The Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo, assured that “the worst of the adjustment is over”questioned the opposition for understanding politics “as a business” and promised businessmen that the Government “is not going to let them down.”
«We are not going to disappoint them. And if the country starts to grow we are going to lower taxes. “We are very close to that and that is why I believe that the level of aggression against the Government has intensified in recent times,” the official stressed, according to the agency. Argentine News.
Speaking at the opening of the Latam Economic Forum, Caputo avoided talking specifically about the economy and preferred political discourse, centered on the “effort that people are making.”
«We are more motivated than ever, first by the support of people from all social strata, who constantly thank us; then, because of the personality of President Javier Milei, who does not doubt for a minute the direction of the Government and allows us to take the measures that no one dared to take for decades,” he emphasized.
And he added that “we also feel motivated by the results: we are in clear recovery, after going through a critical situation. “We went from a five-point deficit to a surplus in one month and reached single digit monthly inflation.”
«So, we see that the worst is over and we are in clear recovery, the speed of which depends on two factors: the approval of the Base Law and convincing citizens that the change depends more on them. It is well established that this change must come from the public sector and it is not like that,” highlighted the head of the Treasury Palace.
For Caputo, individual decisions at the level of citizens and companies “make the difference. “That will make the recovery as quick as possible.”
The minister also referred to the Bases Law: he said that the project, which next week will be discussed in the Chamber of Senators, “will happen at some point, if not now it will be later, because it is very good.” for the Argentines.
Then, he attacked the opposition: he said that for “a good part” of these leaders “politics is not a service, it is a business, it is money in some of its forms: suitcases, positions, public works, boxes.”
«That is what we are changing and there better be resistance. That’s why you have to click: understand that for many, politics is a business. “As we touch interests everywhere, these guys defend what they want,” he stated.
According to the official, “people already understood this. He no longer eats glass. That is why we are not going to move from the north that we have set. The best we can do is guarantee macroeconomic order.
