Abstract: 
Recent economic developments in Argentina give rise to several interesting observations about the workings and effects of economic policies. Of particular interest, of course, are the dramatic changes in inflation as a consequence of the economic policies of the newly elected President Javier Milei. Here, we briefly describe these policies and try to assess how much they contributed to this outcome. As a reference, we use indicators of monetary policy, which are conventionally considered to be of decisive importance in combating inflation. Although we cannot provide a formal test for the importance of different policies, it seems that policies which restored fiscal soundness were the decisive factor.
