President Javier Milei fiercely defended his administration’s economic trajectory, pushed for a sweeping reform of the Central Bank (BCRA) charter, and shared his expectations for Argentina’s upcoming World Cup quarter-final match against Switzerland on Saturday.

In an radio interview with Now 97.9 FM, Milei asserted that his policies have driven economic growth, claiming that consumption and export levels have hit “historic highs.”

During a Thursday Cabinet meeting, the President outlined the executive branch’s upcoming bill to reform the Central Bank, confirming it will be sent to Congress within the next few weeks.

“We deregulated, opened the economy, fostered human capital accumulation, and modernized the labor market,” Milei said. “This strategy is designed to make Argentina grow, and the reality is that the numbers are highly positive.”
