Argentine President Javier Milei doesn’t see his government dollarizing the economy before next year’s mid-term elections, providing the first inkling of a timeline on his most ambitious economic proposal from the campaign.

“I don’t think we’ll get there before next year’s mid-term elections but the goal continues to exist,” Milei, who took office Dec. 10, told CNN en Espanol in a taped interview that aired Sunday night.
