“We shared a working day with Minister Sergio Massa in which we analyze the start of the economic year and the economic and energy integration agreement with Brazil, which we will sign on January 23 during Lula’s visit,” Fernández wrote on his Twitter account, where he also shared a photo of the meeting with the official.
Fernández will meet in Buenos Aires with Lula da Silva, who will also attend the VII Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (Celac) that will take place on the 24th of this month in Buenos Aires.
In an interview for the Infobae portal that was published this Sunday, Massa remarked that the “patriotic objective is to build an economy without inflation”, he announced that they are working on instruments that ensure access to credit for companies and individuals and said that he will convene the Roundtable de Enlace in the coming days to follow “region by region” the impact of the drought.
“What I want to make clear is the concept that the improvement in income is with a reduction in inflation, with improving the credit capacity of the worker and with parities that beat inflation,” said Massa.
He also assured that “The patriotic objective is to build an economy without inflation, a problem of the Argentine economy in the last 40 years.”
On the other hand, in an interview published with El Cohete a la Luna, Massa pointed out that “to break the culture of dollarization that we Argentines have -which is deeply rooted in us- we must generate investment instruments associated with the goods that we Argentines produce, gas, corn, copper, with savings and investment instruments, which can be a guarantee for the saver who distrusts the Finance system”.
