These are some of the Trending news in Argentina on Wednesday February 8, 2023. "Argentina's inflation crisis continues to escalate with a 6% rise in January consumer prices. According to INDEC, the national statistics bureau, this is despite the government's renewed price control program. Over the past year, inflation has hit a staggering 98.8%, the highest rate since 1991. The latest increase was driven by a 7.9% rise in seasonal products, 5.4% in core inflation, and 7.1% in regulated products. The government forecasts a 60% increase in consumer prices for 2023, but analysts expect it to surpass 97%. Argentina has faced double-digit annual inflation for over a decade, with rates continuing to rise in recent years, reaching 94.8% in 2022. The largest increases in January were in recreation and culture, followed by utilities and communications, with a 6.8% rise in food and non-alcoholic beverages. The only sectors with lower price variations were clothing and footwear, and education. The Buenos Aires region saw a 6% rise, with the Cuyo region having the highest monthly inflation rate at 6.4%." In a tragic event, a policewoman was killed in a shooting at a C-line subway station in Retiro, Buenos Aires. The 36-year-old mother of two, Maribel Nélida Salazar, was shot in the chest and neck and died after being transported to the hospital. Another person was also injured in the attack, while the perpetrator, a man with a criminal record, was arrested. The incident took place at the Retiro station of the capital's C-line network on Tuesday morning. Salazar regularly worked on the underground network and was intervening in an argument between a passenger and a subway operator when the attack occurred. Service on the C-line was briefly interrupted, and the area was cordoned off. Argentine fintech firm, Ualá, has launched credit cards in Mexico through its alliance with ABC Capital. CEO Pierpaolo Barbieri says that the card, issued by the Mexican bank, will allow users to build a credit history recognized by the country's credit bureau, which is not possible with cards from fintech firms without a banking license. Ualá, backed by George Soros, Steve Cohen and Tencent Holdings, provides financial services through a prepaid card managed on a mobile app in Mexico, Argentina, and Colombia. With only 33% of adults having access to formal credit, according to the country's latest financial inclusion survey, Ualá is betting big on Mexico. The firm has already launched mobile point-of-sale units and a remittances and personal loan service in the country. CEO of ABC Capital, Carlos Hernandez, adds that the recent key rate increase by Banxico won't impact the rate offered to retail users. This Valentine's Day, couples in Argentina are feeling the pinch of soaring inflation. According to a report by Focus Market consultancy firm, prices have increased by up to 120% compared to last year. Flowers, which have risen by 120% YoY, top the list of increases. Dining out, home-delivered breakfasts and dinners have also seen significant rises with average annual increases of 105%. Plush toys, chocolates and breakfast remain popular gifts but come with a price tag. An eight-count box of chocolates can cost up to 3,900 pesos and a stuffed animal reading, "I love you," costs 8,900 pesos. A combo of flowers, a stuffed animal, and chocolates can cost around 9,500 pesos on average. The survey showed that partners prefer to gift experiences like spa visits, picnics, boat trips, etc. at 25%, breakfasts and dinners at home at 15%, restaurants at 15%, and flowers and plants at 10%.

Making history in LatAm's fintech industry is very on brand for today's guest.Born and raised in Buenos Aires, Pierpaolo Barbieri left Argentina to study in the US as a young adult. He returned 12 years later with a Harvard University degree and a career as an economic historian and published author, but you may know him from being the founder and CEO of Ualá.Ualá's complete financial ecosystem was created with the ambition of unifying all financial services into one app and, with 3.5 million cards issued in the 4 years since, I'd say they're on track to meet their goals. With a $350 million Series D led by SoftBank and a $2.45 billion valuation, they're now locked and loaded to expand across all of Latin America.Join Pier and I for a chat about:Making financial services accessibleThe role of fintech in promoting social mobilityWhat challenger banks can and should do differentlyBuilding something new?

Hace tan solo cinco meses, Ualá se convirtió en el nuevo unicornio argentino. La compañía, que ofrece servicios financieros digitales, tiene presencia en ese país y en México, mercados en los que suma 4,5 millones de usuarios. En el marco de la llegada a Colombia, Pierpaolo Barbieri, CEO y fundador, habló con LR sobre los productos de la empresa en el país y cómo pueden acceder los usuarios a ellos.

At LendIt Fintech LatAm I chatted with Pierpaolo Barbieri, the CEO and founder of Ualá. I decided to turn this interview into a podcast because I think Ualá is becoming a really important company in the region. And it is a company we are going to continue to hear more from as they grow. Ualá started with a prepaid debit card in Argentina and in less than four years they have amassed almost 4 million customers, including 25% of the 18-25 year old population. They have recently expanded to Mexico and have become one of the fastest-growing companies in all of fintech.

Gifted young Argentines tend to leave home to “make it in America” and never look back, but after earning a degree from Harvard, writing a book about the Spanish Civil War, and living in the United States for 12 years, Pierpaolo Barbieri has returned to Argentina. And he’s bringing foreign capital and talented expats with him. Pierpaolo’s FinTech startup Ualá works to bring universal banking to a Latin American market in which huge swaths of the population are still stuck using cash for everything. By giving the working classes power over their own money, he hopes to produce greater prosperity and social mobility in his home country and beyond. Pierpaolo joined Tyler to discuss why the Mexican banking system only serves 30 percent of Mexicans, which country will be the first to go cashless, the implications of a digital yuan, whether Miami will overtake São Paolo as the tech center of Latin America, how he hopes to make Ualá the Facebook of FinTech, Argentina’s bipolar fiscal policy, his transition from historian to startup founder, the novels of Michel Houellebecq, Nazi economic policy, why you can find amazing and cheap pasta in Argentina, why Jorge Luis Borges might be his favorite philosopher, the advice he’d give to his 18-year-old self, his friendship with Niall Ferguson, the political legacy of the Spanish Civil War, why he stopped sending emails from bed, and more.

Pierpaolo Barbieri is the Founder & CEO of Ualá, an Argentinian consumer fintech taking South America by storm. Founded just three years ago, Ualá has already amassed more than two million customers in its native Argentina and recently expnanded to nearby Mexico. Unlike consumer banking offerings in many developed markets, which compete with incumbent banks, Ualá’s main competitor is cash in markets in which as many as half of adults are unbanked. Ualá has raised just under $200 million since launch, from leading investors including Soros, Point72, Goldman Sachs, Tencent and SoftBank. As if building the modern financial infrastructure for Latin America weren’t enough, Pierpaolo is a Harvard and Cambridge educated Historian and Economist, published author, macroeconomic advisor and regular contributor to publications including Foreign Affairs, The New York Times, The Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal and more.

Ualá is an Argentine mobile banking app and lending platform that's also one of the fastest growing fintechs in Latin America.

Ishan Sinha, Point72 Ventures: Investing in Global Fintech Startups, Ep 101 Originally from New Delhi and Kathmandu, Ishan Sinha grew up on the move. Due to his Dad’s job, he lived in six countries in three different continents until finally settling down in Connecticut. Today, as Vice President of Point72 Ventures, he still spends a lot of time on planes, however his usual travel plans are currently on hold in light of COVID-19. In normal circumstances, he travels several times throughout the year to explore markets in the Middle East, Northern Africa, South East Asia, and Latin America.    Point72 Ventures is the independent, early-stage investment arm of Steve Cohen’s $16B hedge fund Point72 Asset Management.  The fund –always seeking to be at the forefront of new technology– naturally contacted a lot of startups, which eventually turned into investable businesses. Their first investment in Latin America was in Pierpaolo Barbieri’s fintech Ualá. Ishan, with his international background, immediately jumped at the opportunity to lead the fund’s new global endeavors.   In this episode, I sit down with Ishan to talk about his nomadic upbringing, Point72’s core thesis and decision to explore outside of the US, and his insights on the differences between traditional investing and venture capital. We also discuss how Latin America compares to South East Asia, and Ishan gives advice on how to approach the Latin American market. A cultural education at a young age Ishan reflects on the valuable lessons he learned from growing up all over. He explains that being a foreigner in a lot of places taught him how to quickly connect with people, a skill that comes in handy at Point72 when he travels abroad to meet entrepreneurs from different countries.     Learn more about how the nomadic lifestyle helps Ishan dive into different markets in this episode of Crossing Borders. Traditional investing versus venture capital Accustomed to a more quantitative approach to analysing businesses in public markets, the qualitative side of venture capital presented Ishan with a new and unexpected challenge. Making a decision based on abstract concepts or products and markets that do not exist yet contrasted with the heavy reliance on data that Ishan was used to.    Listen to this episode of Crossing Borders to find out how Ishan uses his past experience in public markets to complement his work in venture capital. Drawing parallels between Latin America and South East Asia Ishan discusses the similarities he’s seen in markets across the world, particularly between Latin America and South East Asia. In 2019, he started spending more time in the Philippines as he closed his first investment in the country and noticed that the businesses in the region were not that different to Latin America’s. Both regions seem to be using technology as a leapfrog to solve similar pain points.    Learn more about the parallel markets popping up all over the world in this episode of Crossing Borders.   Ishan Sinha is following his mandate to invest globally. As Point72 expands throughout the region, Ishan’s experience in public and private markets as well as his unique upbringing will be key to tackling Latin America’s diversity.   Show Notes [1:21] - On staying home [2:44] - About Point72 Ventures [6:12] - Expanding outside of the US [8:10] - Lessons learned from a nomadic upbringing [11:19] - Becoming an investor in tech [14:14] - Traditional investing versus venture capital [18:40] - Point72’s core thesis in LatAm [21:55] - Starting the conversation with Point72 [23:07] - South East Asia versus Latin America [29:27] - What’s next for Point72 in LatAm?   Resources Mentioned: Point72 Ventures Ishan Sinha Domino Data Lab Sequioa Capital Pete Casella Tripp Schriner Ualá Ep 42 Pierpaolo Barbieri: How Ualá is Increasing Financial Inclusion in Argentina Mike Packer, QED Investors: The Trailblazing US VC Investing in Latin American Fintech, Ep 78 Belvo  Credijusto Contabilizei Sprout

(29.10.19) En #TPLT hablamos con Pierpaolo Barbieri, fundador de Ualá. La fintech lanzada en octubre del 2017 ya emitió más de 1 millón de tarjetas y apuesta fuerte con permanente innovación a la inclusión financiera de la sociedad argentina.

El fundador de Ualá, Pierpaolo Barbieri, visitó el programa "Voces y memorias", conducido por el periodista Hernán Dobry, en Eco Medios AM 1220 Mhz, el 4 de diciembre de 2018 para conversar sobre la empresa y sus años como historiador e investigador de la relación de la Alemania nazi con la Guerra Civil española.

El historiador económico y emprendedor Pierpaolo Barbieri estuvo en el ciclo Conversaciones de LA NACION y habló de la importancia de entender la economía para comprender la situación política. "Vivimos fuera del mundo porque mucha gente está afuera del sistema financiero", señaló Barbieri y dejó expuesta una tendencia nacional: "El 75% de los argentinos prefiere ir al dentista que al banco". El emprendedor hizo hincapié en la necesidad de comprender los procesos económicos: "Sin entender la economía y las finanzas, no podes entender la política", sostuvo y agregó que hay muy poca gente en la historia que entienda los fenómenos desde lo económico. Para Barbieri, tener superávit energético en Argentina "es extremadamente necesario" y dijo ser optimista con el futuro próximo del país. "El siglo XXI está hecho para la Argentina", manifestó.

According to Pierpaolo Barbieri, Argentina is a country where young people would prefer to visit the dentist than to go to the bank. More than half of Argentina’s population is excluded from traditional financial institutions and few efforts have been made to help the middle class access services like savings and credit. My guest on the podcast today is Pierpaolo Barbieri, the founder and CEO of Uala, the first fully-mobile and free bank card for the Argentinean market, which is trying to bring financial inclusion to Latin America’s second largest economy. We talk about Uala’s efforts to serve the underbanked in Argentina, the financial environment in Latin America, Pierpaolo’s background studying in the US and the UK, and why he has decided to maintain Uala as a free service for all customers. Tackling Argentina’s financial landscape from a local perspective Argentina has a uniquely complicated banking environment with constantly changing regulations and a thriving black market in foreign exchange. This is a country where over 50% of people have never owned or used a credit card, because banks have little way to analyzing credit. While mobile neobank models are well-known in Europe, Pierpaolo does not believe in fully copying the model. Find out more about how Pierpaolo built Uala to specifically serve the Argentina in this episode of Crossing Borders. The benefits of an international liberal arts education Pierpaolo studied a liberal arts curriculum before starting to innovate in the banking sector. In fact, he received more pushback from his family when he went to study history in the US than when he founded a fintech company in Argentina. However, Pierpaolo credits his liberal arts education with giving him the background he needed to understand the finance industry. Find out how Pierpaolo’s history knowledge helped Uala reach clients in all 25 Argentine provinces faster than any established bank. On a mission to make banks redundant in Argentina Few people could understand why Uala would offer a free card when people were already paying for debit and credit cards from banks. Yet after he launched the service, Uala spread faster than even Pierpaolo expected. Pierpaolo credits the explosion to Uala’s social mission; most users are thrilled to open their first ever bank account and the community is growing via word-of-mouth.
