“Inflation is like it prevents one from projecting the future. And therefore everything is more difficult. It is true that unfortunately Argentines are almost experts in projecting the future with inflation. But it is an experience that I do not wish someone the more I have it,” the president told Newspaper.
In this context, he said that the challenge is “to eradicate the inflationary logic.” “What we have to do is eradicate the inflationary logic of Argentina. How is that done? And it’s not easy to do. Why Much of Argentina’s inflation is what economists call ‘self-constructed inflation’. It is the inflation that is in the head of the people. People read in a newspaper that fuel is going to go up and then they start to increase it just in case“, argument.
