After his visit to the province of Tucumán, and following the approval of the agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in the Senate, President Alberto Fernández plans to announce a package of measures to declare “war” on inflation from Olives.
Back in Buenos Aires, Alberto Fernández will return to the political agenda with the new anti-inflationary plan that he will implement to try to moderate the uncontrolled rise in prices that afflicts the country.
“The approval of last night’s agreement gives us the margin to be able to start today with the macroeconomic variables that have to do with inflation,” assured this morning the spokeswoman for the Presidency, Gabriela Cerruti.
In this framework, the official indicated that “now, following the agreement with the IMF, plus a number of measures and decisions that President Alberto Fernández is taking” the Government will put “the fight once morest inflation as the priority”.
Although he did not give details regarding the measures to be announced, he did emphasize that the Executive “has absolute clarity and certainty that this is what matters to citizens today,” and stated: “It is the battle that must be fought, the deeper and more serious situation has to do with that”.
In recent days, Cerruti anticipated that there would not be “a ten-point anti-inflationary plan, as has been announced so many times,” but that “a series of measures will be announced in the coming days.”
In addition, he stressed that the President holds permanent meetings with the economic team to outline the measures and affirmed that “a general increase in withholdings” is not under study, but that there are “conversations with oil companies and other sectors” of the food industry to ” guarantee the price of flour and oil”.
Page|12 announced that from Casa Rosada they reported that the announcements “they can be agreements or measures” and that “there is no room for there not to be agreements with this international situation“.
Along these lines, they stressed that “we are between war and agreement.” “We all know the inflation we had and, although today there is some hope that the war in Ukraine will be stopped, we do not know it and in this complex scenario the President is going to announce specific measures and other more general ones“, added the same sources.
