Las propuestas de Sergio Massa para llegar a la Presidencia de Argentina cuando sea el candidato oficialista

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:09:26 GMT

(CNN) –– El actual ministro de Economía de Argentina, Sergio Massa, ya lo dijo en una entrevista con medios locales: “El problema hoy es que tengo los dos sombreros puestos, el de la campaña presidencial y el de la gestión”. Esto podría verse como una desventaja o como una posibilidad de mostrar con hechos lo que vendrá en caso de quedarse con el sillón de la Casa Rosada.Sin embargo, los datos parecen no ayudar. La gestión de Massa en la cartera económica carga con un aumento de 37 puntos en la inflación interanual, que en el mes de junio alcanzó el 114%, y una moneda que se devaluó alrededor de un 100% en relación al dólar oficial desde su asunción hace poco menos de un año.Sin olvidar que, además, el precandidato carga con el desgaste de ser parte de los cuatro años del actual gobierno que, según la mirada de muchos analistas, no contentó ni a propios ni a ajenos.¿Quién es Sergio Massa?

Ruble touches 99 to the US dollar, continuing the Russian currency’s monthslong fall

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:09:26 GMT

The Russian ruble, which has been steadily losing exchange value in a long fall since the beginning of the year, hit 99 to the dollar in Friday trading, its lowest level since the early weeks of the Ukraine war. In January, the ruble traded at about 66 to the dollar but lost about a third of its value in subsequent months amid continuing concern about the Russian economy.After Western countries imposed wide sanctions in the wake of the February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, the ruble plunged to as low as 130 against the dollar, but the Russian Central Bank enacted capital controls that stabilized its value. By last summer, it was in the 50-60 range to the dollar. International sanctions cut off a significant part of imports to Russia, which Central Bank deputy director Alexei Zabotkin said has contributed to the ruble’s fall. “Activation of domestic demand also contributes to an increase in demand for imports, which, with limited exports, results in a weakening of the ruble, whic...
