<p style="text-align: justify;">She cited the <strong>exchange rate differential</strong> as the main cause of this, adding that<strong> &#8220;movement is minimal, and this impacts the entire production chain.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On the other hand, she highlighted the current problems facing the <strong>business sector,</strong> marked by <strong>&#8220;high tax rates that encourage informality and business closures.&#8221;</strong> As a result of high taxes that leave no room for profit, businesses are considering abandoning formality or closing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Polesel also mentioned other reasons for this slow and stagnant context, such as <strong>deficiencies in the provision of basic public services, which lead to increased operating costs for businesses and companies,</strong> which are impossible to reflect in final products due to low demand.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The second vice president of Fedecámaras emphasized &#8220;the <strong>implementation of the Tax Harmonization Law,</strong> noting that most municipalities set their taxes at the maximum limit, without considering whether these rates are viable for taxpayers, generating unmanageable increases.&#8221;</p>
