Didn't he already walk this back or at least in the near term?

Did he? That's funny. It would be a great validation of Horton's Law: Politicians break their good promises and keep their bad promises.

My mistake. He walked back dollarization. They are still saying shutting down the central bank is "non-negotiable".

That's a bit of a relief. I eagerly await the showdown.
If he walked back dollarization, what's the replacement plan for the central bank? Not that he has to have one, I'm a Ron Paul guy so "replace it with nothing" is a perfectly good option in my book.

There's a lot of strongly held skepticism towards Milei. Obviously, almost all of us would like him to end their central bank, but I don't sense much hope that he'll be able to do anything.

The machine will run right over him. Same way they ran over Trump.

Maybe, but I think that's why he's paying lip service to Americas foreign policy priorities.
