REGINAVE was presented at the end of November by Ministers Bullrich and Sturzenegger, where the head of Security had highlighted the new regime, paraphrasing President Milei: Bureaucratic procedures, out!
The deregulation agenda is a pro-production and pro-SME agenda, because it focuses on reducing costs. When talking about the “Argentine cost”, there are layers and layers of bureaucratic procedures, restrictions and impossibilities that, in many cases, have no justification. This new system represents a crucial advance for SMEs, since bureaucratic obstacles are an onerous burden for companies that are just starting out. Furthermore, it is an anti-corruption policy, because fewer procedures mean fewer opportunities for this crime.
