Diego Esquivel relocated to Neuquén, Argentina, following the boom in the energy sector under President Javier Milei's economic policies. His salary tripled, allowing him to afford college expenses for his daughter, which was previously unattainable in Buenos Aires. Milei's policies have led to a significant reduction in poverty levels and an improvement in the economy, with inflation decreasing from near 300% to around 30%.
However, while investors are optimistic about Milei's economic model, the benefits of these investments have not yet reached the average Argentine in urban areas. Over 32,000 businesses have closed since Milei's presidency began, with job losses and rising utility bills exacerbating economic inequality. Despite his government's relatively low approval rating, Milei remains optimistic about the country's future, emphasizing that Argentina's economic growth is still a "best movie in Argentina's history."
