28D is the term used to refer to the 28 December 2017 press conference of the Central Bank of Argentina together with the Treasury in which they changed their inflation target.

Background[]

Inflation in 2017 was 25% and the Macri's administration was coming off a major victory in the legislative elections.[6]

On December 28, the change in inflation targets for 2018 was announced, which was 10% annually and was raised to 15%.[7]

Many read this measure as it was an advance of the Chief of Cabinet and the Ministers of Treasury and Public Finance on the independence of the Central Bank.[8]
