Survey: 41% believe that inflation comes from issuance and excessive spending

A 41% of those surveyed by the consultancy IPD (out of a universe of 1,600 cases with a margin of error of 2%, carried out with mixed collection techniques between online and by telephone) believe that the main cause of inflation is “the monetary issue and excessive spending state public”.

Percentage that far exceeds those who blame inflation on “businessmen that increase prices to earn more” with 26%. While 23% believe that the causes “are neither one nor the other” of those previously raised, and 10% do not know or do not answer.

For a substantial portion of those surveyed (58%), they should “open imports so that more cheap goods and services are available in Argentina” and only 3% believe that “imports must be limited so that Argentine companies can compete on an equal footing with foreigners and hire more people”. 31% indicate not agree with either of the two alternatives raised.

Likewise, 32% believe that it is negative that “the government subsidizes and public services such as energy and transport, because it makes the rest of the economy work worse”. In opposition, 26% believe that it is “positive that the government subsidizes public services such as energy and transport so that the most needy people can use them pay”.

Regarding the items that can contribute to the Argentine economic recovery, 29% bet on a growth in industrial activity; 18% to agriculture and livestock; 15% to conventional energies such as oil and gas; 11% to software and technology and 9% to mining. Renewable energies and tourism are behind with 6% both.

For a vast majority, exceeding three quarters of those surveyed with the 76%, field it is a central actor in the economy of the country that contributes development. And only 11% believe that it is an actor that slows down economic development. For 69%, while the field contributes more than it should, only 4% point out that it contributes what is fair and necessary, and 1% believe that this sector adds less than it should to public accounts.
