The former Minister of Economy, Martin Guzmanquestioned in statements to Radio 10 the economic policy carried out by the Government. In this framework, he pointed out against the money laundering promoted by Javier Milei.
“If you think you are going to fix everything with small measures like money laundering, then you end up crashing,” said the economist.
In that sense, he explained that “With such generous launderings, people know that every 10 years a deep one comes and they wait.”
The La Libertad Avanza government included “money laundering” in the fiscal package approved by Congress, a tool that has already been used by other governments in the past. The current money laundering aims to all assets in the country or abroad, such as cash, bank accounts, real estate, cars, cryptocurrencies and credits.
Martín Guzmán questioned the Government’s economic policy
In another part of the interview, Guzmán said that in the current administration “they govern for those who lent them in 2016.” In this context, he added that “there are no investors outside the IMF who are going to lend money to Argentina.”
“There was an interest surcharge from the IMF as a result of how large the loan that Macri’s government had taken had been,” added the former official.
Along the same lines, he considered that Milei is “very far from the idea of liberalism that he proposed”. “By hacking away you are generating a deep recession,” he explained.
Who can access money laundering
The 2024 laundering, according to the text of the standard, It is aimed at individuals, undivided estates and companies, whether or not they are tax persons, as well as at people who do not have tax residence in Argentina.
It is worth clarifying that article 39 of the fiscal package establishes that those who have performed public functions in the last 10 years from the date of entry into force of the money laundering, and the relatives of all these officials, as well as convicted or prosecuted persons, among others, are excluded. .
In the current laundering, for those who have undeclared dollars in cash, they must first have a CUIT and tax code, and open a special account in a commercial bank called “Special Asset Regularization Account” (CERA). Once these steps have been completed, the pesos or dollars that are going to be laundered must be taken and deposited before September 30, 2024.
