Overview
- After the World Cup and winter recess, the executive plans to send a concentrated package of laws to Congress focused on the 2027 budget and fast-track reforms.
- Top items include the 2027 Budget, a Central Bank charter reform to bar Treasury financing, an expanded Inocencia Fiscal to repatriate dollars, an electoral overhaul targeting PASO, and a U.S.-style shutdown mechanism.
- The electoral reform, especially the plan to eliminate PASO, lacks firm support from allied blocs such as PRO and the UCR and faces fractured votes in the Senate, creating a potential bottleneck.
- The government is also discussing large infrastructure concessions and transfers to provinces as near-term stimulus to try to lift real activity and voter sentiment while polls show strong economic concern and a Milei re-election ceiling near the high 30s percent.
- With the Budget due by Sept. 15, the administration is racing to build governor and ally backing—led by Diego Santilli and Patricia Bullrich—while recent scandals and internal tensions have already slowed momentum.
