La pobreza continúa descendiendo. La pobreza en Argentina se ubicó en 31,6% durante el primer semestre de 2025, según la medición publicada por el @INDECArgentina, lo que significa una baja interanual de 21,3 puntos porcentuales respecto del primer semestre de 2024. Asimismo, la indigencia también tuvo una fuerte baja interanual, ubicándose en 6,9%, frente al 18,1% del primer semestre de 2024.

TRIPLE CRIMEN: BULLRICH PIDIÓ NO TRATARLO COMO UNA CUESTIÓN DE GÉNERO La ministra de Seguridad dijo que “no vamos a entrar en la politización de que es un tema de género. En este caso son tres mujeres, podrían haber sido tres hombres, es una metodología mafiosa". Además, cuestionó a su par bonaerense, el ministro Alonso de Buenos Aires, por difundir información del asesinato de Brenda del Castillo (20), Morena Verdi (20) y Lara Morena Gutiérrez (15): "Hay que ser prudente en cómo se transmite la información de lo que realmente pasó", advirtió. Agregó: "La causa está bajo secreto de sumario. No hay información oficial que se pueda transmitir. Lo que dijo el ministro Alonso no se conoce con certeza". En relación a ese tema, también dijo que "la provincia de Buenos Aires es el lugar con la tasa más alta de femicidios del país. Tiene que ver con la destrucción del tejido social de la provincia de Buenos Aires". (+) en Clarín: clar.in/46I1PsZ

Yesterday, @POTUS and I spoke extensively with President @JMilei and his senior team in New York.  As President Trump has stated, we stand ready to do what is needed to support Argentina and the Argentine people. Under President Milei, Argentina has taken important strides toward stabilization. He has achieved impressive fiscal consolidation and a broad liberalization of prices and restrictive regulations, laying the foundation for Argentina’s historic return to prosperity. The @USTreasury stands ready to purchase Argentina’s USD bonds and will do so as conditions warrant. We are also prepared to deliver significant stand-by credit via the Exchange Stabilization Fund, and we have been in active discussions with President Milei’s team to do so.   The Treasury is currently in negotiations with Argentine officials for a $20 billion swap line with the Central Bank. We are working in close coordination with the Argentine government to prevent excessive volatility. In addition, the United States stands ready to purchase secondary or primary government debt and we are working with the Argentine government to end the tax holiday for commodity producers converting foreign exchange.   Argentina has the tools to defeat speculators, including those who seek to destabilize Argentina’s markets for political objectives. I have also been in touch with numerous US companies who intend to make substantial foreign direct investments in Argentina multiple sectors in the event of a positive election outcome. The Trump Administration is resolute in our support for allies of the United States, and President Trump has given President Milei a rare endorsement of a foreign official, showing his confidence in his government’s economic plans and the geopolitical strategic importance of the relationship between the United States and Argentina. Immediately after the election, we will start working with the Argentine government on its principal repayments. I will be watching developments closely, and the Treasury remains fully prepared to do what is necessary.
