Argentine presidential candidate Patricia Bullrich wants both the dollar and peso to be official currencies.
This represents a different take versus full dollarization, a policy advocated by frontrunner Javier Milei.
"The peso and the dollar will coexist," Carlos Melconian, her chief economic advisor, said at the Bloomberg Economic Summit in Buenos Aires.
"There will be a complementary exchange rate regime that will be step by step, and will take inflation into account."
"There is going to be very severe and prudent macroeconomic policy in Argentina," Melconian said, according to Bloomberg.
