Despite ongoing debates surrounding the $LIBRA cryptocurrency, President Javier Milei and Economy Minister Luis Caputo marked a major economic victory: a fiscal surplus in January 2025.

📊 Key Highlights from the Economy Ministry Report:
$600 billion financial surplus in January, equivalent to 0.1% of GDP 📈
$2.43 trillion primary surplus (0.3% of GDP) despite tax cuts and tariff reductions
Revenue growth of 80.6% YoY, driven by:

  • Social Security contributions (+152.9%)
  • Income tax (+136.8%)
  • VAT collections (+92%)

🚀 Caputo’s Statement:
“What truly matters to people is that we achieved a primary surplus of $2.4 trillion and a financial surplus of nearly $600 billion—despite eliminating taxes and tariffs.”

🔥 Milei’s Response:
“OUR ANCHOR WILL NOT BE TOUCHED. Once again, we delivered a financial surplus (after paying interest)… VIVA LA LIBERTAD, CARAJO!”

💡 The Bigger Picture:
Argentina’s government is holding firm on fiscal discipline, ensuring macroeconomic stability while continuing key social programs, such as:
🔹 A 138% increase in food assistance 📈
🔹 A 500% expansion in child support through the Plan 1,000 Days 👶

Milei’s administration is proving that economic responsibility and social support can coexist—all while pushing for a smaller, more efficient state.
