Argentine business leaders celebrate Javier Milei's liberal shift with a report in The Washington Post.

The economic model promoted by Javier Milei crossed Argentina's borders and settled in one of the world's most influential newspapers . Under the title " The Argentine Dream ," an extensive report published in The Washington Post highlighted the country's progress since the President's arrival at the Casa Rosada, with testimonials from business leaders, financiers, and representatives of key sectors. The article was prepared by Investment Reports , a media company specializing in content for corporate leaders, and was sponsored by at least 12 Argentine companies.

The report refers to a statement made by Milei himself during his presidential inauguration in December 2023: " There is no alternative to a shock adjustment. There is no money ." From there, the text traces the main economic milestones achieved in the first months of his administration: the decline in inflation from 211% to 43.5% year-on-year, the accumulation of reserves above $38 billion, and the achievement of a fiscal surplus.

“ The country, which 18 months ago had no money, now has room to maneuver. Milei's gamble proved to be a temporary success, allowing him to gain something even more valuable: time ,” the article notes, while also asking whether this time “will be different,” compared to previous frustrations in Argentina's history.

The special was funded by companies from a variety of sectors: technology, finance, agribusiness, and laboratories. Among them are 10Pines , Grupo Supervielle , Mirgor , Grupo IEB , GDM , Elea , Baufest , Balanz , Roemmers , Klimber , Veritran , and Bagó . Several of their executives offered complimentary statements about the new direction taken by the Argentine economy.

Claudio Porcel , CEO of Balanz, summed it up this way: “ The election of a liberal president, who openly campaigned on reducing the state, represents a cultural awakening. People are tired of inefficient public spending .” Daniel Sielecki (Elea) emphasized that “the key is to operate without unnecessary interference.”

The report focuses on sectors with growth potential such as Vaca Muerta , mining , agriculture , and the knowledge economy . Ignacio Bartolomé, executive director of GDM, emphasized that “ better access to credit would allow producers to adopt new technologies and increase productivity .” Similarly, José Luis Alonso (Mirgor) praised the resilience of Argentine businesses: “ If I had to describe Argentina's strength in a single word, it would be 'resilience.' ”

From the IEB Group, its president , Ignacio Abuchdid, stated that the performance of the stock market already anticipates a new economic cycle: " The strong performance of the markets has generated the equivalent of 50% of annual GDP in financial gains since November 2023. "

The article also includes statements from international economists and investors such as Emilio Ocampo, Eduardo Costantini, Marcos Brito , and executives from multinationals such as Chevron, Total, Syngenta, McEwen Mining, and First Quantum. All emphasize the new business climate and the need to sustain structural reforms.

In its final section, the article notes that "the turn of its people—placing their hopes in a marginal politician with a chainsaw in his hand—reveals the desire for change of a population fed up with the status quo." The publication closes with a reference to the country's immigrant spirit: "Their spirit, forged by hardship, shines like an indispensable lifeline."
