The World Bank's Global Economic Prospects report, released Thursday, highlights a fragile outlook as inflation, trade disruptions, geopolitical tensions and policy uncertainty weigh on momentum.
The global economy is expected to stay stuck at 2.7% growth in 2025-&#8217;26, a pace too weak to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">drive real economic progress.</a>
Emerging markets, which power 60% of global expansion, are no longer closing the gap with advanced economies as quickly as they once did. 
Yet, some are bucking the trend, with a few poised to grow above 5%, offering rare opportunities for investors in an otherwise sluggish environment.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Argentina's Rebound Under Milei's Reforms</h1>
Argentina's economy is staging a comeback, with GDP expected to expand 5% in 2025 and 4.7% in 2026. This sharp rebound follows two years of contraction, driven by a steep currency devaluation and trade imbalances.
"Argentina has seen significant improvements in activity in commodity-related sectors, including agriculture, energy and mining," the World Bank said in its report. The country's trade surplus has also grown, helped by a sharp drop in imports following the peso's depreciation.
President Javier Milei's sweeping economic reforms — focused on slashing government spending, deregulating industries, and stabilizing inflation — are beginning to take hold.
Investor confidence is returning, fueling a 78% surge in the Global X Argentina ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARGT#NYSE">ARGT</a>) over the past year. 
The fund has already attracted more than $700 million in inflows since mid-January 2024.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Indonesia: Stable Growth At 5.1%</h1>
Indonesia, Southeast Asia's largest economy, is expected to grow 5.1% in 2025, supported by strong domestic consumption and exports of palm oil, coal, and other commodities.
Despite solid economic growth, the iShares MSCI Indonesia ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EIDO#NYSE">EIDO</a>) has struggled, posting a 14% decline over the past year. 
This weakness reflects concerns over global commodity demand and capital outflows from emerging markets.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Philippines: A 6.1% Expansion Fueled By Services</h1>
The Philippines is on track for 6.1% GDP growth in 2025, according to the World Bank. This growth is fueled by its booming services sector, particularly business process outsourcing and remittances from overseas workers. 
Government-backed infrastructure spending is also providing a lift.
Yet, the iShares MSCI Philippines ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EPHE#NYSE">EPHE</a>) has underperformed, slipping 4.6% in the past year. 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Vietnam's Manufacturing Strength</h1>
Vietnam is expected to be one of the fastest-growing economies in 2025, with a projected 6.6% expansion. 
"Vietnam's growth spell was both transformative and inclusive," the World Bank said, noting the country ranks among the top emerging markets in achieving sustainable development goals.
The manufacturing sector remains the backbone of Vietnam's economy, benefiting from foreign direct investment and a shift in global supply chains away from China. 
However, the VanEck Vietnam ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VNM#NYSE">VNM</a>) has struggled, dropping 11% over the past year, reflecting broader volatility in emerging markets and China&#8217;s economic slowdown.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">India: The Growth Powerhouse</h1>
India, the world's fastest-growing major economy, is expected to expand 6.7% in 2025. Though slower than the 8.2% growth recorded in 2023, the country's economic engine remains strong, powered by resilient consumer spending and steady services activity.
Higher inflation and slower credit expansion have dampened urban consumption, but long-term fundamentals remain intact. 
The iShares MSCI India ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INDA#BATS">INDA</a>) gained 4% over the past year, outperforming many other emerging market funds.
Investors continue to back India's growth story, with over $800 million of inflows over the past year.

Five Emerging Economies Poised For 5% Growth In 2025: Should You Buy These ETFs?

Javier Milei took office as the President of Argentina in December 2023 and took his trademark chainsaw to the country's economic policies. Interest in several Argentina-based stocks has been rising as his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/12/42513867/elon-musk-praises-argentinas-31-spending-cuts-under-milei-but-what-about-the-recession">drastic reforms take hold. </a>
What To Know: Milei, a self-described anarcho-capitalist, has implemented significant economic reforms since he took office almost exactly one year ago. He cut spending on government programs, including healthcare, welfare, and education, substantially and dismissed more than 30,000 government employees. 
Argentina's monthly rate of inflation has come down from 25% in December 2023 to 2.4% in December 2024 and the country achieved a fiscal surplus for the first time in 15 years.&nbsp;

While Milei&#8217;s policies have reduced inflation and boosted market performance, they have also led to increased poverty and unemployment rates, with significant challenges for the working class. However, a Gallup poll conducted at the one-year mark of Milei&#8217;s presidency shows his personal approval rating at 48%. 
Businesses in Argentina appear to be thriving under Milei's administration, with the country's stock market, as measured by the S&amp;P Mervel Index, up more than 175% in 2024.
The Global X MSCI Argentina ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARGT#NYSE">ARGT</a>), which invests in companies with exposure to Argentina and tracks the MSCI All Argentina 25/50 Index, has gained more than 65% year-to-date.&nbsp;
MercadoLibre, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MELI#NASDAQ">MELI</a>), a Latin American e-commerce company based in Argentina, is up 10% this year and shares of YPF SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/YPF#NYSE">YPF</a>), an Argentina-based oil and gas company, have soared more than 150% in 2024.&nbsp;
Analysts at BBVA Research <a href="https://www.bbvaresearch.com/en/publicaciones/argentina-economic-outlook-december-2024/">said that after</a> a brief recession in 2024, fourth-quarter data showed improvements which are complemented by renewed confidence in Argentina's government.&nbsp;
BBVA Research sees a recovery for the economy in 2025 driven by private consumption and investment,&nbsp; "creating a positive outlook for 2025."

Benzinga Market Summary: PPI Readings Come In Below Expectations, Broadcom Shares Rise On Earnings, Argentina Stocks Gain On Approval Of Reforms Package

Editor&#8217;s note: This story has been updated with additional details.
Multiple stocks on the New York Stock Exchange experienced sudden trading halts after 9:40 a.m. ET Monday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/nyse">due to technical issues.</a>
The unexpected pauses in trading were triggered by a technical issue categorized under the &#8220;Limit Up/Limit Down&#8221; code, which is typically used to curb excessive volatility in a single stock.
The NYSE said it is investigating the reported technical issue. &#8220;Additional information will follow as soon as possible,&#8221; NYSE-owner Intercontinental Exchange Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICE#NYSE">ICE</a>) stated. 
Among the largest companies halted on Monday were Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) at 9:50:52 a.m. ET and Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>) at 9:44:58 a.m. ET. 
Chipotle shares experienced a sudden and dramatic decline of 66%, plummeting from $3,097 to $1,047. The stock resumed trading at 10:21 a.m.
At 9:49 a.m., ET shares of Berkshire Hathaway faced an even more severe downturn, nearly being wiped out with a staggering 99.7% collapse from $622,375 to $185.10. As of this update, trading has not yet resumed for the company owned by Warren Buffett.
Monday&#8217;s technical malfunctions on the NYSE occur just one week after U.S. stock exchanges transitioned to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/39039375/t-1-settlement-era-on-trading-begins-what-you-need-to-know">one-day settlement period.</a>

Berkshire Hathaway, Chipotle, More NYSE Stocks Hit With Trading Halts Triggered By Technical Issues (UPDATED)

&#8220;I recommend investing in Argentina&#8221; — a few words from Elon Musk on social media platform X bolstered Argentine assets to new heights, underscoring investor confidence under new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38659381/elon-musk-meets-bitcoin-supporting-president-javier-milei-again-i-recommend-investing-in-a">President Javier Milei&#8217;s administration.</a>
The Global X MSCI Argentine ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARGT#NYSE">ARGT</a>), which tracks the performance of leading Argentine stocks, registered over a 1% increase shortly after markets opened in New York. 
This marks the ETF&#8217;s eighth gain in nine sessions, culminating in a 54% rally since Milei&#8217;s election victory in November 2023.
The bullish sentiment extended to Argentine fixed-income assets, particularly dollar-denominated bonds. Notes maturing in July 2030 spiked to 55 cents on the dollar, more than doubling their value since the election of the libertarian President, who many now regard as having a Midas touch on the nation&#8217;s financial market.
Investor optimism has been particularly robust within the banking sector. Shares in major Argentine banks like Banco Macro S.A. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMA#NYSE">BMA</a>), Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GGAL#NASDAQ">GGAL</a>), and Banco BBVA Argentina S.A. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAR#NYSE">BAR</a>) soaring by more than 100% since the start of the year.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Argentina&#8217;s Central Bank Slashes Rates As Monthly Inflation</h3>
Earlier this month, Argentina&#8217;s central bank made a significant move by cutting the benchmark interest rate by 10 percentage points to 50%. 
This adjustment, the fifth since December and third in three weeks, was prompted by a noticeable slowdown in monthly inflation. 
At the end of 2023, the monthly inflation rate in Argentina surged to 25%, indicating a perilous path towards hyperinflation. 
March&#8217;s inflation data revealed a slowdown to 11% month-over-month, lower than the anticipated 12.1%.
In addition, Milei&#8217;s administration bolstered the country&#8217;s fiscal measures. In the first quarter of the year, Argentina achieved the first budget surplus in 16 years. 
&#8220;If the state does not spend more than it collects and does not issue (money), there is no inflation. This is not magic,&#8221; Milei stated.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">IMF Commends Argentine Efforts</h3>
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has praised Argentina for its &#8220;ambitious stabilization plan,&#8221; noting the country&#8217;s progress in restoring macroeconomic stability, as Julie Kozack, head of the Communications Department at the IMF, said in April. 
With improved fiscal management, rebuilding of international reserves, and better-than-expected inflation control, Argentina is seeing positive changes in key economic indicators.
In February, the IMF approved an immediate disbursement of $4.7 billion to Argentina, part of a larger effort to support the country&#8217;s economic reforms. This brings the total IMF disbursements under the current arrangement to approximately $40.6 billion.
Looking ahead, the Argentine government&#8217;s commitment to fiscal discipline and inflation control sets a promising course for continued economic recovery. With international support and robust policy measures, Argentine assets could continue to witness the continuation of their bullish momentum.

Elon Musk Endorses Argentine Stocks; Bond, ETF Rally Persists In Wake Of Milei's Election Victory

TSLA

Argentina Presidential Spokesperson Says Milei To Visit Tesla Factory In U.S., Meet Elon Musk This Week

Argentine stocks surged in Tuesday&#8217;s session following lower-than-predicted February inflation figures and an unexpected move by the central bank, which slashed interest rates by 20 percentage points down to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/argentina">80% a day earlier.</a>
The Global X MSCI Argentine ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARGT#NYSE">ARGT</a>), which tracks the performance of an index of Argentine stocks, closed 1.3% higher, snapping a three-day losing streak.
Government data published on Tuesday revealed that in February, consumer prices experienced a 13.2% rise from the preceding month, which was lower than the 15% gain anticipated by economists. 
On an annual basis, price pressures escalated by 276.2%, marking the sharpest increase since Argentina emerged from hyperinflation in the early 1990s.
According to a government statement, the monthly inflation slowdown is the result of the fiscal discipline implemented by the new administration.
President Milei remarked that the work of Finance Minister Luis Caputo &#8220;is remarkable,&#8221; as reported by local newspaper <a href="https://www.lanacion.com.ar/politica/javier-milei-celebro-el-dato-de-la-inflacion-el-trabajo-de-caputo-es-formidable-nid12032024/">La Nacion</a>. 
In the same vein, he asserted that he &#8220;won&#8217;t yield even an inch&#8221; in his fiscal adjustment plan. 
&#8220;We are going to return to respecting the zero deficit in February, despite a drop in revenue. We have continued with the plan of the chainsaw and the blender; the decrease in public spending is 36%. We won&#8217;t give up even a millimeter,&#8221; Milei stated.
Prior to the inflation data, the Central Bank of the Republic of Argentina (BCRA) slashed interest rates from 100% to 80%, bringing the cost of money to the lowest level in nearly a year. 
Central Bank President Santiago Bausili highlighted that &#8220;a pronounced slowdown in inflation is observed,&#8221; despite the strong statistical drag that inflation brings to its monthly averages.
Policymakers observed a reduced impact compared to initial expectations from December&#8217;s currency intervention on the inflation outcomes.
In the coming months, the authorities of the BCRA will focus on the evolution of core inflation, in view of the announced adjustments to regulated tariffs for public services. 
Milei Contemplates Dollar&#8217;s Inclusion as Legal Tender Alongside the Peso
Caputo stated Tuesday at the AmCham Summit 2024 in Buenos Aires that lowering inflation is the government&#8217;s primary objective. 
He also remarked on Milei&#8217;s ongoing pursuit of a &#8220;competition of currencies,&#8221; envisioning the inclusion of the U.S. dollar as legal tender. 
He highlighted that the currency competition scheme aims to swiftly collapse inflation. This came after he celebrated the government&#8217;s fiscal outcome. 
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is receptive to discussing a new program to replace Argentina&#8217;s existing $44 billion program, potentially involving additional funding, Caputo says.

Argentine Stocks Surge As Central Bank Slashes Rates By 20% Following Inflation Slowdown: Milei Pushes For Dollar Legal Tender

Argentine stocks experienced a surge on Thursday following rumors that the country is in discussions with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/argentina">for a new program.</a>
This initiative aims to secure additional funding, accelerating Argentina&#8217;s departure from its stringent capital controls, as reported by <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-02-29/argentina-is-said-to-be-negotiating-new-aid-program-with-imf?sref=TBDibEcD">Bloomberg</a> citing a senior government official, who preferred to remain anonymous. 
The official revealed that the IMF is advocating for a quicker depreciation of the Argentinian currency under its &#8220;crawling peg&#8221; system. Additionally, the Fund is urging Argentina to maintain its interest rates above the current inflation rate, which has alarmingly reached approximately 250%.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Milei Assures Exit From Capital Controls By Mid Year</h3>
In an <a href="http://ft.com/content/4d789837-0408-4513-a0d7-0d6ce5a8c740">interview </a>with the Financial Times, Argentina&#8217;s newly-elected President Javier Milei conveyed his determination to advance reforms without the necessity for congressional approval, especially post-2025.
Milei&#8217;s strategy, as he states, aligns with academic recommendations and aims to eliminate dollar exchange controls by mid-year, potentially marking a &#8220;turning point&#8221; for Argentina. 
Despite potential challenges, Milei dismissed the likelihood of social unrest during his tenure, except in cases of foreign infiltration.
President Milei&#8217;s administration is keen on removing capital controls, with the IMF&#8217;s support being viewed as a crucial accelerator in this process. Milei believes that cleansing the central bank will pave the way for lifting exchange restrictions, a milestone the IMF estimates could be achieved by mid-year. 
However, Argentina&#8217;s economic landscape is under severe stress, with inflation spiraling uncontrollably. The country recorded a staggering 250% increase in its consumer price index in January 2024, marking the most significant inflationary jump in 33 years. 
Amid these challenges, Argentina&#8217;s ongoing financial obligations to the IMF loom large, with an outstanding debt of approximately $44 billion from a previous arrangement that failed to stay on course.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Response</h3>
The anticipation of a fresh agreement with the IMF led to a notable uptick in Argentine stocks on Thursday. The Global X MSCI Argentina ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARGT#NYSE">ARGT</a>) saw a 2.2% increase, with its principal holding, MercadoLibre Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MELI#NASDAQ">MELI</a>), experiencing a 2% rise during early morning trading hours in New York. 
Banco Macro S.A. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMA#NYSE">BMA</a>) emerged as the top gainer among Argentine&#8217;s American Deposit Receipts (ADRs), marking a surge of over 6%.
Since Milei&#8217;s electoral win, Argentine stocks have soared by nearly 20%. However, the momentum has plateaued over the last three months, as Milei administration&#8217;s reform initiatives have encountered significant resistance within the Argentine Congress, posing challenges to the government&#8217;s ability to implement its proposed changes swiftly.

Rumors

Argentine Stocks Rebound As President Milei Eyes Potential New IMF Deal, Exit From Capital Controls

Argentine President Javier Milei delivered a fervent defense of free-market capitalism and issued a stark warning about the perils of socialism at the World Economic Forum Wednesday, invoking the economic principles of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/economics">Nobel laureate Milton Friedman.</a>
&#8220;The Western world is in danger&#8221; because its defenders are co-opted by &#8220;a vision of the world that inexorably leads to socialism and thereby to poverty,&#8221; Milei said.
Milei, a staunch libertarian, argued that capitalism, not socialism, holds the key to eradicating global hunger and poverty. &#8220;Free trade capitalism as an economic system is the only instrument we have to end hunger, poverty, and extreme poverty across our planet,&#8221; he said, challenging the notion that the state is the solution to economic woes.
Drawing on historical data, Milei highlighted capitalism&#8217;s role in drastically reducing global poverty over the last two centuries. Ninety-five percent of the world&#8217;s population lived in extreme poverty in 1800, a figure that plummeted to 5% by 2020, he said. This, according to Milei, is a testament to the effectiveness of the capitalist model. Elected as Argentina's president in November, Milei took the reins from a leftist administration amid rising hyperinflation in the country. Milei initiated a peso devaluation exceeding 50%, aiming to match the peso with the rates of a substantially devalued parallel market. Earlier this month, International Monetary Fund staff and Argentine officials agreed on the seventh review under the nation's $44-billion extended fund facility arrangement, which will grant Argentina to access approximately a tranche of $4.7 billion.
Argentine stocks, as tracked by the Global X MSCI Argentina ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARGT#NYSE">ARGT</a>), have rallied by more 20% since Milei&#8217;s victory.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Milei Critiques Socialist Policies, Taxes At Davos </h2>
The Argentine leader said his country&#8217;s experience is an empirical demonstration of how socialist policies can lead to economic downturns regardless of a nation&#8217;s inherent wealth or resources. Milei pointed out that despite Argentina&#8217;s natural resources and skilled population, the adoption of socialist models has not resulted in prosperity or progress.
The Argentine leader took a firm stance against the notion of social justice as propagated by socialist ideologies, denouncing it as inherently unfair and violent due to its reliance on coercive taxation. 
&#8220;The higher the tax burden, the higher the coercion and the lower the freedom,&#8221; Milei said, emphasizing the need for a smaller state apparatus and greater economic freedom.
Milei encouraged entrepreneurs, lauding them as the true drivers of progress and prosperity. He reassured them of Argentina&#8217;s unwavering support, urging them not to be deterred by state intervention. 
&#8220;If you make money, it&#8217;s because you offer a better product at a better price, thereby contributing to general well-being. Do not surrender to the advance of the state. The state is not the solution. The state is the problem itself. You are the true protagonist of this story, and rest assured that, as from today, Argentina is your staunch, unconditional ally,&#8221; Milei said.

Argentina's Milei Condemns Socialism At Davos, Warns Against 'Left-Wing Doctors' Attacking Capitalism

Argentine President Javier Milei raised the stake on Thursday, announcing plans to dismantle &#8220;sooner or later&#8221; the country&#8217;s central bank. This radical remark, revealed in an interview with Radio La Red, aligns with Milei&#8217;s ultra-libertarian ideology and fulfills a bold campaign promise that could push Argentina&#8217;s economic<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36597688/argentinas-inflation-was-around-200-in-2023-and-it-could-get-worse-in-2024-new-leadership-says-it-wi"> landscape towards the dollarization. </a>
&#8220;They voted us to govern and put the Argentine economy in check. Surveys on the image and government measures are accompanying us. We have set a course and we are fulfilling it,&#8221; Milei stated. This declaration comes amidst a backdrop of soaring inflation and significant economic challenges.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Argentine&#8217;s Inflation Runs Out of Control: Up Over 200% In 2023</h2>
Data released in December 2023 reveals a shocking inflation increase, recording a monthly rise of 25.5% and an annual jump of 211.4% — Argentina&#8217;s highest in 30 years. These figures place Argentina behind only Venezuela, among Latin American countries, regarding price hikes in 2023. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="495" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/11164652/ARIRYY_2024-01-11_20-46-36_9d7ff-1024x495.png" alt="" class="wp-image-179929" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/11164652/ARIRYY_2024-01-11_20-46-36_9d7ff-1024x495.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/11164652/ARIRYY_2024-01-11_20-46-36_9d7ff-300x145.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/11164652/ARIRYY_2024-01-11_20-46-36_9d7ff-768x372.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/11164652/ARIRYY_2024-01-11_20-46-36_9d7ff-1536x743.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/11164652/ARIRYY_2024-01-11_20-46-36_9d7ff.png 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
However, the inflation spike is mainly attributed to the devaluation of the peso, which plummeted 50% against the dollar in November, a move orchestrated by Milei&#8217;s Finance Minister Luis Caputo in his first day of office. 
Despite these alarming numbers, Milei had previously stated that a 25% inflation rate would signify a successful implementation of his government&#8217;s economic policies.
The Global X MSCI Argentina ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARGT#NYSE">ARGT</a>) saw a modest increase of 0.2% following the inflation data and Milei&#8217;s remarks. This ETF, which tracks Argentine stocks, has risen roughly 20% since Milei&#8217;s election win in November. However, it has dipped by about 9% from its December peak, following the Argentine Congress&#8217; tempering of some of Milei&#8217;s more radical economic proposals.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Argentina Reaches Agreement With IMF</h2>
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced Wednesday to have reached a staff-level agreement with Argentine authorities on the seventh review under Argentina&#8217;s EFF arrangement, totaling $44 billion. Pending approval by the IMF Executive Board, Argentina could access approximately US$4.7 billion.
The IMF has praised President Milei&#8217;s quick and decisive actions to implement a robust policy package aimed at restoring macroeconomic stability. 
They anticipate that the initial stages, including the elimination of legacy price controls and the correction of FX misalignment, will lead to inflationary pressure and a deeper contraction in activity. 
However, they expect a gradual disinflation process, accompanied by a strengthening external position and eventual recovery in output, demand, and real wages.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Milei Heads To Davos </h2>
Milei is scheduled to attend the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, from Jan. 15-19, 2024. This event brings together political and business leaders from around the globe, offering Milei a platform to showcase his unconventional economic strategies on the world stage.

Argentine President Milei Shocks With Plan To Dismantle Central Bank Amid Skyrocketing Inflation, IMF Backs Move

Argentina&rsquo;s inflation rate was&nbsp;around 200% in 2023, <a href="http://www.reuters.com/world/americas/barbecue-off-menu-argentina-inflation-nears-200-2024-01-11/">according</a> to Reuters. Food prices in particular rose much faster than anticipated, making it hard for everyday citizens to afford basic staples like<a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/barbecue-off-menu-argentina-inflation-nears-200-2024-01-11/" style="text-decoration-line:none"> </a>meat and vegetables.<a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/barbecue-off-menu-argentina-inflation-nears-200-2024-01-11/" style="text-decoration-line:none">&nbsp;</a>
For many Argentines, this will not be their first battle with hyperinflation. In the &#39;90s, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/argentina">Argentina</a> experienced inflation that reached more than 2,000% annually, <a href="http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/fandd/2000/03/pou.htm">according</a> to the International Monetary Fund<a href="https://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/fandd/2000/03/pou.htm" style="text-decoration-line:none">.&nbsp;</a>
Last November, Argentine citizens elected political outsider Javier Milei as the country&rsquo;s new president in a run-off election. Milei, who has a background as an economics professor, ran his campaign on bringing inflation down. His message resonated especially well with young adults who grew up during the hyperinflationary period in the &#39;90s.&nbsp;

But, Milei has said it would&nbsp;take time for his administration to bring inflation lower. Milei has only been in office for about a month&nbsp;and things could get<a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/barbecue-off-menu-argentina-inflation-nears-200-2024-01-11/" style="text-decoration-line:none"> worse before they get better. </a>One Argentine economist believed&nbsp;inflation could reach 500% this year, <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/news/argentina-poised-surpass-venezuela-200-100000837.html">per </a>Yahoo Finance.&nbsp;
Part of Milei&rsquo;s efforts to curb inflation has been to cut back on government spending and subsidies. Some experts believe this could have the opposite effect and lead to higher prices for consumers in the short term. But, Milei plans to cut many government programs&nbsp;and hopes that without high government spending, inflation will cool in the long run.&nbsp;
Price Action:&nbsp;Overall, investors appear to be not too concerned with the economic situation in Argentina. Global X ETF&#39;s MSCI Argentina ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/argt#NYSE">ARGT</a>) is still up nearly 10% in the past six months. Other companies with significant exposure, like MercadoLibre Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/meli#NASDAQ">MELI</a>) are also trading higher in the last six months. But, some individual names were hit in the last month, such as&nbsp;Telecom Argentina SA (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/teo#NYSE">TEO</a>) and Banco Macro SA ADR&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bma#NYSE">BMA</a>).&nbsp;

The platform significantly enhances Caja de Valores&#39; ability to meet immediate operational and performance needs, future proof the business, and position it to capture new growth opportunities.
The launch is the culmination of a multi-year, major change program, which began with Caja de Valores recognizing the potential benefits of modernizing its legacy infrastructure to support the continued growth and institutionalization of Argentina&#39;s capital markets.

With Milei&#39;s Economic Reforms, Gaucho Holdings Eyes Growth In Argentina&#39;s Markets

뉴욕 증권 거래소(NYSE)의 여러 주식들은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/nyse">기술적 문제</a>로 인해 월요일 동부 표준시 오전 9시 40분 이후 갑자기 거래가 중단되었다.
이번 예상치 못한 거래 중단은 일반적으로 단일 주식의 과도한 변동성을 억제하는 데 사용되는 &#8220;상향 한도(Limit Up)/하향 한도(Limit Down)&#8221; 코드로 분류된 기술적 문제로 인해 촉발되었다.
NYSE는 보고된 기술적 문제를 조사 중이라고 밝혔다. NYSE 소유주인 인터콘티넨탈 익스체인지(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICE#NYSE">ICE</a>)는 &#8220;추가 정보가 최대한 빨리 나올 것&#8221;이라고 밝혔다.
월요일에 급작스러운 거래 일시 중단을 당한 대기업들 중 일부는 동부 시간 오전 9시 50분 52초에 버크셔 해서웨이(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)와 9시 44분 58초에 치폴레 멕시칸 그릴(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>)이 포함됐다.
치폴레의 주가는 3,097달러에서 1,047달러로 66%의 갑작스럽고 극적인 하락을 경험했다. 해당 주식은 오전 10시 21분부터 거래를 재개했다.
오전 9시 49분, 워런 버핏이 소유한 버크셔 해서웨이의 주식은 훨씬 더 심각한 하락에 직면했다. 주가는 622,375달러에서 185.10달러로 99.7%라는 엄청난 폭락으로 거의 소멸될 뻔했다.
월요일의 NYSE 기술적 오작동은 미국 증권 거래소가 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/39039375/t-1-settlement-era-on-trading-begins-what-you-need-to-know">1일 결제 기간</a>으로 전환된 지 불과 일주일 만에 발생했다.
