The Argentine peso has jumped 25% in three months against the dollar in one key exchange market.
AdvertisementArgentina's President Javier Milei still hasn't dollarized the economy as promised, but he has managed to do something that's possibly more shocking: strengthen the peso.
This currency has been one of 2023's most devalued tenders, and yet it's now become the top currency against the dollar.
In the past three months, the peso has surged 25% in the blue-chip swap market, one of Argentina's key foreign exchanges.
It's also ironic that Milei has come to lead the peso out of tougher times, given his loud disdain for the currency last year.
