In the case of the industry in particular, he specified that considering “the pre-pandemic, it has been growing by 12% in general.”
“During the 4 years of the previous government, the economy fell without a war and without a pandemic. We are going to end the administration with three consecutive years of economic growth,” the official stressed.
De Mendiguren also referred to inflation and recognized that “money is not enough for those who work, it is very difficult to maintain purchasing power with this level of inflation.”
In that line, He highlighted that “when we took office we strongly attacked this issue and we ended up with 80% inflation when they projected 140%,” and stated that “it’s still a lot, but we plan to continue on that path.”
He also analyzed the price agreements and stressed that they cover “both prices and supply with large companies.”
In addition, he pointed out that “in several cases it is failing”, but he remarked that “significant fines are being imposed, and collaboration is required.”
In addition, He called on companies that had “enormous help from the public sector” during the pandemic, “that has to be returned.”
On the other hand, in relation to Brazil, he said that both countries “have an abundance of resources that the world needs,” so it is necessary “to work together and complement each other, to be able to trade with each other.”
“Not using the dollars that are scarce is important for our reserves,” stressed the secretary, who maintained that “the country is in a scenario close to a great economic improvement.”
