The Minister of Finance, Dário Durigã, attacks again.
This time he decided to call Javier Millet a clown and explain why the Argentine economy is worse than Brazil's.
Desconhecido
The president of Argentina's clown came to Brazil yesterday.
Desconhecido
And he spoke about Brazil, when the country risk for Argentina is much higher, public debt is much higher, inflation there is much higher.
Desconhecido
His argument is basically the following: Argentina has higher inflation, higher country risk and higher debt.
Desconhecido
The problem is that Durigan takes today's snapshot and simply throws the whole film in the trash.
Desconhecido
Because it's obvious that if you take a country that spent decades destroying its own currency, as was the case with Argentina, and compare it with Brazil, several indicators... Argentines will be worse off.
The right question is another one.
How did Milley receive Argentina and how is he handing it over?
And how did Lula receive Brazil and how is Lula handing it over?
Then the conversation changes a lot.
Let's look at the data.
Desconhecido
Let's start only with inflation.
Desconhecido
When Milenio took office, Argentina was coming from annual inflation of 211%.
Desconhecido
Today inflation is at 33% a year.
Desconhecido
In December 2023, prices rose 25% in a single month.
Desconhecido
In June 2026, monthly inflation was 1.9%.
Desconhecido
You have to be really dumb to look at inflation falling from 211% to 33%?
Desconhecido
And say that the government is wrong on the economy.
Now let's go to country risk.
At what level did he receive Argentina's country risk?
Around 1,930 points?
Today it's in the neighborhood of 400.
It's a drop of approximately 80% in the risk of investing in the country.
Moody's, S&P and Fitch recently improved Argentina's credit rating.
Desconhecido
Let's take a look at the debt issue.
Desconhecido
And this is where things get even better.
Desconhecido
Better for Argentina, of course.
Desconhecido
Durigan says Argentina's debt is much higher.

Desconhecido
About: compare public debt between countries using a consistent methodology
Alright, shall we use the same methodology for both countries?
Desconhecido
Because comparing countries' debt using different criteria is that freestyle statistics, right?
Desconhecido
You pick the number you like and... and then I'll explain the method.
According to the IMF's World Economic Outlook, general government gross debt projected for 2026 is 70% of GDP in Argentina and 96% of GDP for Brazil.
I'll repeat because maybe someone at the Ministry of Finance blinked.
Argentina, 70%.
Brazil, 96%.
Put it big on the screen, editor, so it's visible.
Desconhecido
So here's a suggestion for next time.
Desconhecido
Before calling other presidents clowns, maybe it's a good idea to open Excel.
Desconhecido
Because under the methodology of the Brazilian Central Bank itself, the story isn't pretty either.
