The Business Convergence Forum consists of enterprises, professionals, foundations and NGOs.
Claudio Cesario, representing the Business Convergence Forum said: “We support the measures the Government is implementing; resorting to the IMF is reasonable for us and other countries of the region have done the same. We recognize the Government’s reaction capacity and its prediction capacity. The meeting was very positive, we believe in the public-private dialogue and in trying to look for solutions together. From ABA, we see a solid and reliable system. We don’t have conflicts or special situations. Today we are experiencing a record in deposits in Argentine pesos”.
Juan Chediack, of the Construction Board, said: “They have shown a technical and financial capacity to face this turbulence. We have a historical record of working force in the Argentinean Building Workers Union (UOCRA): 440 thousand jobs”.
Manuel Aguirre Amcham added: “No investment plan is revised. The head offices welcomed the negotiations with the IMF. It represents coverage within the framework of our country’s financing needs”.
Daniel Pellegrina, form the Argentinean Rural Society, talked about the dialogue and joint work with the Government and said: “We have been working with the Government since the beginning of the Administration in competitive sectors such as meat and the forest industry and they work really good”.
