Prospects before new Argentine government

In the Brazilian footwear industry, there is some concern about the assumption of the new government of Argentina, which will be chaired by Alberto Fernández. The probable transition from liberal policies to more protectionist ones, recalls the difficulties that Brazilian footwear exports had to go through because of the barriers imposed, according to Haroldo Ferreira -CEO of ABICALÇADOS-.

With these mechanisms, the sector was affected by a value exceeding US $ 200 million, in a period in which Cristina Kirchner was the president, ABICALÇADOS reported.
