In this sense, he pointed out that “today Argentina, so far this year, has a Record of imports for more than US $ 57,000 million. In August, there were 36% more imports compared to the same month last year. There was a war that everyone ignores, it cost Argentina US$4.9 billion, which is the same as we Argentines spend on trips abroad, almost a war, which is US$460 million per month” when contextualizing the dollar shortage scenario.
In this context, he explained that from the national government, “a case for abuse of injunctions” was initiated “before the federal justice system” that authorized US$2.6 billion of imports.
Speaking to the Early Saturday program, hosted by Marcelo Bonelli on Radio Miter, the secretary stressed that the Government seeks foreign currency to sustain the important level of industrial activity “which continues to grow at 5% year-on-year and is 15% above the pre-pandemic”
“This brutal record of imports and of these precautionary ones, 75% came from finished goods”said the official, adding that with the minister Serge Massa “We are working hard to find out what is real about it, how much they ate like the precautionary businessor imports that were not necessary to produce”.
What De Mendiguren said about imports
The official remarked that “next Friday we will finish the audit to find out how the Comprehensive Import Monitoring System (SIMI), give traceability, so that clearly there are not two SIMI for the same production. And, in addition, we are going to give you certainty of payment, with the SIMI the date on which they are going to pay will come out now, “he emphasized.
In this way, he also stated that “there was a huge devaluation pressure (which has not disappeared), many because they want to speculate, some to destabilize and some because they believe that this is the way out; then, betting on that, what they did with these exaggerated or non-existent importsit was turning cheap dollars, taking dollars out of production, taking dollars out of an Argentina that needs them for the level of activity and speculating”.
“Therefore, the great fight that we face is the breach, this is very clear, a breach of this nature tempts these businesses”concluded the Secretary of Industry and Productive Development.
