A more hostile opposition in Congress adds legislative risk. The outcome hinges on whether economic deterioration accelerates before the vote.

Argentina: Milei's Austerity Measures Increase Poverty, Threaten Electoral Prospects

Austerity measures implemented by President Milei, including public-sector wage cuts and subsidy removal, have led to a surge in poverty among middle and lower classes, eroding his electoral support. This development, coupled with adverse economic data and a hostile Congress, poses a significant domestic political risk ahead of upcoming elections. The government internally acknowledges poor economic indicators but anticipates a recovery by March-April 2027, while Milei publicly dismisses recession narratives.
