國際時事跟讀 Ep.K644: Argentina's Dilemma: The Love for Dollars and the Pesos' Future
In Argentina, the allure of the US dollar is strong, as citizens grapple with rampant inflation exceeding 100% and a relentless devaluation of their local currency, the peso. María Barro, a 65-year-old domestic worker in Buenos Aires, exemplifies this struggle. Each month, she converts her peso salary into dollars as a safeguard against the eroding value of the peso.
在阿根廷，美元的誘惑力很強，因為市民們正在努力應對超過100％的嚴重通貨膨脹和當地貨幣披索的不斷貶值。瑪麗亞·巴羅（María Barro）是一名居住在布宜諾斯艾利斯的65歲家政工，她體現了這種掙扎。每個月，她都要將她的披索薪水換成美元，作為對披索不斷貶值的保護措施。
However, the fate of the peso now hangs in the balance, as Javier Milei, a libertarian radical, emerges as a formidable contender in the upcoming presidential elections. Milei, who faces stiff competition from both right-wing and left-wing traditional candidates, has made the bold promise of dismantling the central bank and adopting dollarization, making Argentina the largest experiment of its kind in Latin America.
然而，披索的命運現在岌岌可危，自由主義激進份子哈維爾·米萊伊（Javier Milei）在即將到來的總統選舉中嶄露頭角。米萊伊將面臨來自傳統的右翼和左翼候選人的激烈競爭，他大膽承諾解散中央銀行並實行美元化，使阿根廷成為拉丁美洲進行此類實驗中規模最大的國家。
Barro acknowledges the appeal of a dollarized economy but remains undecided about Milei's aggressive approach, marked by frequent expletive-laden outbursts against opponents, including the Pope. The debate over Milei's dollarization proposal has polarized opinions. Supporters argue that it offers a solution to the staggering inflation, while critics view it as impractical, fearing the loss of control over interest rates and money supply.
巴羅承認美元化經濟的吸引力，但對米萊伊的激進方式持保留意見，後者經常對包括教皇在內的反對者大放厥詞。米萊伊的美元化提案引發了兩極化的爭論。支持者認為這是解決驚人通貨膨脹的方法，而批評者則認為這是不切實際的，他們擔心會失去對利率和貨幣供應的控制。
Juan Napoli, a Senate candidate from Milei's party, Liberty Advances, concedes that Argentina is not yet prepared for full dollarization and suggests a gradual transition over a span of nine months to two years. He underscores the need for political consensus and sufficient reserves.
米萊伊所屬的自由進步黨的參議院候選人胡安·納波利（Juan Napoli）承認，阿根廷還沒有準備好全面實施美元化，建議在九個月到兩年的時間內進行逐步過渡。他強調需要政治共識和足夠的儲備。
Dollarization has been attempted in various forms in other countries, with outcomes ranging from success to abandonment. Argentina had a brief experience with dollar pegging in the 1990s, which ultimately ended in crisis and currency devaluation. The nation's potential full-scale dollarization would be a unique and colossal endeavor, given its size and economic significance globally.
美元化在其他國家以不同形式嘗試過，結果從成功到放棄不等。阿根廷在1990年代曾經短暫實行美元鎖匯，但最終危機爆發，貨幣貶值。如果全面實行美元化，將是一個獨特且龐大的嘗試，考慮到其在全球的規模和經濟重要性。
Despite the country's challenges, some Argentines remain skeptical of dollarization, fearing dependence on th
