When asked by this medium, he did not know how to specify how much the dollar would go when the exchange market was released. He anticipated that if she is elected she will seek more disbursements from the Fund and gave details about her “stabilization plan”.
Special envoy to Bariloche.- The candidate for president Patricia Bullrich She assured that if she is elected, she will move forward with the idea of a stabilization plan that will include a reform of the Central Bank’s organic charter. The former Minister of Security said that she will eliminate exchange controls but before the consultation of Ámbito He was unable to specify what will happen to the official price of the US currency after that. He also confirmed that he will ask the IMF for a “cushion” because the reserves “are at zero.”
“If the IMF is supporting a plan that is not being fulfilled enough, we hope that we, who are going to have a serious plan, that is going to generate confidence, will support us more,” said the former head of the Pro before a question from Ámbito about what relationship he hopes to have with the organization. When asked if this would include new disbursements, she remarked: “we want you to support us more because the reserves are at zero. We need a mattress ”and she joked:“ otherwise we have to go ask a mattress company and the truth is that it is not the solution ”.
Bullrich also said that among his projects he has the idea of launching a stabilization plan. Deputy Luciano Laspina, an economist who advises the candidate, told this outlet that it is “a monetary and exchange reform, which does not necessarily include a fixed exchange rate because for that you have to have reserves that we do not have.” In that sense, he acknowledged: “Today Argentina has very few conditions to stabilize. Therefore, in the first six months we are going to set the conditions, increase the stock of foreign currency of the Central Bank, reach fiscal balance and align relative prices”.
One of the points that the pre-candidate for president of Together for Change highlights as fundamental is the opening of the exchange market. What is not clear is under what conditions it would be done. Ámbito asked him what would happen to the exchange rate but Bullrich said “We are not going to do calculations now. We are working on the structural, we will give the details when we are clear and we can look at all the hidden numbers of the Argentine economy”. Then she argued: “We don’t know what will happen these four months, yesterday the dollar rose again and the situation is enormously unstable. We are not going to make predictions, we are going to act on realities”.
Then, when asked about how she will achieve a zero deficit, she focused on social spending, according to the leader “there are seven places where employment plans are generated, seven different Ministries that also do not generate employment.” She also spoke of the transfers to the provinces and maintained that there are districts that don’t care about “producing or not producing”. She cited Santiago del Estero and Formosa as negative examples and Córdoba and Santa Fé as positive examples.
The “Zen” conclusion of the day that Bullrich left is that his plan “It is not an adjustment. The size of the State is the worst adjustment ”, for which he said:“ We are going to misadjust the citizens to adjust the State ”.
