The Buenos Aires Head of Government Horacio Rodriguez Larreta He explained what will be the measures he will take in economic matters in the event that the 2023 presidential elections give him the winner. Said plan would be based on 4 axes: “International insertion, incorporation of state-of-the-art technology, simplification and deregulation of processes, and adaptation of the educational system to the productive requirements of the 21st century,” the official explained.
Among its postulates, the first theme that appears is the lower inflationwhich in October closed in a 6.3% according to CPI data. “There is no country that can have a serious and sustainable development in the future with chronic inflation,” said Rodríguez Larreta.
Another of the nodal points of the plan is the job. Larreta is committed to removing “all obstacles to development” (a euphemism for an electoral reform) and “increasing the predictability of production”, with the goal of generating private employment and doubling exports within six to eight years. He also affirmed that “pro-employment labor rules that accompany the companies” are needed, something that several unions have already marked that they repudiate.
“In our country, private employment has not been created for ten years. Public employment does not replace private employment, because it is financed with taxes,” said Larreta in an implicit criticism of Mauricio Macri: The final balance of his government indicated that throughout his 4 years in office, private employment contracted and public employment grew.
He also noted the importance of promoting the development of logistics, road and telecommunications infrastructure to favor the insertion in the international market. “It is impossible to have a sustainable economic program without sustained growth in external sales. There is no possible growth if we do not integrate with the world by exporting our products and services,” he said.
“The restriction is not external but internal: it is not that we do not have the capacity to generate foreign currency, but rather that we are incapable of voluntarily withholding it, resulting in exchange restrictions (traps) that increase mistrust,” defined Larreta, who suggested that under his management a relaxation of the regulations for the purchase of dollars. Optimistic, he assured that “this is the way to change the reality of all Argentines forever. “The generation of 23 is going to change history to take us to Argentina from leadership of the 21st century”, concluded the Buenos Aires Head of Government.
