Productive Policy

The discussion on productive development in Argentina, with its pendulum-like nature, has been overshadowed in the policy agenda by the urgency of current problems. However, today, the country’s growth cannot be considered without an ambitious medium- and long-term productive development strategy.

Added to this is one of the great challenges of this century: the tension between economic growth and the environment. Sustainability is a fundamental component of 21st-century production policies and a growth strategy needs to incorporate it.

What does this mean? It is essential to adapt and take advantage of this context: Argentina has a great opportunity to exploit its potential. The country has a long productive history that is reflected in the skills and knowledge in various sectors.

We work to generate innovation, prosperity and more and better jobs. How? We identify emerging sectors and niches in which Argentina has the opportunity to position itself internationally. We devise strategies to transform traditional sectors, improve and modernise existing policies and regulations, and strengthen the state capacities that drive this transformation.

Today more than ever, Argentina’s path to development needs policies that enhance and build productive capacities.
