In May, Argentina's economy grew for the first time since Milei took office in December, but the real picture might not be as rosy. So in this video, we'll take a look at what this means for Milei's radical economic plans and what it means going forward.

It’s too early to tell. I think everyone underestimates how big the the pile of problems that Argentina has.
it's not too early to tell that dollarizing is an insane idea
@shway1 only insane if you don’t understand why it may actually work.
@@shway1It isnt though. Whats insane is that they still havent given up their insane "Las Malvinas feverdream of invading and brutaly occupying the Falkland islands and the british people living there.
@@shway1it’s not insane, it’s just logistically difficult bc of the size of Argentina
You're right, it's very early but I do think that most independent observers appreciate that Argentina's problems are HUGE. They have been building up for years and years and there are no quick and easy answers, and certainly no solutions that will be acceptable to everyone, or even acceptable to the general population.
It's one month's data. At least wait a quarter before you declare if it's a success or not
Thats the conlusion of the video yes
have u watched the video
And is the average Argentinian making more, able to buy more and generally better off than before. I don't care otherwise about the line of GDP going up otherwise.
It's a success. Everyone was predicting a total failure by now.

Yeah, I heard that before.
We used to call them developed and undeveloped, but that's not a fancy term anymore.
@@karo2090 I believe the term for the current status of the european economy should be more along the lines of "self-sabotaging".
Its insane to expect a recovery in 6-7 months. Economies dont turn around that fast. This is the type of thing that happens over years and decades.
Yes they have to stay the course... .. means you've got to take people with you.... dont abandon the poor., but support them through a free market transition ... Again ook at Australia & New Zealand in the 80s... the most successful economies.. but Marker reforms were driven by the left ..
Well you can have a rally that can quickly boost the economy within a few years
economy can be brutal in both ways.
@@ObjectiveansthensomeThe Milei government is helping the poor as a form of transition. What happens is that there are dozens of cases of corruption in the registration of these social programs.

There is nothing being fixed
Closer to a hundred years.
But the Argentines are pretty nice people except for their awful economic inclinations. I hope Milei can pull it off.
Took Poland 15 years doing something just as drastic.
But hindsight included, signs were there 2 years.
Actually, most of args economic malpractices were neoliberal reforms with the backing (and direct benefit) of the US.
The same as was endured in Uruguay, Chile, and the rest of Central-South America.
Capitalist-oriented socialism worked so great the US had to overthrow democracies left and right to impose debt-thirsty neoliberalists in the whole continent.

In Poland we needed 20 years to get full benefits of the extreme free market reform and they were clearly positive.
“Clearly positive” - Poland doesnt own anything anymore... everything sold off to foreigners. Now you are dependent on others since they own your economy. And this is exactly what Milei wants to do to Argentina

This recession is most likely the result of an external factor. For the first time in decades, the United States is losing its clout as a federal reserve currency. They don't have any more economies to use to control inflation, and less money is being spent on stock and oil trading than in the past. They all lend support to the idea that a new multilateral world order is in the works.
Let's face it, increasing stock and index fund purchases during downturns and bear markets is unnerving. Which makes it very difficult for most people, like me, to do. It's challenging to incur the risk of investing the $1 million I have in an S&S.
That is correct. For the past 23 months, I've been in daily contact with a financial advisor. The difficult part of investing these days is determining when to sell or hold a company when it is trending. My supervisor can advise me on points of entry and exit in the sectors in which I am now active. I can't say I'm sorry because my profits increased by 63% in the third quarter of 2022.
I've been considering taking that path. I've kept a lot of stocks, but they're starting to depreciate, and I'm not sure if I should stick onto them or sell them. I believe restructuring my portfolio would be facilitated by engaging your investing coach.

Nice. People often underestimate financial advisors' importance. Over 50 years of data reveal that those who work with advisors typically earn more than those who go it alone. I've been fortunate to work with one for 13 years, resulting in a $1 million portfolio, largely from early investments in AI and other growth stocks.

Just a small FYI, that 1 peso bill in the video is from the 70's, we have been through a couple of different currencies since that time (at least 4 from the top of my mind). Right now the currency is called pesos again, with the international code ARS (which is different than the one showed here). And the bill that you will most likely have in your pocket would be 100 pesos, for which there are like 3 different designs currently on the streets
Words "we have been through a couple of different currencies" sound so surreal to me. I know all about it in theory but when I imagine living through it it still hits hard.

Stop focusing on raw GDP alone. Tell us about the changes in purchasing power per capita and inequality.
Well purchasing power per capita won't grow unless GDP does.
@@orrode2 GDP growth is pointless if it doesn't allow you to buy more and doesn't improve your quality of life in the end. In fact, an increase in prices can also increase the GDP.
@@noneofyourbusiness4830 yes and no. There are other indicators for a healthy economy. But if you don't have GDP growth those others related to purchasing power per capita and inequality also won't be in the green. So in a sense GDP growth is a precursor for the other more important metrics. Of course, that's only the case if the government invests as such. Take the USA, amazing GDP but the average American won't notice but at least some billionaire can be a helicopter for his yacht.
@@noneofyourbusiness4830 GPD is a worthless metric
Inequality is rising more than ever, milei will only make millionaries rich, the middle class will dissapear and the poor will get poorer
I think you totally misrepresented the data here. You are talking about a monthly economic activity indicator (EMAE) that Argentina's Statistics Institute calculates, not GDP. GDP is usually calculated quarterly.

Milei also dropped annual inflation rates from a cumulative figure of 287% (!!!) down to single digits. That' one hell of an accomplishment said by many to be impossible.
No, monthly inflation rates are in the single digits, dramatically less than the peak at ~25% monthly but he did not bring 287 down to 4
Correct, a hell it is.
@@pipeinxxNo, is not. No matter what you say or think but objectively inflation is slowing down for the better of argentines.
@@FloweryLilium
The Argentine political system has always been deeply and
(1) Since the beginning of independence
(2) and continuously
(3) irrational
(4) deceitful
(5) where everyone is allowed
These are strict descriptions without emotions or partiality, easily corroborated.
LET'S SEE:
(1). Since the beginning of Argentine history there was never regularity, but fights and the search for easy and brutal recipes (e.g. ALL the indigenous people were exterminated in a single war campaign). The land was shared among a few and there was no attempt at progress. The GDP was shared among a few, which continues until now. But everyone participates. The idea is to talk and talk and the truth is that everyone does what others denounced them, but be careful, it is vice versa.
(2) All governments have failed in all styles, some with a lot of blood. others with ridiculous endings.
(3) All Argentine formulas have been guided with passion and little to no understanding. Without clarity or effort, although the current one is clearly the worst. The whole life in Argentina is a tremendous emotion (very italic). An emotion without focus or destination.
(4). The love for deceit and trickery reaches unheard of extremes.
I recommend to non-argentinians who could see this video to watch Argentine TV since always and you won't be able to believe it. It's a spectacle. Nobody is ashamed of anything, everyone has a different opinion without it being understood what they think and nobody has any qualms about anything.
(5). All human abnormality is free to flow, nobody is filtered, supervised with the inevitable catastrophic results.
It's sad but the abnormal in all parts of the world are excluded from responsibilities that are dangerous for everyone. Not in Argentina. Never has this thing of narco-capitalism managed any system before in any place.
If almost no one buys and 55% of the population is poor, the public system has been devastated, large and medium-sized companies have closed, large companies have problems and the government has not paid its suppliers, medicines are not given to seriously ill patients.
So this inflation figure, which is still very high, is false. And let's not even talk about the dollar.
Just as it was to the previous "crisis" under his reforms, this too is too early to tell.
@@azahel542 realistically we won’t be able to say how successful Milei has been for at least 5-10 years and even then it will probably be controversial because there will still be so many other factors that are difficult to separate.
@@ethank5059 nah 5 10 years you won't be able to tell anything the way argentina is. If history is to be trusted, peronismo will come back in and destroy the country right after his term ends, so it will be irrelevant what he achieved.
@@ethank5059 Realistically, if any single country in the world tried to stop taking loans every year, the living situation there would indeed worsen. Argentina is in an extreme state right now, the previous governments have left it basically bankrupt. Both the American and the European countries really need to rethink their way of managing money, because for the next 30 years, it might be fine to just spend more than you have, but the magic gold is going to run out one day.
Not according to government data. What are you going to believe? Your own eyes and reality or the Argentinian government?
Interesting how many seem to want Milei to succeed or fail based on their own political views.
he is probably one of the most influentials politicians of this year, if he actually manages to fix argentina, it will be heavely influence elections worldwide
I mean, that's a pretty normal human weakness, which is why it's useful to have things like tldr - they're focusing on how the policies are affecting the economics.
@@juanmanuel7305 honestly, from here in the UK I'm not sure about that. Agentina's problems are unique to Argentina, just like it's strengths. While Milei may achieve some successes it's impossible to believe there won't be downsides so what the world will be watching is how he and the population deal with the negative effects of his policies. Just like any other country. I have no skin in the game but as a citizen of the word I wish Argentina all the best.
It's an economical experiment on a country-wide scale. Not often you get to see one, so it's very interesting to see.
It's not really a reason to wish him success or failure. Not really determining if his reforms would/wouldn't work in other country... But interesting nevertheless.
@@juanmanuel7305 Most people out of Latin America wouldn’t be able to find Argentina on a map much less base their voting patterns on what has worked/doesn’t work in Argentina. It is possible this could be a “proof of concept” that elected leaders may pursue more libertarian approaches but even then I doubt it. Libertarianism is just pretty unpopular especially when compared to heavy handed populism and scapegoating rivals.
This video and the data used are misleading at beast.

Perón's legacy has become detrimental to the argentine economy.
I live in Argentina and your conceptual framework is correct, Argentine exports are mainly agricultural (without added values). The reality is that this administration seeks to greatly increase energy and mining exports (sectors that require significant amounts of investment) and to achieve this it needs to transform a third world country into a credible country.
Finally, if this administration manages to make Argentina a credible country, there is absolutely no doubt about the growth potential it has for many years and therefore the possibility of investment that exists in this country.
The question is determining whether they are going to achieve it or not.....
You need good visa policy for business man and professional
Being ‘’credible’’ though is not as transparent as you think sadly. It’s only a matter of perception and off course politics. If Argentina is for some reason needed to prove a point then rest assured that the international press will write triumphant articles even if in the reality you guys are eating your boiled leather belts. Sad but true.
You need to have a look at who took it into a third world status. It wasn't the previous administration. You don't live in Argentina and if you do, unless you work in economics or the government, you have no idea what the exports are

The video missed the fact that the inflation since milei devaluation in december has already made it irrelevant for exports. The current oficial dolar rate is virtualy lower than before, even before massa election devaluation, making exports hardly competitive. Thats why, even with the agro back to normal, their exports are not happening, and the central bank did no grew the reserves the past two months, which normaly are the strongest.
Local economist are expecting a devaluation soon, because without the extra dólars from the comercial superávit we wont be able to pay debts.
Right! When you have an inflation of over 150% a devaluation of the national currency of 50% may have some impact for half a year, but that's it.
Actually declaring that a government does not have any trust in their own currency is pretty bad, both for the internal situation as for foreign business partners (trade or investment).
That is a straight up lie, the net foreign commerce was US$1.9b with exports rising 21.7% interannual and imports shrinking 35.4% interannual. Gross reserves went from US$21.5b in 7 december to US$27.5b in 17 july, with net reserves going from *negative* US$11.5b to positive US$35m

Argentina's economy has been precarious and horribly mismanaged for almost a century, fixing that in a year is almost impossible
even with the second natural gas reserves and third biggest oil reserves and biggest lithium reserves ? did i mention all the scientists that argentine universities produces?
@@leonardoorellano6652 Si, Leo. It takes quite a long time to plan the operation, acquire the start-up capital, set-up the necessary tools/talent/infrastructure, and begin to extract all these resources. I work in oil & gas here in Argentina, we need everything done yesterday and make miracles happen with regards to time frames, and even then getting a new fracking set ready to go takes a a year plus... if you're very lucky. Something like a lithium processing plant doesn't spring up overnight, especially when Argentina has the economic track record it has and investors are weary to put their money into the operation to get things done faster. Those things are on the order of several years at the minimum, if not closer to a decade if investment is slow.
For example, we had a single frac pump stuck in the customs at the Zarate ro-ro port for the better part of a year, and that's just dealing with customs to go do actual productive things. And no, we can't get these pumps built here in Argentina. Believe me, it'd simplify everything for us if we could, but it's just not feasible, we asked several local companies to prototype for us but they can't build something that's durable enough or that can handle the pressures.
@@leonardoorellano6652 Yeah. If a complete overhaul of the public sector and the tax code were possible, then maybe in a year or two it might be possible. It isn't, of course, so nope. A year isn't realistic. Four years isn't realistic either. Eight... just maybe.
poverty increased, wages dropped 40%, gdp contracted 20%, devalued local currency, and most argentinians cannot and will never have access to us dollars. but i guess its good that inflation is only like 5% after being 300%
There are always trade offs with every policy. We shall see if the steep price paid for lowering the inflation was worth it.
If the inflation is going down, the GDP is gonna go down too - it's only natural.
You're right, except one thing. Arg never had a 300% monthly inflation, so you cannot compare it with that 5%. It has been going down though, but it's still at 2022 levels.
We will never have access to dollars? What makes you say I acquire them every month 😂
An economy as distorted as Argentina's was always going to take some time to get the kinks out. Hopefully Milei lasts long enough to work them all out before some economic fairytale-spouting socialist or peronist takes the helm again
You are not taking into account that unsustainable public spending has decreased due to cuts, and this has indirectly affected consumption. For example, 80% of public works spending, which was extremely high and corrupt, was cut. Many pseudo construction companies, have been left without contracts, contracts that contributed to the GDP as public spend and that money eventually would ended up as consumption (the corrupt business man / politician going to dinner, with this money).
Furthermore, analyses are made by comparing the present to the past. This is done because past data exists and is reliable, but the correct way to evaluate performance (if it were possible) would be to measure Milei against a hypothetical alternative government. Why do I highlight this? Because the former government, in an attempt to win the elections, spent more in the last 8 months than in the previous 3 years (years that were already in deficit and with high inflation) in the form of subsidies to try to buy the population. To pay for that spending, the former government issued millions of pesos.
The disaster that this caused did not have time to be seen in that government. It is being seen now. That issuance of currency takes time to be reflected in the economy as devaluation. Therefore, it is not fair to judge this government without taking this into account. One should evaluate the inflation and GDP growth with Milei versus what would have happened with other measures.
Conclusions: GDP decreased, but how much of it was due the decrease in corruption due the public office? Is this inflation cause of Milei's administration or it is the delayed consecuence of formers goverment bad management?
Im an argentinian living in Argentina. I only wish to say one thing: Food is now cheaper. Wich means our children will stop suffering malnutrition. Say what you will about the president, he has my vote.
Recessions are part of the economic cycle, all you can do is make sure you're prepared and plan accordingly. I graduated into a recession (2009). My 1st job after college was aerial acrobat on cruise ships. Today I'm a VP at a global company, own 3 rental properties, invest in stocks and biz, built my own business, and have my net worth increase by $500k in the last 3 years.
Let's face it... buying more stocks & index funds during stock market corrections and bear markets is scary. Which makes it really hard to do for most people like me. I have $260k i want to transfer into an s&s isa but its hard to bite the bullet and do it.

Yes, and this has been happening since forever. This is nothing new about Argentina's sorry state.
We as a country used to think that everything was for free, thanks to peronism, and now we are paying the consequences. We learnt that nothing can be fixed short term and that everything has a price. The price is to "Tighten our belts" as you said, so that everything gets fixed eventually, not only for our own benefit, but for our kids, grand children, etc... and their future.
We will do anything so that Argentina becomes a real country once again.
AND if this fails, it wouldn't be the first time, isn't it? Every other government failed miserable thanks to thinking that everything should be "free". We will wait and see what happens now.
Given the current volatility in the stock market, I believe investors should divert their attention to lesser-known stocks. With 35% of my $270k portfolio invested in stocks that have sharply declined from their previously high status, I find myself at a loss on how to proceed, feeling overwhelmed by the situation.
Safest approach i feel to tackle it is to diversify investments. By spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown. its important to seek the guidance of an expert
A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850K.
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?.
Actually it’s a Lady. Yes my go to person is a ’Melissa Jean Talingdan”. So easy and compassionate Lady. You should take a look at her work.
Thank you for this amazing tip. I just looked the name up and wrote her

"under Milei's analysis, printing money devalues the money"
Could you be any more dishonest?
Any economist, even the armchair ones, can tell that printing money devalues the currency and creates inflation. Inflation which in Argentina was closer to hyperinflation and is being staunchly curbed by his policies.
Huh? Before Milei, the IMF predicted a growth of 2% for Argentina in 2024, it has recently published that the GDP will shrink 3,5%. While Argentina is as expensive as European countries in some regards, the minimum salaries are one of the lowest in the region and poverty is still around 60%. And Milei is facing the same problem as all governments have before: a lack of dollars. Many experts say this will likely cause a devaluation of the peso and lead to a deeper recession and more inflation. Too early to tell.
Every single news I see are saying that Argentina is ending the inflation, the indicators are saying otherwise. But then I remember how neo liberal the news around this planet are.
Yep, imf is cra p. They also predicted 200 inflation and now they had to lower their prediction to 130
c'mon its not like the imbeciles from IMF are mathematicians.. they are only economists
The funny thing is that the IMF hire a member of the Sao Paulo forum (which is a group of lefties) to mediate between Milei and the institution...
Nobody from the outside will invest in Argentina when there is a big chance that Milei will get voted out of the office 3 years from now and Peronism will return and thus the investment will go to waste. Maybe if he gets a second term and actually gets power in the parliament too. A century of neglect cannot be undone in few years.
Yes and no. Short-term investments by some brave smaller financiers, maybe yes - high risk, high gain potential.
But for long-term investments by financial whales, multi-year broad political concencus of walking the new path must be established first. Godspeed ❤
Peronism returning? If only.
Milei has already killed Peronism.
@@marcv2648 Milei has killed Kirchnerism, giving a chance for Peronism to return ironically. As soon as we get rid of Moreno, the nationalist movement will get momentuum.
There was no growth for 20 years. Give the guy more credit than that. Sheesh
economic growth is not in the red for half a month and there's a video about wether the policies are working or not?
False. Blue Dollar skyrocketed in December of 2023 to +1400 AR$. And since Milei took office, it went from that cipher to 1000, and now its changing values everyday (rising and going down).

Fantastic news. Though too early to tell, if these reforms work in the long term, it could be a valuable lesson that smaller state liberal economics can be a greater incentive for growth than the western consensus that growth must come or be aided by the government. Good luck Argentina.
Western? China's the fastest growing economy for over two decades and they're more State-centric than anything the West has to offer. Milei's reforms have been tried before and like always before, they are doomed to fail. The data this video's basing itself on is so short-spanned and volatile that current data, today, launched certainly after the video's been edited, already puts it all to question.
It's not real growth. It's about the harvest this year being much better than previous year. Everything related with Industry, internal commerce and so on is super low.
Of course its real growth. He made huge cuts to the national income that is squandered annually by government.
When Milei manages to free the currency exchange rate, the economy will fly thanks to investment, no one enters where they cannot leave.
Argentina will be prosperous and everyone is welcome to participate. Hug from Argentina
Argetina is going to be a model for the world to behold. You have a very bright future now.
Milei uses the tarkin doctrine, from general Tarkin in star wars.
In a single day tarkin reduced inflation in Alderaan to zero. He reduced crime in alderaan to zero. He reduced poverty in alderaan to zero. He reduced defcits and burocracy in alderaan to zero. He reduced popular protests to zero in alderaan.
The empire should just apply his methodology to the rest of the galaxy as it is clearly what everyone should be doing.
Seems like a neo-liberal paradise!... Errrr... Quite literally now that I think about it...

I've been making a lot of looses trying to make profit trading. I thought trading on a demo account is just like trading the real market. Can anyone help me out or at least advise me on what to do?
Trading on a demo account can definitely feel similar to the real market, but there are some differences. It's important to remember that trading involves risks and it's normal to face looses sometimes. One piece of advice is to start small and gradually increase your investments as you gain more experience and confidence. It might also be helpful to seek guidance from experienced traders or do some research on different trading strategies
I will advise you should stop trading on your own if you keep losing.
If you can, then get a professional to trade for you i think that way your assets are more secure
I'd recommend KATRINA,GEORGE her profit is great even when there's a dip
I foresee a recession lasting 2-3 years, and if inflation continues to surge, the Federal Reserve will likely raise interest rates soon. Inflation is causing various issues worldwide, such as food shortages, scarcities of diesel and heating fuel, and significant spikes in housing prices, leading to a potential financial market crash. This global downturn could have long-lasting repercussions. Given the current inflation rate of approximately 9%, my main worry is how to optimize my savings and retirement fund, which has remained stagnant at around $300,000, yielding almost no gains for quite some time.

People, I am argentine and i am and economic sciences student. Do not believe in the things like these you hear… The economy is not growing, it’s boucing from a complete collapse compared to last year. Basically, last year we had our worst drought in decades, so the agriculture sector production was in ashes (betwen 40 and 60% exports down last year), now the drought is over and the production volume is getting normal. For example, industry and construction is 15% and 20% down respectively, all economic sectors are down with 2 digits expect for Agriculture and Oil, mining and gas (which are still irrelevant in the economy).
so is Milei good or bad?
@@enduser8410 Inflation has significantly decreased at the cost of a complete paralysis on consumption (40% down) and production (industry 15% down, fishing 10% down, construction 20% down, commerce 12% down, hotels and restaurants 7% down, etc.) only primary economies are growing like food exports (80%, bouncing from last year drought), oil and gas (11%), mining (8%). Poverty has increased to 50%. However, poverty in Argentina is not like poverty in Brazil or most latin American countries… poverty in Argentina might be like being middle class in the rest of Latin american countries in general (except some), so its not like extreme poverty and in some years can be reduced significantly. Inflation has decreased from 25% monthly to 4%, but it is unsure if it will keep decreasing or stall. It will be a good number if it reaches 2% per month by the end of year and keeps falling after… For now, economy is completely paralyzed and wages, in the best case, holding up. Argentina is like that, falls of a cliff and then rises again just to fall off again. Some argentine governments have much propaganda for some reason but it is less spectacular than people think and what they show.
@@enduser8410IMO better than the last assholes they been having lol
Did you guys sell your crops yet? Last time I checked farmers were holding out cuz no one wanted to buy
@@JESSWURDGAMING Last information I saw was that the productors were not selling that much to the rest of the world (exports) because the official peso-usd exchange rate ($900) was very low (compared to the market one, $144O today) and claimed for a devaluation of the currency. If the goverment agrees and devalutes the official exchange rate (Peso-usd dollar), then the inflation will rise again and everything accomplished these months will be over. Withouth counting the devastating effects of the devaluating for the economy.
Its like the guy who got 200 kg obese over many years and now expects that running 10 times will make him ripped.

Never thought I'd be waiting for the first good book on an Argentinian economic experiment - but hey, here I am!
The message is that the bigger the government, the less the economy will grow. Of course, some government is necessary, but any amount of government that is beyond what is necessary to serve the people Is only going to be a drag on the economy.
Finally common sense
Aguante milei, aca en argentina lo bancamos a muerte!!! con superavit fiscal vamos a triunfar!
Milei is an outlandish figure, but his economic policies are logical. There are economic realities that all countries must face, and he's willing to make unpopular choices for long term benefit which is rare in politicians.
If your country is massively indebted and has massive inflation due to money printing, the only way to balance the budget is to raise taxes and/or cut spending. Many argue that instead of austerity a government ought to invest in growing the economy, but there isn't any more money to invest if you've maxed out your debt and already have 100% inflation from money printing. The long term benefits of a balanced budget and low inflation will long term heavily outweigh the difficulties in the short term (not to minimize the hardships many will face in that short term). The benefits of course will take time to see though.
Honestly, many richer more developed nations will have to make these same hard choices if their economic policies continue as they have been.
Milei also dropped annual inflation rates from a cumulative figure of 287% down to single digits. That's one hell of an accomplishment.
it's not a success to get minimal gdp growth of 1.x% if you tank the economy first.
Argentina, fight! Be strong. Bear with that! Greetings from Poland.
They're already doing better. Real incomes are already up. That includes pensions.

@@joek600 what are you talking about? the EU has collectively decided Argentina is a racist country and that's the only thing they've been talking about for the past 3 weeks
My friends back in Buenos Aires tend to heavily disagree with that idea. Overall what's happening is that if you already had money, you're slowly stopping losing it. But if you were already not under the best financial conditions (not even poor), things are just getting worse for you. Many of the "reforms" he's doing are just cost-cutting measures that are ruining the lives of those that had their freaking lives depending on it. It's hard to find someone in Argentina who hasn't lost or at least has a close friend who did lost its job thanks to Millei reforms. When people say it's to early to tell he succeeded, you should always ask succeeded to who. For the rich, he's doing an amazing job, but for the millions of people he threw into poverty saddly for them it's pretty easy and quick to tell if it worked for them.
Also and for those who are still in doubt, don't let Millei fool you, he's as far right as anyone else in the global movement. He rejected to participate in the meeting of the Mercosul (south america's EU) so that instead he could be part of a reactionary convention alongside Bolsonaro right in the heart of one of the most neonazi filled regions of Brazil. Millei is a crazy man and decided to join alongside people who have been destroying the lives of the less fortunate here in south america for the past decades. He's not doing anything revolutionary, just the same things as always but now with a mad man at the front to give it a new coat of paint and pretend it's something new and innovative.
You had a decent argument until you mentioned "far right" and "reactionary" and "neonazi" Thats just a leftist or far left IDEOLOGICAL argument.
Left wing policies always end in abject poverty. Venezuela is right there staring you in the face. And though you may try your best to deny it, Venezuela is the end game for all left wing governments. The entire debt based fiat currency scheme is what drives the masses into poverty. To be honest Milei isn't hard line enough! Going after the bankers should be priority #1. It is the bankers at the heart of all of this. The socialism you promote is not affordable, it's why Argentina had to manipulate it's currency so heavily. The bankers offer you a nasty Faustian bargain where you can go into infinity debt and spend as much as you like but what they never tell you is that one day you're going to be paying it back with interest..and the interest will be more than what you can afford. The currency always ends up debased and worthless. Living beyond your means always ends this way!

I had read that this is explained by the agriculture sector being in better shape after last year's bad weather. Every other indicator is negative.
While that was a good analysis of a short term of data, we shouls take into consideration that such reform takes a long while to see positive change, if any. Ideally, we should be giving Milei at least one year to see where his changes take the country
Milei proved that he was just a technocrat all along. He’s genuinely a pretty good leader and exactly what Argentina needed. Hopefully he doesn’t get bored and tries to implement that open market for human organs though…
Technocrat is technically (heh) the right word but is almost always used in the political context for system insiders such as Mario Draghi in Italy. Milei is an unorthodox technocrat who got power through a wave of popular support

Yes, but he already succeeded because he understands how an economy works, unlike the vast majority of politicians.
To anyone wondering how bad the economy was, the bills he is using on the graphic are "pesos ley 18168" that died in 1983, that is 3 currencies ago, they took away 11 zeroes to reach the current "peso". that is 11 zeroes in 10 years, current peso was created in 1992.
Argentina inflation falls in May for fifth straight month ....
The irony of the world right now is that so much of the wealth is in the hands of a few big players that the economy going "up" only means *they* are happy, not necessarely that living standards are actually going up

Three Comments on the relation between inflation and money printing that Milei uses and you rose:
1) Their money printers haven't completely stopped yet (yesterday started the closure of the last ones);
2) The spread is not instantaneous (Cantillon Effect)
3) Inflation was disguised by the previous government (see the spike at milei's first month), and yet it has been dropping dramatically since.
Higher interest rates will cause inflation? That statement runs counter to every modern economic theory.
It's Argentina sooo
@@dragonfire3727 Fair enough...
I can't explain it well but I'll try. That debt was placed to banks who had the chance to close their positions in 24h at any given time. So the government had to print increasing amount of pesos and increase the rate to keep it attractive enough for banks not to break the central bank from one day to the other and cause hyperinflation releasing all those pesos at once (a group of banks aligned with the former government did it anyways closing their position on a Friday last hour, some said, to destabilize the economy, they forced to sell US dollars from the reserves, but it was not enough to cause a crisis). That created a dynamic of never ending printing for years, 10% of the deficit was because of those bonds. He was able to replace them with a different kind and moved them to the treasury so the central bank won't need to print, then lowered the rate to "force" banks to lend money to companies and ppl instead of the government, restoring the credit that had virtually disappeared. He stopped that vicious cycle (actually he cleaned 9% of the total 10%). So yes, it sounds counter but it was a feeding loop, print to pay the interest, increase rate, print more, increase rate, print even more. The total amount of pesos was growing exponentially.
I don't quite understand the love for Milei, as you said in the video, this growth seems to be completely independent from his plan... On top of that, from what I can see the poverty rate in Argentina seems to be increasing and with inflation even more out of control than before... I just hope for the Argentinians' sake that he knows what he's doing despite the evidence to the contrary.

The invesments fall in mining and energy industry not logistic
@@user-cj7gl2ui8p You miss the point. Mining/Energy isn't something exclusive to Argentina, nor does any particular import/export. *Were there none of that before Milei?* No. *And everything about economy IS about logistic.* Say you are going to build a car factory, where 90% of material come from Europe, 10% from Argentina, your primary customer is China. Where are you going to build that car? China.

Seems like he is doing the right thing, results will probably take years to show
It's not that difficult to analyze. Milei is implementing a shock therapy. This has caused an economic downturn comparable to the pandemic (without a pandemic) and resulted in 10% more poverty, doubled extreme poverty, and lowered wages in record time. His promise was that by April the economy would rebound in a "V" shape... but now it's July, and the economy and social outcomes are still in an "L" shape (or worse). Moreover, we have experienced this type of policy in the past, and it has always failed, creating more poverty, destroying the industry, increasing unemployment, giving away natural resources without leaving anything in the country, etc. The truth is that each country has its characteristics and history, and what works in one country may not necessarily work in another. However, Milei's ideas have already been proven to fail, and the model he wants to implement resembles more those of extremely poor third-world countries rather than countries like Germany or Ireland, with which they like to compare themselves.... And another thing, his campaign promise was "Argentina cannot move forward with the same politicians as always," but his government is currently composed of politicians who have already led Argentina to disaster twice, one of them being the worst crisis in its history in 2001.
I guess considering the title is a question then I guess no.

Cheering for Milei and Argentina
When you see the "real" argentina in the streets, he's basically diminishing the size of the state while directly rising every tax possible (lowering the wage tax start point so more ppl pay more taxes and not adjusting pensions to market lvl and inflation), making his attempts to stop inflation a war towards old and poor ppl, eating their savings to survive. Also the numbers shown here are a bit deceptive; since the "gdp" and inflation numbers reached by Argentina are just averages of consumption, it doesn't show that some stuff has maintained its prices, but every necesitty like food, electricity and gasoline has just skyrocketed.
So; is Argentina on paper looking better to the outside world? Maybe, but it's still too early to see, and also this perceived numbers has been at the cost of the middle class (increasing poverty to 50%+) an the pensions of its older ppl.
What tax is he rising dude? Its free to invent nonesense here right?
That's what will happen to every single country in the world if they don't stop indebting themselves infinitely.
The faster you go through this period, the faster the country can actually bounce back. If you don't go through this... well, I expect the situation to be way worse.
@@TrykusMykus Yup that's what the opposition always conveniently glosses over.

@@shadetouchcatchemall5134He's raising every single tax possible. He stopped the VAT (IVA) paybacks the previous government was doing. He reinstated the tax on salary (impuesto a las ganancias) for workers doing barely above a living wage. He raised the (impuesto país by 10%) for businesses who need to buy currency to buy goods. He raised taxes for self-employed registered workers (monotributistas) way above an inflation adjustment.
And I'm pretty sure there's much more.
Some people read he claims to be a libertarian and come here to comment he does not raise taxes. Look at what he actually does, he's the most interventionist we've had for decades. Far right populist, tax the poor to feed the rich
So you are basically saying that the economy of Argentina had crashed so much early on that it could only go up from there. The reform are in early stages so you cannot expect too much positive changes but don't make it sound like Milei is doing miracles when he is the one knowingly crashing the economy in the first place, all be it to balance the economy as a whole.
The economy could only go up form there? lol economy can crash all the way to zero.. there is no “magical bottom” an economy bounce on whatever happen😂😂
@@arofhoof Yeah, I guess you are right. You can always crash it by double digit so -8% is not the worst. But go tell that to a struggling family who have a difficult time putting food on the table to feed the family. For you it might be a laughing matter, but bad economy is a matter of life and death for many unfortunate people. Luckily you must have a rich family so you never had to suffer the struggle of poor people. Rich kids laughing at poor people’s misery, something’s never change in the world.
Economy was already crashing before he become president. It's funny seeing people not blaming the actual people
@@crishhari5903 Or @aroflhoof could be laughing because their home country has been through similar situations and seen tougher times.
Let’s hope for the best for the people of Argentina. 🇦🇷
I just came back from Buenos Aires, 3 day ago, and evrything there is waaay more expensive now. Its not even close to what used to be last year. And you can see this there, a lot of poor people living in the streets, stores closed.... Its really sad to see.
Why don't you include an analysis by anyone beyond Miley and his supporters ?
Milei has already turned the country around. It took 7 months, dude. Opposition is going to have to start complaining about first world problems.
so its sucessfull because 1 month was good and 6 where bad? ofc it grew it fell for months straight but keeping the same infrastructure, despite growing 1 month the yearly growth still looks horrible
Interesting that working class people are never consulted in these very abstract videos. How do these neoliberal and financial capitalist games affect ACTUAL, REAL people? Mainstream or classical economists couldn't care less.
As a worker at a worker cooperative, all I see is that the Germany government is basically taking 70 % of our fruits of labor (income tax, all that universal healthcare, pension funds, etc., consumer tax) and the return on that is pathetic, many workers are in poverty when they retire, you have to pay your glasses yourself, but good for business owners who suck money in overly expensive government projects. Climate Change issue abused to funnel money to Elon Musk as well, CO2 certificates are the reason he became the richest person on earth. Then there are just several money burner organization (Handwerkskammer, Staatsanzeiger) you have to pay too for doing absolutely nothing meaningful and you need to pay a lawyer to do the taxes because they are out of control of complexity.
Workers are fooled because they cannot see the entire money flow in their business, unlike in a worker coop where everyone can see every cent getting sucked up by the government and we get almost nothing for it.
Everything is fixed, nothing else to see here.
Basically. The trajectory is already moving upward.
Many Mexican entrepreneurs are investing heavy in Argentina!!
What am.i missing?
The power of economic prosperity when the state is drastically reduced in size. Society will begin to prosper rapidly. Business will prosper. Workers will prosper. Consumers will get more choice and more for their money. Mexico is a socialist hellhole that subsidizes criminality.
As an Eastern European, I do not know too much about the Argentinian economy, that's why my question may be stupid. But why do they not simply abolish the "official" exchange rate? The double exchange rate caused much more problem in Eastern Europe during socialism, what they solved.
Govt spending really should not be part of GDP since the funds must be taken out of the economy before the government can spend them (while wasting a certain portion on the bureaucracy and other factors.) Govt spending is not productive. It is just the opposite.
You are goddamn right. Government spending destroys productive capital and distorts the economy.
