The owner of the Argentine Industrial Union (UIA), Daniel Funes from Riojaconsidered that the economy is in “a serious inflationary process” and that “without economic stabilization nothing can grow.”
He was consulted at a press conference only about the future of companies: “There are 14,500 companies and do you think they produce so as not to sell? They will look for paths. The processes are not looked at in 15 days, we come from strong and generalized price control.”
And he assured: “With respect to the exchange rate, we have to wait for the official measures. The industry awaits clear announcements and signals. The president-elect is giving clear signals of where he wants to go. If we do not have macroeconomic stabilization, nothing can grow in Argentina more than inflation.”
Regarding the presence of Javier Milei at the conference, he explained: “The elected government has been in permanent contact and what we want is for him to come. The first time it was offered to come, it had not been the PASO, we have been very neat.”
On the other hand, regarding labor modification he expressed: “Labor modernization is written in the white paper. We want to adapt to new work realities. We have a labor law from the ’70s that does not respond to current reality. There are other sectors that have it like this.”
Funes de Rioja spoke upon arriving at the 29th Annual Conference of the UIA, where today the presence of the president-elect Javier Milei is expected, who has not yet reconfirmed his participation.
Among the most important presences, those of the governors of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof; from Catamarca, Raúl Jalil; and from Chubut, Ignacio Torres.
In addition, the participations of the future Ministers of the Interior, Guillermo Francos, stand out; and from Foreign Affairs, Diana Mondino.
The 29th Conference of the entity will be held at the Convention Center of the City of Buenos Aires under the motto “There is industry, there is a future.”
More than a thousand industrial representatives from the country, elected government officials, governors and specialists are expected to attend.
The opening will be led by the president of the 29th Industrial Conference and head of Georgalos, Miguel Zonnaras, together with the elected head of the Buenos Aires Government, Jorge Macri.
Next, Santiago Bilinkis together with Sofía Vago (Accenture) and Rafael Sánchez (Blue Star Group) will debate the applications and implications of artificial intelligence in the present and future of production processes.
Then, the future Chancellor “will dialogue with the executive director of the UIA, Diego Coatz, about the integration of Argentina in the world, exports with added value and the relationship with the main commercial partners.”
The second block of the Conference will begin with a panel made up of the elected governors Axel Kicillof, Raúl Jalil and Ignacio Torres.
At that table, “regional opportunities and industrial policy from the productive interior” will be reviewed, the UIA stated.
Likewise, the Minister of the Interior of the new government will speak about the future of the relationship with the provinces from the point of view of the industry.
The last block will be dedicated to the potential of the main productive sectors of the economy and executives from metallurgical firms and chambers and from the energy and mining sectors, among others, will participate.
