Argentine President Millay vowed to abolish capital and foreign exchange controls. Argentine President Millay promised to abolish capital and foreign exchange controls next year, and his government intends to negotiate a free trade agreement with the United States after Trump takes office. The difference between the black market exchange rate and the official exchange rate in Argentina has been narrowing, and even nearly disappeared in recent weeks, which helps the government to deregulate more easily. Millay announced that in order to solve the debt mountain problem of the central bank, Argentina will either sign a new agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to replace the existing $44 billion agreement or reach an agreement with private investors. "This brings us closer to the final abolition of capital control every day. Capital control is an abnormal phenomenon that should not have happened, and we will put a permanent end to it next year," Millay said in a national televised speech on Tuesday, accompanied by cabinet members. Millay said that from now on, Argentines will be allowed to pay, sell and earn income in any currency they want, but the peso will continue to be used for tax payment. Earlier on Tuesday, Millay said it would take four years to close the central bank, one of his main campaign promises.The minimum acceptable price of the two-year national debt issued by the Ministry of Finance in Hong Kong is 100.62 yuan.
