The benefits of anti-inflationary plan -Package Against Inflation and Scarcity (PACIC)- could be reflected to the final consumer, no later than the following week, once the details of the elimination of tariffs in meat and imported inputs with the Ministry of Economyinformed businessmen of the Confederation of Industrial Chambers (Concamino).
The industrialists of the country applauded the measures to eliminate tariffs on some imported products, the actions to combat road insecuritymaintain energy subsidies and postpone the Carta Porte, which will help contain the inflationary impact.
Eugene SalinasPresident of the Foreign Trade Commission of the ConcaminClarified that there will be no cost cuttingbut a support to curb the inflationary impact and prevent it from being passed on to consumers.
“The industry accepts it (the anti-inflationary plan), it is good that we have these inputs at competitive prices, somehow we are waiting to speak with the Secretary of the Economy and she is still waiting to have the details of the 24 products subject to the basic basket and that in some way tariffs are going to be released in several of them,” he said in an interview, after participating in the Business Meeting 2022 of the Concamin.
We have to be more specific, in the case of meat, said Salinas, pork and chicken, because the tariff rate is a very large spectrum, “where we have to wait to see what the products and fractions are, to that we can begin to make the contracts and in this way be able to bring inputs for the manufacturing industry itself, the industry of processed products and can help us contain the inflationary effects which, as we have all seen, have already been quite strong in recent weeks”, he added.
