The Milei administration announced on Friday that it would close all state news agency Télam’s correspondent offices in the country. The 2024 World Press Freedom Index released on Friday revealed that press freedom in Argentina has worsened significantly since Milei took office. The ruling concluded that the plaintiff “lacked the necessary standing to create a case.”For two months, Télam workers have been camping outside the agency’s headquarters in Buenos Aires. They have created a website called Somos Télam (“We are Télam”) to showcase their work and struggle. On their X account, the workers argued that the ruling does not validate Milei’s mega-decree nor grant the government the right to close Télam or any other state media outlet.

Argentina’s Central Bank decreased the annual nominal benchmark interest rate to 50% on Thursday. In December, the Central Bank board decided that the annual benchmark interest rate would be equal to that of one-day repo transactions.

With the benchmark interest rate at 50% and no Central Bank-imposed minimum rate, their nominal rate is expected to be close to 40%. With the lower interest rate, the government expects investors to buy the Letras Capitalizables (Lecap), a financial instrument issued by the Economy Ministry.
