Have yet to travel to Argentina myself, but I’d like to in 2024 for a couple of months at least.

I’m wondering if those of you who are familiar with the situation could share your thoughts on how the change in leadership may impact DNs.

What Americans call a “Hail Mary” pass. When things are so bad you just throw the football as far as possible and pray one of your team is under it when it comes down. Good luck to them.

First off, having spent several months in Argentina, my wishes are for whatever’s best for my friends who live there — even if it means nomading in BA becomes more expensive for me.

Not sure if dollarization is the best strategy or if Millei will pull it off, but if Argentina becomes more expensive but also more stable, that would be fine with me. I’ve considered buying property and putting down roots there, but the political and economic instability was always the biggest drawback.

I agree. I hope it can become the expensive, thriving first-world country it deserves to be.

Keep in mind: Milei has to navigate a Congress opposed to his plans. His hands will largely be tied. There are a lot of unknowns still.

Short term: no effect tbh the political class is for the most parr against the new president so maybe a lot of political infighting.

Longterm: if the country adopts the dollar, it will get expensive to be there for the average DN living on 1.5k a month budget but that’s just me speculating.

For the average DN from the us/eu it will be business as usual in 2024

Dollar just provides stability. It doesn’t change the countrys economics overnight.

Long term whether it’s dollars or not doesn’t make things expensive. It provides stability.

Ecuador has used dollars how long ? Still one of the most affordable countries in LATAM.

stability is a huge factor in weather the economy succeeds or not
