- Caputo said the government does not expect exchange-rate volatility but that officials are preparing as if such volatility could occur.
- He launched sharp attacks on devaluation proponents, calling them “momias” who would push Argentina toward low wages, closed markets and subsidized prices.
- Caputo singled out Buenos Aires Governor Axel Kicillof for criticism over wage and productivity arguments and forecast President Javier Milei would win re‑election and push further reforms.
