Argentina: Economic Modernization and Bold Tax Reform Plans
With November showing the lowest inflation rate in four years, at just 2.4%, the choice to stop new money printing has been crucial in lowering inflationary pressures.
Milei’s larger goal of economic modernization—which includes implementing a free currency circulation policy in 2025—aligns with this fiscal restraint. Under this creative approach, people will be able to daily make transactions using several currencies, including Bitcoin .
Milei has also presented ideas for extensive tax changes, suggesting reducing 90% of national taxes. This action is meant to greatly reduce the financial load on businesses and people. Furthermore, by giving each state the power to determine their own taxes, his governmen t aims to decentralize financial policies somewhat widely.
This strategy is supposed to improve regional autonomy and support customized economic strategies addressing local requirements by means of their relevance. These changes have generated controversy, though, as detractors warn of possible dangers to small businesses and a growing reliance on imports, therefore compromising domestic businesses.
These policies have had a social cost even if their favorable results—lowering inflation and bettering fiscal health—have been noted. Now impacting almost half of the population, poverty rates have increased.
This emphasizes how difficult it is to carry out austerity policies in a nation with still somewhat clear economic inequalities. Although markets and investors favor Milei’s initiatives, their effects on the general people remain a divisive topic.
Relatedly, Argentina’s emphasis on technology innovation keeps becoming more and more important. CNF previously reported that the Ministry of Education teamed with The ETH Kipu Foundation to include blockchain technology into Buenos Aires’ high school curriculum in August.
