Argentine President Javier Milei outlined fresh details of his currency strategy Tuesday, a key and necessary first step before his government expects to return to capital markets in 2026.

Milei said his government would adopt a “flexible” exchange rate on the peso after it lifts capital controls at an undetermined time. It’s the first inkling that the libertarian intends to implement a more orthodox currency policy after dismantling the controls he inherited after taking office last December.
