First, it is important to highlight for people no familiar with Argentina that the current yearly "Milei" inflation is above 40% and it could be difficult to go much below. This inflation takes into account a very basic basket. The current inflation is very high and the country is in a recession. This is just a macroeconomic measure beyond Milei and its legacy.

Then, sorry, you are mistaken about historical inflation rates and you can check that easily [1]. Comparing just one year of government inflation as a data point is not enough to extrapolate, and I haven't started talking about carry trade that gives investors more than 10% per month in USD. Last time that happened, just two governments ago and with The same guy, there was a crash one day.
