Government message to 57 foreign ambassadors: Argentina's economy will rebound after the elections

On a day when the country risk exceeded 800 points, the government sought to give a sign of tranquility and certainty to foreign diplomacy with a message of discreet optimism: He said that the Argentine economy would take off after the elections, once political uncertainty would be lifted.

This was openly declared this afternoon by the Chief of Staff Marcos Peña; The Minister of Finance Nicolás Dujovne and the Chancellor Jorge Faurie at an in camera meeting they held at Casa Rosada with 57 ambbadadors and business leaders of the foreign diplomatic corps who is in Argentina.

"Our president and the entire government team are very determined to be able to embark on a path of profound change, more than ever during a difficult year like this" said Peña, confirming that the economic situation will improve over the next few months.

Among the priorities of the government that marked Peña this year are: "Maintaining a high level of dialogue, social peace, institutional and serenity to face the elections," said the head of ministers seconded by the secretary in Strategic Affairs, Fulvio Pompeo. .

Although the chief of staff repeated his sentence, "we do not think that there are magic solutions or tools used in the past by Argentina", Minister Dujovne admitted that real improvements in the economy will only be visible after the elections. These data drew attention to many ambbadadors who had listened to the Argentine government itself in March or April to improve the economy.

To ensure that Dujovne's message does not give rise to any debt, the head of the cabinet concluded: "Many Argentineans can not imagine the day of the elections with the return of Argentina in terms of freedom, institutional quality, openness to the world , a country capable of developing and thinking about the future, "he said.

Although it was a meeting scheduled in advance and part of the annual meetings organized by Casa Rosada with the entire foreign diplomatic corps, the meeting was the prelude to what will be a difficult election campaign and a when Argentina is going through a difficult period. difficult economic and social situation.

"We listen to an optimistic government, who said he would not move his economic plan and believed that the improvement of the economy would occur after the elections, "he said.

Peña issued a detailed political message and stressed that the government of Macri today "is better off than in the 2015 elections".

Thus, he gave an explanation for this optimistic badessment: when they came to power in 2015, they found "a country economically devastated" and if Cambiemos won the elections in December, there would be a president who would follow his mandate with a country "better placed than before". "

To prove that the economy will improve, the Minister of Finance pointed out that in many places of the country strong impact of the field, harvest results will be favorable.

Whatever the case may be, the chief of staff and Mr. Dujovne told foreign ambbadadors that the "economy" will not be the most important "election.
