Preamble
“We are convinced that Argentina is a country with deep industrial vocation, and that The industry must be the protagonist of the road to sustainable growth and development. Therefore, we reaffirm the importance of strengthening a renewed and federal industrial agenda, focused on the generation of value, quality use, territorial integration, continuous improvement of competitiveness and international insertion.
Regional industrial unions and sectoral organizations that form the Argentine Industrial Union (UIA) signed this new productive contract, as a collective commitment to coordinate efforts, align strategies and work together on a shared agenda that allows us to build a competitive industrial sector, efficient and fully integrated into the world.
To achieve this, internal policies are not enough: it is essential to build an intelligent international insertion, accompanied by a competitive tax reform. This must encourage production, export and value aggregate, guarantee access to strategic markets and allow competition under fair conditions globally. At the same time, Consolidating a solid domestic market – based on the formalization of the economy and shelter against unfair practices such as dumping and informality – is essential to ensure sustained economic growth.
This new contract expresses the institutional support to the UIA as an entity of national articulation and representation, and ensures our commitment to work with all the actors of the company – state, entrepreneurs, workers, educational and technological system – to strengthen and redesign the role of the productive sector as the engine of Argentine progress. Through the decalogue that follows, we define the priority work axes that must be addressed to achieve this common goal. We know that the road will require time, perseverance and cooperation, but also that the objectives are clear and the course is drawn. “
Institutionality and public-private relationship
“Productive development requires a solid institutional framework, based on legal certainty, respect for contracts and devotion to the democratic order, the division of powers and republican institutions. A fluid dialogue between the State and the private sector is essential, which allows to design and sustain long -term industrial policies, based on mutual trust and predictability.”
Macroeconomic order
“Macroeconomic stability, low inflation, the order of public and external accounts, the transparency of the State and its operational efficiency are essential conditions for generating trust, attracting investments and generating an environment favorable to industrial development and social welfare.”
Systemic competitiveness
“The Argentine industry is part of the tradable sector of the economy: it competes daily with products from other countries in quality and price. Therefore, it is essential to level the competition conditions and eliminate informality to reduce unfair competition. The commitment to systemic competitiveness must comprehensively address the so -called “structural Argentine cost” which includes factors such as a distortive tax system and high fiscal pressure, poor infrastructure, scarce and expensive financing, logistics cost overruns, complex regulatory frameworks and gaps in the formation of human capital, among others. Argentina has the opportunity to consolidate its industrial development and strengthen economic competitiveness through strategic energy investments and its infrastructure. “
International Export and Insertion
“Integration into the world must be a tool for development, attraction of investment and employment generation. We need to strengthen the MERCOSUR and generate strategic trade agreements with key markets that open opportunities for our exports. It is also essential to eliminate distortive exports taxes, return internal taxes and ensure symmetrical competition conditions compared to other countries. Commercial policy must be at the service of production, with agile schemes and rules that avoid unwanted effects. “
Federal, balanced and integrated development
“Industrialization must be a federal project. No region or sector can be developed in isolation. The future requires an integrative vision that strengthens value chains and regional economies. Public policies are needed that enhance the productive capacities of each region and reduce the asymmetries that currently exist.”
Labor modernization
“It is essential to adapt labor legislation to the challenges of the 21st century, reduce litigation, reduce non -wage loads, promote formalization and favor the increase in internal productivity of companies, within the framework of respect for workers’ rights.”
Productive financing
“Industrial investment requires access to long -term credit. It is critical to have accessible financial instruments for industrial companies in general and especially suitable for SMEsthat allow sustaining processes of productive transformation, technological modernization and employment generation. “
Investment in infrastructure and logistics
“The improvement of physical connectivity is key to competitiveness. We need strategic works that reduce logistics costs, integrate territories and facilitate access to internal and external markets. It is also essential to strengthen essential public services that condition territorial and social development.”
Commitment to ethics and sustainability
“We promote a responsible industry, committed to the environment, social development and business ethics. Institutional transparency, intergenerational dialogue and the formation of young leaders and entrepreneurs are pillars of a modern industrial Argentina.”
