President Javier Milei participates this Thursday in the event for the 172nd anniversary of the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange, where he delivers a speech before businessmen, investors, officials, and capital market leaders. The ceremony focuses on financial education and the development of the stock market.
The first to speak was Adelmo Gabbi, president of the Stock Exchange, who expressed his confidence in the country's future and reaffirmed his support for the economic direction promoted by Milei. “Argentina is once again on the growth radar, they are looking at us from abroad. And in football, don’t even mention it,” Gabbi stated, referring to the Argentine national team's qualification for the final of the 2026 World Cup.
After Gabbi's remarks, Milei began his speech with a defense of property rights and highlighted their importance for recovering savings and investment. "It is not redundant that we are sending a law to Congress to declare the inviolability of property rights. Property rights are what will allow us to save, invest, and become a power again,” the President asserted.
From that premise, the President focused the core of his presentation on economic growth, as he had anticipated in the opening after Gabbi highlighted the historic opportunity that Argentina is experiencing under the liberal management of the Argentine state.
Milei pointed out that one of the foundations of the economic growth projected by his administration lies in the policies promoted by the Ministry of Human Capital. “For the first time in Argentina's history, social assistance has stopped being about giving people fish and is now about teaching them to fish,” he stated.
During his presentation, Javier was interrupted by a shout from the audience while explaining the relationship between savings, fiscal balance, and growth. “If you have a society that squanders money, that does not save, no matter how much income it generates, it will not be able to grow. If you have a populist government that generates a 15-point fiscal deficit, you will crash,” he asserted.
