The President Javier Milei reinforced the basis of the economic program with the shipment of the Budget 2026 which proposes, once again, to the fiscal surplus as a cornerstone on which the projections for the next period will be sustained. Within that framework, he pointed out that in order for macro conditions to improve, capital enters the country and companies prosper, interest rates They must tend to low. In 2024, 13,000 SMEs closed, according to official figures.
In a message to the country by national chain, the head of state presented the Guidelines of the “Law of Laws” that will send to Congress in the next few hours, complying with the legal requirements, and that will be a reason for broad discussions by the opposition. In addition to highlighting “the effort of the Argentines” and reiterating that “the worst already happened”, also gave clues of the changes that could reach the economic level.
According to Milei, Argentina “must, once and for all, to abandon the constant economic self -absence of the last decades” and leave behind what he defined as “Magic thinking” To try to advance a path of reconstruction of the country doing “once and for all, things well.”
In that sense, he said that “we have no other option” to go to, because the rest of the “recipes” already “failed”, so he asked to “assume” the need to face deep changes to achieve the sustained growth goals that allow reacting the economy and life of Argentines and Argentines.
“It is time to assume, finally, that if we want there to be less poverty we need more employment. If we want there to be more employment we need more companies to invest. And if we want more companies to investing we have to stop seeing entrepreneurs as public enemies”he raised first.
Instead of questioning the business, Milei said that conditions “must be generated” so that companies can prosper and earn money “, without being at risk” their property rights. “
“These conditions,” he continued, “also imply minor interest rates, which are not achieved by issuing money, but reducing the country risk based on fiscal balance and stimulating savings,” said the president. He added: “Because a company that does not earn money is a company that closes or a company that directly never opens.”
According to a survey of companies from the Ministry of Economy, In 2024 about 13,000 productive units were lost, And of them, some 5,200 were industrial. It is a report on the birth and mortality of SMEs, which indicates that last year 53,000 new signatures were created and about 66,000 were closed.
With these data the Treasury Palace seeks to put this reality in specific numbers, given the appearance of different works of analysts made based on data from the Argentine Integrated System (SIPA) or the Superintendence of Labor Risks (SRT).
Milei’s message to Argentines: “The effort we are all making is worth it”
In a message focused on the fiscal order, the head of state ratified the way to “Do not fall into the well of uncontrolled inflation.”
It was in that context that Milei sent a message to the population to assert: “The toughest years to face were the first. The worst already happened “. In that sense, he added: “We want to thank the Argentines for the enormous support they demonstrated throughout this first period“
Then, the libertarian insisted again with the economic direction, in search of rekindling the economic hope of the people: “The fiscal order and balance are the difference between working for a better future, or live locked in a stormy and decadent present. “
“ It has cost us a lot to get here. We have all made huge efforts to get out of the well where we were when we assumed. And while the road is hard, the course is correct. If we do not finish the process of change we have undertaken, we will have thrown in the trash all the effort we have made, ”said the president in the announcement recorded Monday afternoon in the White Hall of the Casa Rosada.
Unlike much of his speeches or interviews, Milei sought to address the Argentines and even halfway, he acknowledged: “I want to tell all Argentines: beyond the success of our management in correcting the collapse of decades, We understand that many still do not perceive it in their material reality. ”
