The incoming Macri administration overtaking Argentina’s executive power has been historic: Argentine economic policy has turned 180 degrees favoring open markets and reintegration with the global political and financial community. Many observers remained skeptical however, of the Macri administration’s ability to govern, hampered mostly by holding a minority coalition in both houses of Congress. The year 2016, however, proved them wrong. The major reforms of the Macri administration – such as the agreement with the holdout creditors and the public-private partnership law – were finally approved with multi-partisan support. We discuss with Federico Pinedo how the Macri coalition achieves consensus to advance its agenda with the opposition’s support.
