The industry is not living its best moment. It is that the exchange rate prevents the importation of inputs, which directly impacts the productivity of companies.
In this context, we communicate with Jose Urtubeydirector of Celulosa Argentina and director of the UIA, who spoke about the industry situation in the country.
Industrial situation of the country and the impact of the stocks
“The industry is still on the risein April there was an interannual growth of 1.7% and, so far this year, of 2,5%”, said Urtubey, who later completed: “It is necessary to close the agreement with the IMF because that has a impact on the monetary and exchange rate”.
“The inputs that the industry needs come largely from abroad and this slows down industrial activity,” the interviewee asserted. “You have to have a consensual position with the IMF to have predictability”he added.
Lithium, a great axis of debate
Along the same lines, the industrialist said that lithium is one of the main areas of investment by powers such as China, the United States and Canada. “We must call for the stabilization of Jujuy, with normative and social predictability”supplemented.
“In Salta, the treatment of natural resources was established, Jujuy has to appeal to consensus to maintain social peace,” he added. “The lithium basin must be exploitedwe cannot afford to waste this mineral,” he explained.
Political situation and axes for the future
In addition, Urtubey spoke about the political situation in the country: “I agree with Funes de Rioja’s white paperthe situation requires consensus but we must not go to extremes”.
“I hope the campaign is focused on regional aspects, we are highly centralized and We are indebted to the constitutional reform of 1994”he concluded.
