What are the sector’s expectations in this new government phase?
Through this conference, we seek to demonstrate the role of the industry in this paradigm shift, and to see the industry as a whole as an important actor in solving the problems facing Argentina, and in a listed industry in the world. There will be a lot of talking during Competitiveness Conference The axes will be Work updateNew forms of employment and some old forms that left many people outside the circle of work. Modernization will mean more white work, more formality and not so much informal work. It will also be dealt with Tax reform and simplification. Today Argentina is one of the countries with the greatest amount of informal activity, and the tax burden falls on only a few. This generates unfair competition, so it is necessary to expand the tax base to reduce taxes, in addition to simplification because it becomes very difficult for SMEs to liquidate.
The government is working hard to resolve and eliminate unnecessary and burdensome procedures, but the key thing is to get out of informal work, in an economy that is becoming increasingly informal. On the other hand, we will talk about The cost of Argentina. As industrialists, we are very competitive within the company, but we come out to compete with very heavy bags of taxes, labor costs, procedures, hidden costs, and logistics. This is in a sector that creates sources of qualified work and we must be the private sector that generates these good jobs. Moreover, it is a sector that is very integrated into society. Where there is industry, the social fabric changes, because there is better education, health, roads, schools and clubs. In Argentina, the industrial network is extensive and features regional economies.
What message do you expect from the government?
“It will be interesting to see the change in the Cabinet. Now after December 10, the reforms will come in immediately. Let’s not forget that in the election campaign.” Miley referred to the entrepreneurs as heroes. It’s a government related to the needs of the private sector To move forward, to continue to grow, to continue to innovate. “We will see what the reforms will be, but we believe that they are aimed at introducing Argentina into the world as a major country and wealth generator, because only in this way we can reduce poverty.”
You mentioned Argentina’s entry into the world. What are your expectations regarding the trade agreement with the United States?
“You have to know the details of the agreement. But all agreements that encourage the export of our products, Which are needed all over the world, as in my sector, which is food, because Argentina needs to export more to generate real dollars. The country has great potential and the agreements can help grow exports, as well as generate more jobs and create more industries.
What are the expectations with the activity?
To the extent that reforms are implemented, there will be growth in activity and productivity. The outlook is good because both reforms aim to do just that Reducing informal activity that has become a factor of unfair competition. The sector does not ask for privileges, but rather asks for equal conditions so that it is not in a state of inferiority.”
Has the relationship with the government changed?
“The industry is very heterogeneous, the sectors are different, and there is a spirit of dialogue and cooperation with the government. The relationship is good, and with the advent of reforms it will be even better. Let us remember that the UIA is already part of the Mayo Council, through its president Martin Rapalini.
