All right, Alexander, let's do an update on Malay and Argentina.

0:05.1

It looks like Malay needs a bailout, and it looks like the United States is prepared to give him a bailout.

0:12.9

He's already got money coming in from the IMF, so any money that is given to him by the United States is going to be a tacked on to the money that

0:23.0

has been given or that will be given to Argentina. So what happened to Malay?

0:27.4

Indeed. Well, can I say, first of all, that the amounts of money that the U.S. is giving are not

0:32.2

insubstantial. We're talking about $20 billion, apparently, which is equal to the current reserves of the Argentine

0:41.7

1:37.9

part of the business elite of Argentina. Macri's period as president was not, I think, especially successful.

1:52.0

And despite all of that, the policies that Millet has followed have been very similar to those

1:58.9

which Macri followed and which before Macri were followed

2:03.7

long ago, not so long ago actually, by an earlier Argentine president, President Carlos Menem,

2:11.4

who by the way was a president who came from the Peronist Party and whose appearance, general appearance, you know, side whiskers

2:19.5

and all of that, Millet seems to want to copy. So the idea is basically borrow money, lots of money
