    Is the Milei "Transformation" Failing Already?

    Of course. It’s proven to work by the likes of Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, etc Now, that doesn’t mean that adjustments will not be required by other governments in the future as they were with Reagan and Thatcher or that mistakes will not be made but no doubt at this point in time...

    Is the Milei "Transformation" Failing Already?

    This is temporary and an unfortunate pain to bear as part of the change to better times. You can blame the Ks and Alberto’s policies for this. Better times are coming.

    Is the Milei "Transformation" Failing Already?

    Is the Milei "Transformation" Failing Already?

    Milei is not making the peso equal to the dollar so this is different situation. Back in Menem time Brazil devalued the Real and Argentina was stuck pegged to the dollar and couldn’t adjust so exports became expensive and hit the economy.

    Is the Milei "Transformation" Failing Already?

    I lived in Buenos Aires during the Menem period when the peso was one to one with the USD. Business was booming at the time with a lot of international investment coming into the country and was a great time to be there for locals and expats alike. Pity it didn’t last too long. I hope Milei...

    Is the Milei "Transformation" Failing Already?

    The currency in Argentina is pesos not dollars and this is what Argentines get paid in. In that regard inflation is dropping dramatically which is great news for the economy but perhaps not for expats with dollars to spend who have been living in a bubble with regards to prices in dollars. A...

    Is the Milei "Transformation" Failing Already?

    Monthly inflation in Argentina is dropping dramatically under President Milei's chainsaw attack on corruption and a bloated administration. He is progressing very well indeed. Mortgages now available in Argentina too. Great time to invest in real estate again perhaps ?

    Argentina sees sharpest drop in beef consumption for 30 years

    Mass Meat consumption is immoral. Go work in a cattle slaughterhouse for a few days and see how you feel. Spend time with the animals before their mothers are killed. How would you like this done to your family?

    Who has left or is planning to leave?

    I lived in Rio and although the crime rates are higher it didn’t really affect our quality of life. You just need to keep your wits about you and use common sense when out and about. Of course also depends on which area you live in too. We were in Leblon which was fine and same thing for...
