The Presidential Election and Economic Challenges in Argentina
Argentina's presidential election revolves around the economic issues of inflation, exchange rates, taxes, and the unwieldy public sector. There are two candidates: Javier Millet, proposing to eliminate the national currency and central bank, and Sergio Massa, emphasizing experience and stability. Both candidates aim to tackle inflation and improve the business environment, albeit with different approaches.
There are two candidates: one is the current economy minister who has a wealth of experience in power; the other is a maverick libertarian economist who wants to ditch the country’s currency, the peso, and strip the central bank of its ability to print money.
We speak to his senior economic advisor, and also to a wine producer from the western province of Mendoza, who tells us about the challenges of doing business in a country with two exchange rates, severe restrictions on imports, a heavy tax burden and a shrinking economy.
And we speak to voters in Buenos Aires about what they want from their next president in a nation which seems to lurch from one economic crisis to the next.
