Carlos Melconian: “We need a program that generates horizons and is complete”

The economist and former president of Banco Nación, Carlos Melconian, assessed the current economic situation and the forecasts after the elections. “We need a program that generates horizons, that is global, that attacks several fronts at the same timethat is realistic and sustainable over time,” he added.

In this regard, he assured that “The temporary dynamics in which we find ourselves are not harmless. What you ask me will depend on December 9th or 10th. Things are going to happen between now and December 10,” he said trying to answer the question of what he would do if he were Economy Minister right now.

“The economy will depend on that dynamic. It doesn’t just depend on whether the government gets out of hand. It will depend on an electoral act, on the results figures, of how Argentina stops, what is its governance and who wins in the transition, whether the spirit is confrontational or collaborative,” he stressed.

“The horizon is December 10, but the instrumentality has a different dynamic”added.

For the economist -who spoke to Eduardo Feinmann in “Someone must say it”-, “the dynamics do not only depend whether the government gets out of hand or not. It will depend on the electoral act, the figures in that electoral act, of how Argentina remains politically static, who wins, whether the spirit of the transition is confrontational or collaborative”.

In this regard he continued: “What will have to be strictly followed even if it is not a government is What are the decisions that this government is making in this period?because it cannot compromise the next government with any decision, and it is already doing so”.

“The partisan economist is very close. It will be necessary to adjust many wills. We need to make the government, foreign policy, the horizon, what is the federal and productive program behind it”, he said. And he added: “It is not a program for ‘city’ economists. It is a program that must have a horizon of where you are going, stages, what you are launching today and what will arrive in 60 days”.
