Argentina's Senate narrowly passed President Javier Milei's sweeping economic reform bill, delivering a tentative legislative victory to the right-wing leader even as protesters clashed with riot police. Lawmakers in Argentina's upper house on Wednesday voted 37 to 36 to approve the bill after a marathon debate, with Vice President and head of the Senate Victoria Villarruel casting the deciding vote in favor of Milei's economic measures. The reform bill is a core tenet of Milei's push to revive the country's crisis-stricken economy. "Today there are two Argentinas," Argentina's vice president said, according to Reuters.

Argentina is allowing commercial banks to open deposit accounts in the Chinese yuan. The country is facing a drastic shortage in the US dollar, a major currency used in global trade. The Central Bank of Argentina said in a Thursday statement on its website that it is allowing the Chinese yuan as a form of currency in savings and checking accounts. The move complements the country's securities regulator announcing that Argentina can issue securities in the Chinese currency, the central bank added. Javier Milei, a leading presidential candidate, has proposed replacing the peso with the greenback as Argentina's local currency to tame inflation.
