Argentina Needs to Slow Inflation, Central Bank Chief Says

Argentina needs to slow inflation without hurting domestic demand to sustain the country’s economic growth, central bank President Mercedes Marco del Pont said.

“The big challenge is to seek heterodox tools to bring about lower inflation without suppressing demand,” Marco del Pont said at a seminar in Buenos Aires today. “We will take all the needed decisions but without sacrificing gains we’ve made in this process that started 10 years ago.”
