Javier Milei moves to overhaul Argentina’s Central Bank and signals alliance with Peru’s new president

President Javier Milei announced a joint effort with the Economy and Deregulation ministries to amend the charter of Argentina’s Central Bank, aiming to curb what he calls the institution’s “populist” monetary issuance. In the same meeting at the Casa Rosada, he outlined three legislative priorities for Congress: electoral reform, a “cold‑zone” regime and changes to the fiscal innocence project.

Following Peru’s presidential election, Milei called Keiko Fujimori to congratulate her and said Argentina plans to attend her July 28 inauguration, framing the event as part of a broader regional bloc opposing socialism and enhancing cooperation on economic freedom and security.
