“Taking into account the context, we believe that it would be opportune to promote a Trade Facilitation Agreement with the United States, establish sectoral regulatory harmonization processes (similar to those that Brazil has underway) as well as periodically evaluate the TIFA in light of the opportunities for productive investment in our country”, indicated Landa.
«The presence of the leaders at the CEO Summit, starting with Joe Biden himself, Kamala Harris, Antony Blinken and, of course, John Kerry, was a sign of political commitment, in a context of absences and divergences on the government front» said the businessman.
The head of CERA, said that “from the private sector, however, we can go one step further by evaluating the opportunities that Argentina has in regional trade.”
“The Treaty between Mexico, the United States and Canada has been the third region in importance for the export of Argentine SMEs, (32% Mercosur, 22% Rest of ALADI, 15% USMCA and 8% SICA in 2021)”, he highlighted.
In this regard, he said that “it has been markedly value-added (manufactures of agricultural and industrial origin)” and specified that “if the evolution of exports between 2012 and 2021 is analyzed, in a decade characterized by the fall in the participation of SMEs in total exports, it only grew in Mercosur and USMCA”.
«We understand that in this context there is a window of opportunity to advance on various fronts. For example, in the deepening of the Economic Complementation Agreement No. 6 (Argentina – Mexico), taking advantage of additional windows of possible exchange negotiation and also with the United States, understanding the geopolitical and productive security dilemmas facing,” he said.
Landa added that “as CERA has argued, it is necessary to develop a consistent national export strategy.”
