Minister of Economy Luis 'Toto' Caputo stated that Argentina is at an economic and political inflection point that will allow for a 'spectacular' 2026 with unprecedented growth in decades. In his speech to the country's leading business leaders, he expressed confidence in growth prospects not seen in decades. Caputo emphasized that the current economic course is not just a monetary and fiscal program but a 'deep cultural transformation' that society ratified in the 2025 elections. He noted that the recent legislative elections marked a decisive political turning point: 'We are now the largest minority in the Chamber of Deputies, which gives us much greater capacity to carry out structural reforms and to counter the destabilization attempts by the opposition.' The minister stressed that the parliamentary consolidation of La Libertad Avanza is seen as a political mandate for the transformations already underway. He also stated that the country has had governments with vision, but no president has ever 'had the courage to carry it out with determination.' Caputo assured that 'the train has already left,' and urged everyone to get on board because 'the most difficult part is already done.' He promised that 'we are going to buy reserves as much as we can.' The climax of his speech was his emphatic message: 'I believe a new cycle is coming.'
