S&P Chief LatAm Economist Reported To Be Joining Milei’s Economic Team

ARGENTINA
  • The incoming Economy Minister Luis Caputo announced Thursday on platform X that Joaquin Cottani, S&P’s chief economist for Latin America, will join the incoming government’s economic team.
  • Separately, Argentina won’t join the China-led BRICS bloc during Javier Milei’s presidency, his incoming top diplomat said, underscoring the significant foreign policy shift his administration plans once in office.

    • Speaking to journalists at an event earlier in Buenos Aires, Mondino cast doubt on the value of the group, which includes China and Brazil, Argentina’s top two commercial partners. (BBG)
