The head of the UIA supported the Government’s progress, but demanded “systemic competitiveness”, lowering logistics costs and correcting the “asymmetries” in fiscal matters. “A process of deregulation, debureaucratization and simplification is necessary,” he requested.
The president of the Argentine Industrial Union (UIA), Daniel Funes from Riojawarned this Saturday that “the economic reorganization measures” carried out by the Government “imply recession.” He asked to lower logistics costs and pointed out that in labor matters “we must generate competitiveness”.
“We have to find a way to level the playing field. For that we have to generate competitiveness,” stated Funes de Rioja. For that, “a process of deregulation, debureaucratization and simplification” is necessary, he added.
For the holder of the UIA “Argentina has a series of asymmetries from a fiscal point of view. In Argentina there is a large percentage of those who should pay and do not pay. “The entire tax collection force is imposed on the formal economy.”

Another important point that he touched on was “disproportionate” logistics costs that exist in the country, according to their vision. He supported this point with numbers from the entity. “Logistics transfer costs 43% more than the average for Latin America, but operating a container with imported supplies is 32% more expensive than the average for the region,” he stated in an interview on Radio Splendid.
“The vision is systemic competitiveness”he stated. This requires “macro stability and concrete measures to correct asymmetries to be able to produce and compete internationally.”
The relationship with the Government: “we are listened to”
Funes de Rioja highlighted that the relationship with the Government is good, “we are listened to and we speak permanently”, both with the Ministry of Economy and the Ministry of Human Capital. “We have supported the Bases Law, the RIGI chapter, they are very important”he stated.
He was also contemplative about the difficulties of the economy. “There are so many fronts that must be organized in Argentina”he pointed out.
If he admitted that “the reorganization measures (of the Government) imply a degree of recession”. But he stressed that “we have sustained it with a low level of dismissals.”
