Argentina records its first monthly budget surplus in 12 years. Economic policy changed completely with the arrival of the new Argentine president to power.
He lowered the exchange rate of the peso, which raised inflation, but his government said that it achieved a surplus in the monthly budget during the past month. The government said late on Saturday that January was Javier Milli's first full month in power after taking office in December, and he ended with a positive public sector finance budget of $589 million in surplus.
