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.
