Argentina’s Patricia Bullrich would pursue a currency regime where the peso and dollar exist together as legal tender if she wins the presidency, according to her chief economic adviser Carlos Melconian.
“The peso and the dollar will coexist” if Bullrich is elected, Melconian said Tuesday at the Bloomberg Economic Summit in Buenos Aires. “There will be a complementary exchange rate regime that will be step by step, and will take inflation into account.”
