Le président argentin Javier Milei annonce le premier excédent public depuis 2008

Le président argentin Javier Milei a annoncé lundi que le pays avait enregistré son premier excédent public trimestriel depuis 2008 et salué un “exploit historique”.

Au premier trimestre 2024, l’État argentin a enregistré un excédent d’environ 275 milliards de pesos (309 millions de dollars au taux officiel), a déclaré M. Milei sur la chaîne de télévision nationale.

“C’est le premier trimestre avec un excédent financier depuis 2008”, a-t-il affirmé, faisant référence à la première année du gouvernement de sa rivale politique de gauche Cristina Kirchner.

Il s’agit d'”un exploit aux dimensions historiques à l’échelle mondiale”, s’est vanté le président, arrivé au pouvoir en décembre.

“Si l’État ne dépense pas plus qu’il ne perçoit et n’a pas recours aux émissions (de monnaie), il n’y a pas d’inflation. Ce n’est pas de la magie”, a ajouté M. Milei, un économiste ultralibéral qui se définit lui-même comme un “anarcho-capitaliste”.

Le président a promis de ramener le déficit budgétaire à zéro, un objectif plus ambitieux que celui imposé par le Fonds monétaire international (FMI), avec lequel l’Argentine a conclu un accord de prêt de 44 milliards de dollars.

A cette fin, il a lancé un programme d’austérité draconien qui comprend la paralysie des travaux publics, le licenciement de fonctionnaires, la fermeture d’administrations, la réduction des subventions et le gel du budget, alors que l’inflation atteint 290% par an et que la moitié de la population vit dans la pauvreté.

“N’espérez pas une issue grâce à la dépense publique”, a averti M. Milei.
