And secondly, with regard to the social issues, there was some kind of controversy because the IMF stated that Argentina this year will be growing more but unemployment will continue to grow. And for many, this process, situation of a certain paradox.
MR. EYZAGUIRRE: Sorry, the last part was not apparent for me. What was the contradiction?
QUESTION: The apparent contradiction would be that you have mentioned certain economic growth but at the same time, an increase in unemployment was quoted; and for many economists, including the government, this represented an inconsistency.
MR. EYZAGUIRRE: You mean in the particular case of Argentina?
QUESTION: That's right, in both cases--in both questions as regarding Argentina.
MR. EYZAGUIRRE: ... In terms of growth and unemployment, the point is that we believe that growth will continue to remain very strong but as in many countries, not being Argentina the only one, we have highlighted that for Brazil, for India, for Indonesia, those countries are already at full capacity. So, if inflation were to accelerate, that could potentially affect employment down the road, but as you say--and that's correct--while the economy remains rolling very fast, that is not going to have an adverse affect on employment. It is just that the consequences of running too fast may be, down the road, trigger some adjustment or eventually promote unemployment, but that's just a hypothetical situation.

Lo que es un buen periodista -y un funcionario que debe responder por sus afirmaciones.
Cuando el periodista más o menos dijo "Que el PBI y el desempleo suban al mismo tiempo es inconsistente." Y el chileno quiere aclarar: "Pero hablamos de Argentina ¿no?", bordean el surrealismo.
Al final, el ex jefe de gabinete de Lagos se desdijo: "no al mismo tiempo, pero al ratito nomás, si la capacidad está a full."
