I'm John Bachelor with my good colleagues on Esther O'Jow and Joseph O'Mire.

You go to Argentina.

The price of meat is very high, and Reuters has a story saying people have cut back on their beef consumption

But then again this is the land of beef and

beef consumption is wonderful to celebrate eating steaks but not for breakfast.

So I'm paying attention to the numbers.

Inflation is remarkably coming down quickly.

Also, people still are struggling to pay for fundamentals.

It's a result of years, decades of abuse of the public hill.

Ernesto, I start with you.

Do you measure that Javier Malay is having success,

is that other countries in the Americas are watching his

success and seeing how he celebrated when he travels. Is he becoming

something to envy a model for other leaders in the Americas?

Yes, John, he's becoming a model and I think many people are in despair regarding that because

the discourse on the left was, oh, those crazy liberal policies won't work.

So that's what they were rooting for.

Also, the policies of aligning Argentina with the Democratic West and

taking distances from China for example they say oh you can't do that. China is so economically important

and Malay is doing that and the economy is doing fine.

So you have many people in the Americas, I mean watching the inflation figures in Argentina and saying,

oh, go up for the love of God go up go up and that's not
