He president of AmCham, the Argentine-American Chamber of Commerce, Facundo Gomez Minujin It was in line with the official opening speech of the entity’s annual meeting, in front of an audience of businessmen and politicians. He pointed at the state and highlighted the measures that the current administration is taking.
JPMorgan’s number one in the country assured that Argentina needs “a profound transformation of politics towards a model of another country. The different political spaces that have governed in recent years have demonstrated that their formulas and recipes have led to the Argentina we see: a country without growth, with “high poverty, fatigue and frustration”.
And he added: “there is an overriding need rapidly introduce comprehensive and profoundly transformative reformsto make Argentina a viable country.”
According to the executive, the necessary measures should aim to establish a framework that encourages private investment, the increase in production and services, the increase in formal private employment, the reduction of the tax burden, the reduction of poverty and the fight against corruption.
In this sense, Gómez Minujin assured: “We share the objectives and direction of the announced measures, the search for concrete results, the generation of an environment seeking concrete results attract investments as an engine of growth, elimination of regulatory obstacles and obstacles to developing their businesses and freedom for businesses to decide their own business plan.
“It seems that over the last 40 years we have become accustomed to looking at the indicators of poverty and destitution only as statistics, but we forget that millions of stories, dreams and projects remain there truncated”
“How much longer can we resist? How many more times will a new administration have to dismantle the legacy left by previous mandates?”, he asked.
Gómez Minujin dedicated some passages underlining the State: “For decades they wanted to make us believe that the State was the only one capable of moving Argentina forward. But no. The only sector capable of generating wealth is the private sector. They are the companies that produce goods and services, the ones that give energy to the economy and are capable of adding value and generating quality employment.
