Un ajuste desproporcionado

TL;DR

  • The President decreed a 23% increase in the minimum wage.
  • This increase is expected to have negative consequences on inflation, interest rates, and the fiscal deficit.
  • Inflation is predicted to rise significantly above the previous year's 5.1%.
  • Interest rates may increase, negatively impacting individuals with loans.
  • The fiscal deficit is expected to increase due to higher pension payments and costs for public servants.
  • Contractors will see an increase in their social security contributions.
  • Combined with reduced working hours and potential labor reform costs, this may incentivize employers to reduce jobs.
  • The labor market, which had shown positive performance, could deteriorate.
