The governor of Río Negro, Alberto Weretilneckannounced this Tuesday that it sent the Legislature provincial a bill for the creation of a Economic and Industrial Promotion Regimewhich includes exemption taxes and bonuses, among other items.
Through his social media accounts, the Patagonian president released a message titled “We want you to come and invest in Río Negro”, in which he offered details about the official initiative that will be dealt with by the local legislative branch.
Río Negro promotes an industrial promotion regime
Weretilneck explained that this is a bill to create an Economic and Industrial Promotion Regime “with specific incentives that promote development, innovation and competitiveness in Río Negro.”
The proposal includes tax exemptions of up to 15 years for those who invest in the province, fiscal stability, bonuses of up to 40% in projects led by women, special rates, priority in credits and state contracts, among other benefits.
“With this regime, we want businessmen, merchants and producers to see Río Negro as a strategic place to invest and grow. This is a key step to generate more employment, promote innovation and consolidate our province as one of the most competitive in the world. country,” said the governor.
Last September, the president had anticipated that he would work on a project to create a specific regime, with the aim of Río Negro becoming a province “friendly to capital and investment.” “We are going to stimulate the establishment of companies,” commented on the occasion.
It is worth remembering that during the discussion of the Bases law, the Rio Negro administration had supported the implementation of the Large Investment Incentive Regime (RIGI), with interest in keeping the mega investment that YPF and Petronas planned to make in the start-up of a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plant in Bahía Blanca.
The Patagonian province was in fact the first to join the RIGI and ended up being awarded the project, which will be located in Sierra Grande.
The event opened a source of conflict with the Buenos Aires president, Axel Kicillofwho blamed the national government for punishing him for his role as an opponent. Last week, finally, Kicillof and Weretilneck met in Viedman and put cold clothes on the arm wrestling.
Offers for medical planes
At the same time, the Rio Negro administration announced this Wednesday that it received offers from two companies for its medical planes.
The Secretary General, Nelson Cidesdeclared that “The sale of these aircraft is crucial for the Province since, just because they are in the hangar, they imply high costs in dollars for their maintenance. We understand that this is not convenient for the State. The decision to sell the planes responds to the need to prevent them from continuing to generate these expenses.”
The opening of envelopes for the sale of the two aircraft that the Province has in its possession took place in Viedma and two bidders presented themselves.
On the one handthe company Aerovida SA offered various alternatives: for the Cessna plane, a mixed proposal was presented that combines an amount in money and the provision of medical flights and another that covers the entire value of the plane only in medical flights. Meanwhile, for the Piper Azteca, an offer of US$50,000 in cash was presented.
On the other hand, the firm MD Fly SA presented a single offer based on the entire value of the aircraft, but through the provision of medical flight services.
The next step will be a technical and legal evaluation to determine if any of the offers are admissible. If any offer is approved, the winning proposal will be defined within an estimated period of between seven and ten days.
