Milei's "10 bills a month" reform blitz: central bank reform and a "fiscal shackle"
ArgentinaSouth AmericaOn the globe
Milei announced a legislative blitz running at roughly ten bills a month, anchored by central-bank reform placing permanent limits on monetary emission. The novel piece is the "grillete fiscal" ("fiscal shackle"): if a prolonged deficit triggers the regime, non-essential state activity freezes and the president, ministers and legislators stop drawing salaries until it lifts.
The UK debate over fiscal rules is stuck on OBR forecasting conventions; Milei is proposing rules with automatic enforcement and personal consequences for politicians.
