Národohospodářské dopady prvního roku vlády Javiera Mileie v Argentině (2023-2024)

The bachelor’s thesis analyzes the macroeconomic impacts of the first year of President Javier Milei’s administration in Argentina (2023–2024). It focuses on fundamental reform measures in the areas of fiscal and monetary policy, deep structural reforms, and extensive deregulation. The thesis identifies the main economic outcomes of these measures, including the achievement of a primary surplus, a decline in the inflation rate, and a significant reduction in public expenditures. Through the analysis of macroeconomic indicators, qualitative research conducted among Argentine citizens, and the synthesis of perspectives from various economic schools of thought, the thesis offers a comprehensive view of the consequences of so-called shock therapy under conditions of economic crisis. The added value of this work lies in the connection of theoretical frameworks with Argentina’s current economic reality, as well as in the author’s own interpretation of the developments from the perspective of different economic theories. Its originality stems primarily from the qualitative research, which captures the attitudes and experiences of citizens across income and age groups. The findings contribute to the existing knowledge on the effects of radical economic reforms in a highly indebted country and offer inspiration for potential application in countries facing similar structural challenges.
