Argentine economy chief frontrunner proposes Milei’s ‘shock’ therapy to banks – sources
BUENOS AIRES, Nov 24 (ANBLE) – In an electrifying meeting at the La Rural conference center in Buenos Aires, Luis Caputo, the Argentine former central banker and leading contender for the position of economy minister under President-elect Javier Milei, laid out his visionary economic plans. Surrounded by local and international bank officials, Caputo made it clear that “shock therapy” was on the agenda, leaving the financial world buzzing with excitement.
A Maverick with an Orthodox Twist
While Milei’s appointment has yet to be confirmed, signs pointing towards a more orthodox economic team and policies have sent shockwaves through the markets. Bonds have surged by an astonishing 14%, while equities have skyrocketed by over 40% since Milei’s triumphant run-off election victory last Sunday.
Caputo, a former finance minister and central bank chief during ex-president Mauricio Macri’s conservative government, is seen as the perfect match for Milei’s libertarian administration. Bold, daring, and unafraid of making tough decisions, Caputo’s presence brings a sense of stability and credibility. The Argentinean Former Central Banker Association (ADEBA) confirmed the success of the meeting, with its president, Javier Bolzico, acknowledging Caputo’s visionary ideas and his emphasis on fiscal balance.
A Shock of Epic Proportions
Caputo’s economic vision can only be described as a lightning bolt of reform, designed to tackle the staggering inflation rates nearing 150% and revive the economy from the depths of recession. He passionately declared, “Our approach is fiscal and monetary shock from day one. The roadmap is orthodox and without crazy things.” Caputo’s words resonated with the bank representatives who attended the meeting, assuring them of a comprehensive and market-oriented approach to stabilize the economy and rebuild negative net reserves.
The Road Ahead
While Caputo refrained from divulging all the details of Milei’s plans, he did signal rapid liberalization of currency controls and the imperative need for fiscal and monetary stabilization. However, he assured everyone that immediate dollarization was not on the horizon. Caputo emphasized the importance of implementing a rigorous stabilization program first.

Conquering Inflation and Curbing Leliq
Caputo’s top priority is clear: curbing inflation. Although he didn’t provide a step-by-step guide, his intense focus on this critical issue sends a strong message. One banking source even revealed that Caputo discussed plans to attack inflation head-on and reduce the burden of short-term notes known as Leliq held by the central bank.
The Market’s Expectations
Caputo’s extensive market knowledge and close interaction with the banking sector have made him a trusted figure, responsible for gauging their stance under the new government. With Milei’s team yet to provide an official statement, the financial world anxiously awaits further details.
