Argentina's inflation slows under Milei, but concerns over wages and job cuts grow

A new poll shows President Javier Milei's approval is improving on economic issues, as Argentina's inflation rate for 2025 is reported to be the lowest since 2017. However, the poll also highlights public concern over inflation and wages, and the government has dismissed over 60,000 public employees during Milei's first two years in office.

Milei celebrated the lower inflation, but prices have recently begun to accelerate again. He also clashed with a billionaire CEO over claims of protectionism, while political figures like Felipe Solá criticized Marco Lavagna's inflation measurement.
