Argentina's government faces declining popularity amid economic challenges

An editorial notes that about 60 % of Argentines say they are struggling financially, with the national government's approval slipping as the economy cools and purchasing power erodes. The ruling party is losing momentum in Congress, and opposition leaders are urged to unite, with Ricardo Quintela highlighted as a key figure for building a unified Peronist front.

The Central Bank of Argentina will release its July Market Expectations Survey (REM), showing analysts projecting inflation near 2 % for the coming months, food price inflation at 3.4 % in July, and the peso‑dollar rate around 1,482 pesos in July rising to 1,673 pesos by December. The survey also forecasts modest activity growth of 0.6‑0.9 % across quarters and a unemployment outlook consistent with recent trends.
