In that sense, he considered that “If 30% showed a great achievement by (Luis) Caputo, a number below that would mean that the success is resounding”. However, he estimated that the figure will be higher than the 21.1% of the City of Buenos Aires.
For the president, inflation “it flattened out, something that had been accelerating strongly.” That is why it evaluates that a number even less than 25% is a success for its management.
“Very delicate months are coming” in terms of inflation, Adorni said
The presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorni, said that “very delicate months are coming” in terms of inflation, he considered it “childish” that the president’s management be held responsible Javier Milei of the price increases of December of last year, and assured that “every point of inflation is the responsibility of the previous government.”
“In inflationary matters we have a lot of work to do,” Adorni said in his usual morning press conference at the Casa Rosada, in which he anticipated that “very complex months are coming” in that sense and that, although “it will go away slowing down, we must be very clear that very delicate months are coming.
The spokesperson stressed that “any degree of inflation is harmful to a country’s economy,” and blamed the previous administration for this generalized rise in prices.
In this regard, he recalled that “the inflationary dynamic in the first week of December was 1% daily and in the second 1.2%, we were around 45% monthly.”
“Each point of inflation is the responsibility of the previous government, due to the delays in monetary policy,” he stated, to clarify that what the Government is doing is “not sweeping it under the rug or hiding data, as the government did previous government, and tell the truth, as the previous government did not do.
In that sense, he maintained that the so-called “small plan” undertaken by the former Minister of Economy, Sergio Massarepresented “a brutal issuance of pesos that has led, not only in December but in the coming months, to an inflation with unpredictable consequences.”
Likewise, he questioned the “disastrous scheme of price controls”, among which he cited that of prepaid medicine plans “with an obvious rate delay”, in addition to “a lot of prices, such as fuel or schools.”
