMF to “fake” economic growth. Argentina is on a path to absolute devastation.
We will see. I hope you’re right

Why would you hope I’m right? You want Argentina to collapse?
No, because I don’t like Milei and his ideas. If it works in Argentina, alt wing all around the world will get political traction.

You bumped your head, mate? Better go see a doctor, as you sound very confused.
