“The macroeconomic fundamentals, basically fiscal, monetary and exchange policies, would be consistent with monthly inflation rates of 4% or less,” Rubistein said in a statement.
The official also highlighted the “very important incidence of inertial aspects, linked to the high degree of prevailing indexation” and that, for this, “price agreements, which register a high degree of compliance, will allow us to continue fighting the high factors present inertials”.
