In this episode of Current Account, Clay is joined by Kezia McKeague, Regional Director for Latin America at McLarty Associates and IIF's Martín Castellano, Head of Latin America Research, to unpack the results and implications of Argentina’s recent midterm elections.

The conversation explores President Javier Milei’s strengthened political mandate, the role of U.S. financial support in shaping the electoral outcome, and how markets have responded. Kezia and Martín also discuss the short- and medium-term risks to Milei’s economic stabilization plan, including persistent inflation, a widening current account deficit, and pressure on real wages and growth. Finally, the discussion considers whether this moment marks a turning point for reform in Argentina and broader Latin America.

This IIF Podcast was hosted by Clay Lowery, Executive Vice President, Research and Policy, with production and research contributions from Christian Klein, Digital Graphics and Production Associate and Miranda Silverman, Senior Program Assistant.
