Deep dives
Javier Malay's Economic Program
Javier Malay, the incoming president of Argentina, has been compared to Donald Trump, but the comparison is superficial. While Malay may encourage these comparisons, his proposed policies are completely different from Trump's economic nationalism and protectionism. Malay plans to dollarize the economy, eliminate the central bank, and open Argentina to world trade. This approach is in stark contrast to Trump's economic policies. Dollarization in other countries, such as Panama and Ecuador, has been successful in reducing inflation rates and providing economic stability. Malay's election could have far-reaching effects, not only for Argentina but also for Latin America as a whole, by promoting free trade and dollarization.
