00:00Let's talk about inflation. It was 2.2% in the average country and the feeling that one has is that in the pocket it feels a little more.
00:08You say you don't believe in the index.
00:10No, I do believe it. It seems that methodologically it is unquestionable.
00:14Now, the index has become credible again for some time and I can assure you that, well, the inflation is 2.2%.
00:22It is the lowest in the government of my law and it is the lowest in the last four years.
00:29Did they expect less, Leo?
00:31Let's see, how much did they expect?
00:33Sorry, Horacio.
00:34All right. How much did they expect? The government expected that inflation, the consultants expected a little less.
00:40I'm going to answer, Marina, your question. There is a feeling that inflation is higher.
00:47And I tell you, let's see, what does inflation measure? Inflation is an average.
00:50Therefore, when we talk about an average, it is according to what you consumed, how much inflation hits you.
00:56I'm going to ask you a question. Maybe you went out to lunch, to dinner.
01:01I mean, to the middle class. Middle class, upper middle class.
01:06Maybe this time inflation hit you more.
01:08Why? Because inflation in that area was 5%.
01:13A lot.
01:14So, there it hits you.
01:15Now, if you bought clothes, it is the first time in years that it went down.
01:21But it really went down. It's not that it went down, that it grew less than the index. No, it went down. 0.7%.
01:27Inflation.
01:28Inflation, of course. It is cheaper to buy clothes in January than in December. It was cheaper.
01:34Now, be careful, because it is a big challenge for the government next month.
01:40That is, the month we are going through, because January was the lowest.
01:45But in February, we have a problem with meat, basically, which has risen a lot in recent times.
01:53Let's see, it has to do, among other things, with the climate.
01:56Of course. With the seasonal climate there.
01:58No, let's see, the problem is that it rained a lot.
02:00Of course.
02:01Cows do not live behind supermarkets, you see? They live in the field.
02:04Of course.
02:05Therefore, you have to bring them.
02:06In other words, the cow supply was lower in the markets.
02:11Well, let's see, first of all, that's why it went up 10%. And that implies a situation ...
02:17Is that the price of standing cattle or gondola?
02:19No, standing cattle.
02:20Because it went up 10%.
02:21It goes up 10%. Then it ends up moving the gondola in some way.
02:24Inflation. You have still delayed rates. You have issues that ...
02:28I mean, because it is true that the trend is down.
02:32But in people's pockets, from 2.7% to 2.2%, much does not change.
02:38It does not change.
02:39I say, when is inflation going to stop being news?
02:42Well, let's see, the reality is that the road is very long.
02:46It is not that simple. Because the first thing is easy to go down.
02:50It is not easy, but I say, the government I think did a good job to go down suddenly, fast.
02:55Yes, fast.
02:56You have to admit it.
02:57The fine part that comes now is much more difficult.
03:01Because then you start to delay some prices that you are going to end up increasing.
03:06Here is the key too.
03:08Did you see that the government refuses to say, no, devalue? No.
03:11Devalue, we do not devalue.
03:13What happens with that?
03:15If you devalue, all this is re-adjusted upwards.
03:19Inflation you will have it higher.
03:22It will be translated to prices.
03:23It will be translated to prices.
03:24But on the other hand, if they start to delay other prices, you have other problems.
03:28It is not so easy to correct.
