In the past week, Horacio Rodriguez Larreta He went out to promote his 2023 campaign, presenting those who will accompany him in his federal assembly: more than 150 referents from the interior of the country, including the main candidates for governors of the PRO and allied parties, such as Roger Frigerio (Between rivers), Louis Judge (Córdoba), Ignacio Torres (Chubut), and Martín Maquieyra (La Pampa) among others.
In that meeting, he presented his vision of the economic scenario prior to the 2023 elections, the former Minister of Economy, Hernan Lacunzathe candidate of the head of the Buenos Aires Government to occupy the portfolio again almost as soon as he reaches the presidency.
Lacunza and team, in which he also works Lucas Lachthe radical who served as vice president of the central bankThey are working on the assembly of technical equipment and an economic plan to stabilize the ship in December of next year.
The economist, who had previously been minister of Maria Eugenia Vidal in the province of Buenos Aires, began his exhibition by saying: “I could bring you good news, all very bang up”. And after joking that there was a positive scenario “in Uruguay”, he made his climate analysis for 2023.
“It is going to be cloudy, with fog and isolated thunderstorms. There is not going to be a tsunami, but there may be hail”, anticipated Lacunza as a meteorologist. What did this mean? Cloudy equals “stagnation and high inflation”; haze to “financial procrastination and productive smoke”; isolated storms are a reference to the “blue and the inflation that is going to rise”; the discarded tsunami is that “there will be no hyperinflation or corralito”; and the hail: “some sharp jumps in the exchange rate.”
And then Lacunza recounted the guidelines of his plan for the economy. 1. Go deep: “don’t fall short”, marked the former minister, with a reference to the Nobel Prize Paul Krugman. “We can’t live without credit”, he insisted. 2. Verticality: organize the national, provincial and then municipal economy. 3. Seek consensus: he highlighted that in 2017 three reforms were made that the FDT annulled in 2019 and reversed in 2020. “This way there can be no confidence in the country to attract investors,” concluded Lacunza. 4. Growth: The plan is “stabilize to grow”. There the maxims are to order the macro and the reopening of the market. 5. The pillars for growth: agribusiness, mining, energy, knowledge services, tourism and construction.
“The six have one trait in common, they are in all the cities, in all the provinces, in all the towns. In all the towns there is construction, in all the towns there are children who export knowledge services, in almost all of them there is tourism, agribusiness throughout the country, in the Cordillera there is mining, and that spreads across the country”, outlined Lacunza about his national plan.
Lucas Lachchaired on Tuesday 20 a table for dinner and debate in Moema House (the gastronomic space with roots in Rio de Janeiro and behind closed doors set up in Villa Crespo by chef Murilo Tartaglia and Valentina Caputo), where he spoke about the need to achieve a balanced budget based on a cut in public spending.
