Outlook under new government
In the context of Javier Milei assuming office as the new president and prior to the announcement of the first measures of his mandate, some industrial sectors expressed their perspectives for the future.
In the footwear industry, the main concern was the indiscriminate opening of imports, projecting purchases from abroad by international brands that would negatively impact the performance in the second half of 2024, according to Alberto Sellaro from the Chamber of the Footwear Industry.
The same issue is the focus of attention for the Industrial Chamber for the Manufacture of Leather and Leather Goods (CIMA), which during Mauricio Macri's administration led to business closures and layoffs. To gain competitiveness and generate investment in technology, they need defense for the sector, as reported by the entity.
