"These reforms, of which I mentioned only 30 out of over 300, are included in the emergency decree we signed today," Milei said in his address to the nation.
"The goal [of the reforms] is to start on a path to restructure our country, to give it back its freedom and start removing a huge number of barriers that postpone economic development," he said.
The president said the reforms include privatization, export liberalization, a shift away from price controls and other measures.
"But this is only the first step. In the coming days, we will convene an emergency parliament meeting and send them a package of laws asking them to move forward with the process of change [in the life of the country]," Milei added.
