"Argentina could be worst - Like Siria or Lebanon"

EL CRONISTA: Economist Diana Mondino issued a strong warning about the pace of the Argentine economy, noting that "it is imploding" and could even lead to a "worse" scenario, such as in Syria or Lebanon.

“The economy is imploding, we are melting as a country. Restrictions on imports, for example, are paralyzing the production line of companies large and small”, she remarked in dialogue with Radio Rivadavia.

According to Mondino, who according to Ejes de Comunicación ranked eighth as the economist most listened to by Argentines in 2021, the worst "has not happened yet."

In this sense and by focusing on the factors that could "implode", he insisted: "The worst thing would be an increase in inflation and unemployment, which we would easily see."
