It was confirmed by the Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo. The increase that will implement ANSES It is in line with the formula that was in force. A bonus will be added, for which the Government has not yet given the amount.
In a television interview, Javier Milei’s official announced that “In March there will be a recomposition of approximately 30% plus the bonus“, after being consulted about the difficult situation that retirees are going through.
Caputo, in line with the President’s previous statements, attributed the serious situation to “inheritance” and noted: “Let us remember the inheritance we had. It was said that the retirees were going to be paid with the Leliq. The Leliq multiplied them by 20 and retirees lost 40%. We already inherited that and from day one we said that this formula did not work“said the minister against the administration of Alberto Fernández.
“If we continue with the political game of making use of pensions and everything we have seen with the law, this will be delayed even longer. In the meantime we are going to give them a bonus and try to protect the purchasing power“, he assured in dialogue with LN+.
In relation to purchasing power, Caputo defended Milei’s plan and explained: “What more would I want than to get three or six points more product and double everyone’s pensions? How do I do that? I print six more points of product and we are going to hyperinflation and we have the nominal fantasy that you earn more but you earn less and less“warned the head of Economy.
Inflation: Caputo estimated that in February it will be closer to 10% than 20%
On the other hand, the minister referred to another of the issues that generates the most concern among Argentines: the inflation. After alarming figures in the first two months of management (25.5% in December and 20.6% in January), Caputo estimated that the number will drop considerably in February and considered that “It’s going to be closer to 10 than 20.“.
“I never like to get ahead of numbers but I really I think this month will be closer to 10 than 20. I think we are going to see a substantial drop which is a product of fiscal and monetary control that we are carrying out,” he celebrated.
Along these lines, he clarified: “One thing is the recomposition of relative prices and another is inflation. The good part is that if you take out the effect of this recomposition of relative prices you will see that inflation is actually falling sharply.”
