Technopols and their contribution to volatility

According to the economist Pablo Tiganithe rise in the dollar is due to the proposals of the pre-candidates for president, such as Javier Milei, Patricia Bullrich and Horacio Rodríguez Larreta.

Tigani explained that Bullrich implied that there would be no investments and we would have to get ahead with our own savings“what sounds like playpen”. For her part, Milei proposes alternatives such as closing the Central Bank, which would cause a run on deposits, and that of carrying out a bonex plana long-term bond swap that would lose value quickly to people with deposits.

“Rodríguez Larreta, for his part, believes that the market can be freed and that it puts the value of the dollarr, but this can be very dangerous because the value of the dollar may not have a ceiling and the salary of the workers would be pulverized”, Tigani pointed out in statements to PROFILE.

Maximilian Ramirezformer Undersecretary of Economic Programming, agrees with Tigani and believes that the rise in the dollar is also due to the speculative tone of companies and of the people who seek to cover themselves from any political proposal such as becoming a dollar or a discreet jump in the exchange rate.

According to IMF criteria, any country with more than 70% debt over GDP begins to be unsustainableTigani concluded.

The effect of the CPI that pushes the parallel

“The dollar soaring could be divided into parts. First we see a big jump in nominality with inflation data for March of 7.7%. Afterwards, it must be taken into account that the crawling carried out by the BCRA in the first part of April it is also located at 7%. This added to the last RIPTE data that was above 7%, we already have some factors What justifies the rise in exchange rates?Ramirez commented.

“What can be seen in the latest economic data is that nominality went from 6% at the end of February to 7% in March, so relative prices were distorted in particular that of the parallel dollars”, added the former Undersecretary of Economic Programming.

Exchange rates are accommodating

“There is an upward trend in the exchange rates that are being accommodated by the new levels of nominalityRamirez said.
