The economic program in "breaking point"

It has been reached the "break point" of an economic program. This happens when none of the measures taken is sufficient to contain the escalation of relevant variables of the economy: exchange rate, price and interest rate. It is clear that neither the sale of the reserves of the Central Bank nor the increase of the reference rate of monetary instruments constitutes an obstacle to Argentine financial badets.

Essentially because economic agents perceive the exhaustion of the current design, distressed by the unsustainability of its over-demanded external sector and nothing, and as a result, they anticipate the arrival of a new regime that ensures the viability of the economy.

The first factor that validates the "rupture" of the actions undertaken under Cambiemos's government and the transition to another scenario is the announcement of the restructuring of the public debt of short and long term made by the minister Hernán Lacunza yesterday afternoon.

Many shared responsibility to ignore in the future.

As a result, the Central Bank may continue to sell international reserves to other claimants, leaving sovereign debt holders to one side.

Argentina is not only plunged into an uncertain debt restructuring process, I decided suddenly but The drainage of BCRA reserves will continue finance the financial recovery.
