Do you think Argentina will use the United States dollar (USD)?

  • Argentina hasn't adopted the dollar faster because the nation's politicians 'play dirty,' President Milei says
    "They probably would have accused us of some monkey, shady business and would have sent us to prison," President Milei said on dollarization.

  • I think the main problem that if they will start using USD now

    then people from US could buy lot of land, property and all that in Argentina

    because the prices would be 'small' for them


    Argentina should somehow think how to rebuild themselves first

    of course but think about more this way that with same currency and Milei's plans people from US will be more than welcome in Argentina


    let's say person from Argentina can buy an apartment

    then person from US come, and they can buy 10 of those apartments


    and I'm saying this as person from Poland and to buy 1 USD, I need to have 4


    and you need 860 argentinian peso to buy 1 USD


    you can go here to compare prices

    Do you mean 10 apartments from different apartment complexes or 10 apartments from the same apartment complex in that example?

    Adopting the US dollar won't make any difference in relative wealth between citizens of the two countries. The idea is to stabilize the currency, stop inflation, and prevent Argentinian politicians from misusing currency expansion to secure political support.


    Naturally, the old Peronistas hate this idea, since that was the core of their political platform for many decades.


    The only problem is that US politicians are doing the same thing with the dollar, so Argentina may just be postponing the inevitable. If Milei really wants to freak out the looters he should introduce a gold-backed currency - which might attract investors from all over the world who are seeking stability. Taking away the politicians' ability to loot the productive capacity of the nation though currency manipulation could quickly make Argentina wealthy again, and return it to the status it had in the 1920's when it was considered one of the great up-and-coming nations of the world.

    You know currency exchange is a thing, right? This wouldn't make anything in Argentina cheaper than it already is, someone who currently owns a certain number of pesos would simply own a lot less dollars. If anything, other countries using our currencey will just make our own inflation worse.
