Overview
- Federico Sturzenegger, in a Sunday post on X, outlined a drive to dismantle Argentina’s long‑running “external constraint,” a shortage of export dollars he says keeps wages low, with a goal of reaching pay levels seen in Japan and Poland.
- He said the government will seek changes to three rules seen as bottlenecks for exporters, naming the Glacier Law, the Land Law, and the Cabotage Law.
- He also pointed to new trade agreements with the United States and the European Union as key to bringing in more foreign currency and opening larger markets for Argentine goods.
- Arguing the strategy is already bearing fruit, he credited President Javier Milei with removing the constraint and claimed real exports rose 40% in Milei’s first two years, while separate INDEC data reported a record monthly export value in March.
- Ámbito reported he is promoting a bill to allow firms fully managed by artificial intelligence, and the outlet noted professional associations have rejected related deregulation moves, warning of risks for users.
