Kicillof to businessmen: ‘Argentina will not do well with a liberal economic plan’

Speaking at a monthly meeting of the Inter-American Council of Trade and Production today, Economy Minister Axel Kicillof considered “the country will not do well with a liberal plan,” and stated the government’s main purpose is the economic growth.
Before a crowded audience which included some of the country’s top business executives such as host Eduardo Eurnekian, Jorge Brito, Ignacio de Mendiguren, Carlos De la Vega, Cristiano Ratazzi and Héctor Méndez, among others, the minister referred to the upcoming general elections assuring on December 10, when the new president takes office, «we will probably have a government with a president from the same party and with the same policies.”
The minister, who was accompanied by his team, called for a business sector “committed to the country’s development and that pushes a reindustrialization process.” “We need a business sector which renews and exposes itself.”
“We want to give (this administration) continuity and we are part of an electoral proposal that will continue with this project. We intend to keep doing the same thing,” Kicillof stated.
“There is a plan coming from the economic orthodoxy which is the same everywhere,” he said, adding “we know it well. It is simple and employed in all the circumstances.” “That plan is implemented today in weak nations of Europe and is substantially wrong. It’s impossible that the same programme being applied in Greece now, will be useful for Argentina or emerging countries in 2016,” he warned.
