Imports and inflation, the concerns of businessmen

The former spanish president visited Argentina two weeks ago invited by the G6. Included in his agenda was a meeting with trade unionists, members of the ruling party and the opposition, and another with the vice president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.

“Yesterday I read the letter from Montevideo, the constitution of your association and indeed, the rresponsibility also of the private sectorof private companies to act, as the letter says, with rigorous social equity, both in front of its members and in front of the community,” said the head of the Treasury.

According to what was heard at the main table where some members of the economic team appeared, such as the vice minister, Gabriel Rubenstein, production secretaries Jose Ignacio de Mendiguren; that of Agriculture, Juan Jose Bahillo; and that of Energy, Flavia Royon, Inflation in the first fifteen days of November has already reached 4%.

Even so, the minister highlighted the work sealed with companies in the food, hygiene and personal care sector, to stabilize the prices of the products of the basic basket of Argentines in reference to the program Fair Prices.

Businessmen adhered to the need for stability, not only economic, but also in the rules of the game.

For this reason, one of the moments in which he received applause was when he recognized them “There is a group of people here who want Argentina to do well, they want predictability and clear rules of the game”.

The imports is the other great issue that the private sector recognizes today as limiting. “They are at the limit,” they acknowledge from a business center, although they emphasize that the request for early vacations has not yet begun. Although they also highlight that the SIRAs have begun to be released, although they point out that there is still a lot pending.

The focus is on advancing with those inputs necessary for production and not in finished products.

Without definitions, the promise of a reissue of the soybean dollar was latent in the environmentand they expect the announcement to be made next week.

From the Government they point out that there are some 10,000 million dollars that remain to be liquidated and recognize the strong need to increase reserves to meet the goals with the IMF.

The temptation is great and the announcement is one step away from being released. “We businessmen are pragmatic and Massa is pragmatic too,” said one of the businessmen who is part of the hard core of the G 6 at the end, adding “we hope he succeeds.”
