Argentina’s Industrial Union, UIA, called on the government of President Cristina Fernandez to ease the imports of inputs for manufacturing, which is suffering from shortages caused by severe controls, although at the same time was supportive of official policies to boost industry.
Argentine president Cristina Fernandez received strong support from the industrial sector for her latest policy of eliminating subsidies which are widely extended in the economy, but manufacturers also called for prudence and gradualism.
