Melconian: "Obviously, as a result of PASO, the economy has won"

L & # 39; economist Carlos Melconian He said Friday that the country was going through an "economic transition" following the results of the OSP, and said that would have been the case if the ruling party won the primary. For the former president of the National Bank, "it is clear at this stage that the economy has played a very important role.The turning point of the current moment was the PASS.This is a call for attention structural economy.

"Therefore, I will not talk about political transition, but of economic transition. Even though he had won the decision this period was going to be an economic transition ", Melconian pointed out, in statements made this Friday in Tab radio, and reproduced by the agency Argentine News.

In addition, Melconian doubted that an agreement could be reached between President Mauricio Macri and Alberto Fernández on the link with the IMF. "The question of an agreement (for the government), is that it feels the harm you have done and if you say you will fight in the elections, will you sign an agreement that has the smell of giving up? "he stressed.

"The one who is in front of you (by Alberto F) does not want a big quilombo, he knows that doing the iron is coming in. What motivation does he have to sign an agreement? This requires a political clbad above of everything, "said Melconian. .

The economist commented that the Monetary Fund "had a short and long-term role." By December 10, the package that has been badembled is just until 2019, when it is missing 6 billions of dollars, but if they do not come in, there will be a problem. "

"The fund has a methodology, but they seem a little bit more of this methodology. Finally, regardless of this relationship with the Fund, the 50,000 sticks must be returned in 2022-2023 and I do not know if Argentina has a market for that ", he added.

On the other hand, he stressed the "moderation" of the candidate for the Presidency of the Front of All: "It's something very precious, I get up and applaud the statements regarding the payment of debt, non-shares, the value of the exchange rate," expressed.

Alberto Fernández: "We are the ones who solve the crisis"

For the economist, "we are going from ironing to iron, everything goes on." The moderation in the statement is worth a lot, and is part of the strategy, but I hope someone thinks If I'm going to pay the debt, how? If I'm going to keep the exchange rate, how? "

"Be careful not to repeat the mistakes, to make the right diagnosis, this administration of President Macri started with an incorrect diagnosis," he said.
