Argentina's government is planning a sweeping overhaul of the legal framework governing its central bank. President Javier Milei's next major reform aims to rewrite the charter that governs the institution.
According to Rio Times, the government has pledged to advance the reform by September at the urging of the International Monetary Fund. The plan's central goal is to define the bank's single legal duty as guarding the value of the currency.
The move on central bank independence is being presented as part of Milei's strategy to fight inflation. Investors are watching closely how the reform could affect monetary policy and pressure on the peso.
