- On Friday he is scheduled to speak at the Council of the Americas in New York on “New opportunities for investment in Argentina,” before traveling to Bolivia for Rodrigo Paz Pereira’s inauguration.
- The Central Bank has formalized a $20 billion swap with the U.S. administration, and the government says it is negotiating an additional $20 billion loan with Wall Street banks to cover 2026 debt maturities.
- In Miami, Milei defended capitalism, warned against socialism, coined “riesgo kuka” to describe perceived market risk from kirchnerismo, and urged Americans not to be swayed by New York’s local election of Zohran Mamdani.
- He touted government‑reported investment announcements above $100 billion, said more than $50 billion are pending approvals, and pledged a December push on labor, tax and penal reforms under what he calls the most reformist Congress.
