After Argentina’s Elections: Reset or wreckage?
After an election process that produced three right-of-centre candidates, the second round represented a direct contest between two implausible contenders: Economy Minister Sergio Massa, the most public face of a deeply unpopular government and the man at the helm of a looming economic crisis, and far-right libertarian Javier Milei, a volatile media personality promising to eliminate the Central Bank and cut diplomatic ties with China, Brazil and even the Vatican. Just as implausibly, the main conservative opposition coalition, whose candidate failed to make the run-off, formed an uneasy run-off alliance with Milei, prompting the likely end of the coalition and a reset of the political landscape.
With a divided Congress, a Central Bank empty of reserves, the risk of devaluation and IMF pressures over missed targets, the months following the elections look likely to be little more predictable than the pre-election period.
Join us for a webinar on November 21, when we will discuss issues including:
- Will political relations stabilise or fragment further once the new government takes office on December 10?
- What is the future of former Presidents Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and Mauricio Macri after the election outcome?
- Will the economy stabilise or deteriorate further?
- What is the outlook for the investment climate?
