Finance executives ask for certainty (indexed debt worries)

Ricardo Dessy, director and economist Citibank for the southern cone of Latin America, he pointed out that at a global level there is a scenario of strong instability that can be taken advantage of by Argentina. “Uncertainty is very high in the world, and the reality is that uncertainty is worse than bad,” she considered. Contrary to what the Minister of Economy, Martín Guzmán, thinks, he maintained that inflation “is not multi-causal” but rather “its transmission channels” are. For the Citibank economist, the global scenario is governed by four factors of uncertainty, which are the covid pandemic, the slowdown in the Chinese economy, the increase in interest rates by the United States Federal Reserve and the war in Ukraine. And for this reason, he considered that opportunities are opening up for Argentina and Latin America in general. “I have energy and food, but I also have peace,” Dessy explained.
