Javier Milei defends economic model and inflation reduction

President Javier Milei has defended his economic model during the Council of the Americas, asserting that his administration has successfully reduced inflation by 85% and achieved economic growth. Addressing business leaders and officials, Milei claimed that the economy has expanded by over 10 percentage points in his first two years when accounting for previous economic drags.

Regarding rising consumer debt, Milei stated that the government is not responsible for current delinquency levels. He argued that the increase in non-bank sector delinquency is linked to specific market behaviors and high interest rates rather than government policy. He further criticized economists and media outlets for what he termed “analytical poverty” in their assessments of the country's progress.

In addition to economic defenses, Milei addressed social issues, attributing declining birth rates to abortion laws. He also emphasized his commitment to deregulation, warning that businesses benefiting from previous protectionist regulations, which he labeled “prebendaries,” will face challenges under his administration's open-market policies.
