The head of the Industrial Union, Daniel Funes de Rioja, said that inflation “is solved by government policy “ and that “the field is marked by the state”, thus separating the role of businessmen in the observations on prices.

Funes thus replied to President Alberto Fernández who, through a message addressed to the UIA, had asked entrepreneurs for “solidarity” and “responsibility” on the issue of inflation.

“It’s time to be more supportive than ever. Inflation is bad for everyone, but we know who suffers the most. All sectors must act responsibly “Fernandez said, in a letter he addressed to the factory headquarters on the occasion of the Industry day.

In a meeting with the press, at the UIA headquarters in Avenida de Mayo, Funes said it instead inflation is the responsibility of officials.

“To any industrial manufacturer is interested in running against inflation, which never knows what it can achieve, even points of setback and recession. We are here to produce, to grow, to invest and that stability is a necessary condition. Now, we don’t solve it, it’s solved by government policy, which must find agreements on the appropriate instruments, “said Funes de Rioja.

He added: “(That policy) has three axes, fiscal, monetary and foreign exchange accumulation. We are totally in agreement with foreign exchange accumulation, which means more exports and more exports means more production. There are roles for the state and roles for the private sector Y the field is marked by the state, through its macro definitions of government“.
