There he indicated, among other things, that as of December 10, after taking office, he will promote a “state reform” and that he will try to “find a solution for the Leliq“. By the way, why will the latter be important for eventual dollarization?
Dollarize to close the Central Bank
“Close the central bank It is a moral slogan because for us stealing is wrong. Dollarizing is the currency in which you do it, but the central axis is to close the BCRA. Afterwards, the currency will be the one that Argentines freely choose,” said the economist. “Deep down you want to dollarize to get rid of the Central Bank”, he attacked.
Milei’s specific definition regarding his main campaign promise, in recent weeks, was that he was not talking about dollarization, but about a “free coin competition“. Also in that sense, he highlighted on more than one occasion that it was the people who decided to call it “dollarization” which demonstrated that the people were choosing that currency over the Argentine peso.
