Argentina Hits Rock Bottom
Video Summary
Argentina’s economy has been in a state of disarray for decades, with six recessions in the past 10 years and nine international debt defaults. The country’s latest president, Javier Mele, was elected on a promise to reform the economy, and he has made significant changes in the past eight months. Mele has reduced energy and public service subsidies, resulting in a 400% increase in costs for Argentinians. He has also reduced government departments by 50% and cut back on public spending, including education, housing, and healthcare. While Mele’s policies have increased tax revenues, resulting in a fiscal balance, they have also led to a sharp increase in unemployment, now at 7.7%, the highest level since 2020. The country’s inflation rate is still extremely high, at over 250%, and interest rates are high at 40%. Mele’s popularity remains, with 56% of the population still supporting him, but his policies are being tested, and there is a risk that his popularity will decline if the economy does not show significant improvement. The outlook for the next 6-12 months is uncertain, with high inflation, high interest rates, and rising unemployment likely to continue, making it difficult for the economy to recover.
