Not to be a killjoy during the holidays, but #Argentina's inflation troubles have long been the brightest warning light on the dashboard. Given planned energy and transportation rate hikes next year, it is no surprise @fedesturze raised the target for 2018, from 12% to 15%.
I'm not sure what message @marquitospena intended to communicate by joining @fedesturze at today's announcement, alongside @NicoDujovne and @MinFinanzas's Luis Caputo, though perhaps it was designed to show support for the central bank president.

Either way, this was a tough moment for the administration.

They sold themselves as the best team in 50 years. A day after Congress approved the 2018 budget they changed the inflation goal by 50%, going from 8-12% to 15%. There is no plan, no predictability.
