Argentine President Milei has acknowledged slower-than-expected disinflation and economic growth, marking a shift from prior optimistic rhetoric. While international reserves have increased, the economy faces a potential technical recession due to weak consumption and stagnant activity, posing risks to Milei's reform agenda. Confidence in the government's ability to sustain fiscal anchors without a deeper downturn is medium.
