Central bank Keep the Central Bank Earlier: Close the Central Bank, 2025
Said
His reform of the Central Bank's charter gives the bank the single mission of preserving the value of the currency.
“En primer lugar, se termina con la bestialidad de cinco objetivos para un instrumento y la misión fundamental del Banco Central vuelve a ser el del preservar el valor de la moneda.”
Our translation In the first place, the brutality of five objectives for one instrument comes to an end, and the fundamental mission of the Central Bank becomes once again that of preserving the value of the currency.
Earlier: Close the Central Bank
Said
Once dollars far outnumber pesos, the government can close the Central Bank.
“El resultado es que cada vez va a haber más dólares y va a haber un momento en que van a ser tantos los dólares respecto de los pesos que, ese día, si se nos da la gana, podemos cerrar el Banco Central y liberarlos de los políticos ladrones de acá a la eternidad.”
Our translation The result is that there will be more and more dollars, and there will come a moment when there are so many dollars relative to pesos that, on that day, if we feel like it, we can close the Central Bank and free you from the thieving politicians from here to eternity.
Public spending Sharp cuts, zero deficit
Said
Cutting public spending comes first, because without it there is no surplus and no lasting tax cut.
“Y nos mantenemos a rajatabla en un orden de acción muy claro: sin recorte en el gasto público no hay superávit, sin superávit no hay baja de impuestos sostenible, y sin baja de impuestos y desregulación, la competitividad se queda estancada y no hay quien invierta.”
Our translation And we hold strictly to a very clear order of action: without a cut in public spending there is no surplus, without a surplus there is no sustainable tax cut, and without tax cuts and deregulation, competitiveness stagnates and no one invests.

Labour law More flexible labour law
Said
His Labour Modernisation Law ends a labour regime he calls obsolete, litigious and inflexible.
“También conseguimos la Ley de Modernización Laboral para terminar con un régimen laboral obsoleto, litigioso e inflexible que empujó a la mitad de los trabajadores a la informalidad.”
Our translation We also got the Labour Modernisation Law to put an end to an obsolete, litigious and inflexible labour regime that pushed half of workers into informality.
