Milei Defends Austerity: 'Picture Horrible, Movie Best in History'

Argentine President Javier Milei acknowledged that inflation is falling slower than expected and admitted ongoing economic hardship, but claimed poverty has declined since he took office. The statement is a defensive posture amid persistent economic pain, with the government's credibility hinging on future disinflation. The admission of slower-than-expected disinflation signals potential policy risk if market confidence erodes.

The government's ability to sustain fiscal discipline without triggering a deeper downturn is a key uncertainty.
