Argentina’s Economy Minister Sergio Massa said the country can grow above 3% this year while still slowing its sky-high inflation.

“You can fight inflation and get spending in order without chilling the economy and putting forward painful adjustments,” Massa said in a rare interview published Sunday in the Perfil newspaper. Gross domestic product climbed “quite far above” 5% last year, he said.
