Miguel Kiguel: "The opposition wants the government to devalue, but the next administration will have to do it"
There are two unknowns that plague investors.
One has to do with the government's ability to get through the elections with the economy more or less under control, and the other with the margin of the next administration to make a harsher adjustment.
For the ex-Secretary of Finance, Miguel Kiguel, Sergio Massa will advance a "partial" devaluation with multiple exchange rates, but without paying the "cost" of the adjustment that the opposition demands.
"There will not be a devaluation, we will have many exchange rates, a soybean dollar 3 that will be $67 pesos higher than the current one, there may be another dollar for tourism, where US$ 500 million per month are lost, they talk about the Malbec dollar, they are not going to devalue the official one, they are going to continue creating exchange rates and they will send tourism, imports and exports, it is a devaluation in fact, but they are not going to call it that to preserve the narrative," said the economist.
The director of the consultancy Econviews analyzed the panorama during a talk on the economy and the elections organized by the financial group Adcap, of which Javier Timerman and Paula Gándara are part.
In this context, he referred to the tensions with the opposition, which in a month published three statements to denounce that the Frente de Todos will leave a "bomb" and that the debt swap agreed with the banks will cause a greater "inflationary jump".
"The opposition wants, if it can, that the government pay the cost of the adjustment. This is devaluation and inflation and the impact that it can have is a social cost for the people on the street," he said.
And he asked himself: "Can you do populism and spend more? You don't have a lot of space, there are no reserves, the dollar is going to rise very quickly, so they want to spend, but they need to arrive with the economy in good shape and that limits them from doing things crazy, the situation is very fragile".

After the announcement of the "malbec dollar" by the Minister of Economy Sergio Massa in Mendoza, Misiones stepped on the accelerator to obtain a differential dollar for four products that are pillars of its economy: yerba mate, tea, wood
and tobacco
.
Governor Oscar Herrera Ahuad admitted that he had contacts with Massa all weekend and assured that "we are on the right track" to achieve the benefit as of April, the same period in which the differential dollar for wine would start.
"We hope that soon we can announce it in a specific way for the province of Misiones," added Herrera Ahuad after inaugurating a school in Posadas.
It is not yet defined if the four productive chains will be able to export with the same reference value or if each one will be managed with a different price, since they face different realities.

Amid falls in bonds and shares, the Central Bank sold US$ 52 million
This Tuesday the market had started calmly and with good prospects after the announcement of the debt swap in pesos that Minister Sergio Massa agreed with the banks to kick off the 2024 and 2025 debt maturities for $7 trillion.
Bonds opened higher both in pesos and in dollars and the blue dollar came to pierce the floor of $370 for a few hours.
But the international scene played against.
Following comments by the Chairman of the United States Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, who suggested that interest rates could rise more than expected, international markets fell and dragged down emerging markets.
In this framework, the Merval yielded 2.57%, under the impact of the wave of the Dow Jones that lost 1.7%.

Expoagro: the debt swap got on the agenda and generated a spicy debate
The debt swap in pesos launched by the government on Tuesday continues to raise a stir among economists of different political beliefs.
The discussion moved yesterday to Expoagro, where the financial firm Allaria organized a panel led by Marina Dal Pogetto, Emmanuel Alvarez Agis and Hernán Lacunza.
It was a racy discussion, which held the attention of about 300 people who packed into a tent (some sitting on the ground) with little air conditioning.
"Offering a dual bond that gives the creditor the option to choose between devaluation and inflation, whichever suits them best, is expensive. If we give them the option to sell the bond at any time, it is directly a user operation" Lacunza said.
