Together with the head of the entity were the Executive Director of the UIA, Diego Coatzand the head of the UIA Studies Center (CEU), Pablo Dragún. The improvement for the export conditions of industrial SMEs implies that they are removed between 3% and 5% of rights, which implies an important improvement at the microeconomy level, but a low fiscal impact. “The idea is that SMEs are almost not going to have export withholdings,” added the brand new manager.
The new conduction of the Central Fabrile seems to have opened a door in the heart of the Ministry of Economy since they hope to maintain Monthly meetings with Pablo Lavigne, the Secretary of Productive Coordination.
The idea of entrepreneurs is to prevent imports from imports to products that compete with those made in the country. Rappallini synthesized him under the idea of his predecessor Daniel Funes de Rioja: “To raise the concept of leveling the court is that there are no low tariffs without improving the conditions for local production”he explained.
“In Argentina you have to pay to export”
When referring to the application of export withholdings insisted that “almost no country charges And in the case of China there is even 15%return, which is actually a subsidy. “
For his part, Coatz explained that for now The exports of large companies would not enter, Although it is an issue that would still be defined. They could be in a second stage. In fact, in the case of automakers, it has an incremental export reduction program. In the case of autopartists who sell abroad they would be benefited.
Rappallini pointed out in that regard that the businessmen of the UIA are “according to reduce inflation normalize the economy and lower public spending that then results in a tax reduction” Thus marking a tune with the government of Javier Milei, where several of their officials do not usually speak well of industrialists.
“The fiscal pressure for those who are blank In Argentina it is 52 points. It is the only case in the world that is paid to export, “he complained.
The brand new head of the Fabrile reiterated the concept of creating a “business ecosystem” qthat generate value chains between the sectors of mining, field, energy and knowledge.
In another aspect, when talking about the idea of the government of a tax reform and an agreement with the provinces so that there is a kind of competition between states to attract companies to their territories offering lower costs, Rappallini put repairs: “The factories do not have wheels”, said.
In exchange matters he clearly indicated that “ devaluations do not work and They always generate prices and poverty shift “, and therefore he claimed that rules such as the new SME Law and a fiscal and labor reform are urgently to give better costs to local businesses.
In that aspect, the new president of the UIA indicated that he will develop an important federal agenda with visits to governors to explain the need to reduce taxes. “Value chains are very loaded with imbalances. The Argentine cost is in all links, In some cases the gross income tax adds 20%, “he said
Martín Rappallini claimed a “new productive contract”
The Argentine Industrial Union (UIA) He officialized Rapallini on Tuesday as the new president of the Entity Executive Committee for the next two years, until 2027. In this way, the businessman arrives to replace Daniel Funes de Rioja.
In one of his first speeches, the brand new head of the entity claimed “match the rules between those that import and those produced in the country“For this, he highlighted the need to deepen the” macroeconomic order “in the country.

Industrialists ask for a “new productive contract”
In the midst of a government exchange scheme, the head of the UIA demanded that “a new productive contract” should be designed for the country. “A contract that Combine the macroeconomic order with a vision of strategic development. Let the pendulum between extreme protectionism and opening without rules. That recognize the industry as a fundamental pillar for job creation, The generation of currencies and territorial development, “he deepened.
Thus, Rappallini explained that one of the central axes of this new proposal is “work in regulations that generate equal conditions for those who produce in our country. ”
“For too long, a set of distortions that were suffocating their ability to compete was loaded on the national industry. High fiscal pressure, chronic inflation, lack of productive financing, labor rigidities, high logistics costs, legal insecurity, trial industry, inefficient regulations And an unstable macroeconomic structure are some of the liabilities that have taken away competitiveness. And, yet, the industry continued, ”said the businessman.
