Special episode – Argentina's election: Shock result...shock therapy?

Does the surprise victory of Javier Milei in Argentina's presidential election mean the country is about to experience a raft of unorthodox economic policymaking to fix its ailing economy?

In this special episode of The Capital Economics Weekly Briefing, Chief EM Economist William Jackson and Deputy Chief EM Economist Jason Tuvey get to grips with the potential risks around the election outcome and whether Javier Milei has what it takes to turn around the Argentine economy.
