Carlos Fernández, president of Fedecámaras, estimates that the private sector will register a growth between 1 % and 2 % compared to 2020, despite the absence of a public policy and strategies by the State directed towards the private economic sector from the country.
Fernández says that growth is difficult to explain due to economic limitations, such as the lack of stimulus and the absence of financial credits, as well as the general deterioration of all public services, the lack of fuel (diesel and gasoline). Nevertheless, almost all the sectors of the private economy have reported signs of recovery during the last semester of 2021.
For the maximum business leader, the operational limitations of the organizations have increased and the different economic agents have had to reinvest and be creative in the design and execution of different strategies to face and adapt to the reality of the country. They have implemented “more business models close to the market economy, far from income and the crutch of the state or any distortion created by state intervention ”, generating “a very interesting business model in a smaller market,” according to Fernández.
The representative of the businessmen considers that the months of November and December, which were decreed as flexible, becomes a great opportunity to demonstrate that it is possible to work as long as the biosafety measures and the deepening of the vaccination process for the population are complied with.
Elections stop dialogue
At the beginning of the year, the economic sector made a series of proposals to the government, before the Dialogue Commission of the National Assembly, which facilitated some exchanges between government representatives and the economic sector for some guidelines to boost the economic sector and leverage the economic recovery.
However, the political process and the elections of governors, mayors and municipal representatives paralyzed the work that had been carried out with the Dialogue Commission. “We are waiting for November 21 to pass to take up some proposals, launch a work methodology that, perhaps, can make the dialogue process a little more efficient,” indicated the president of Fedecámaras.
Fernández acknowledges that there is intention and good will on the part of the political sector, “but that in the end we have not managed to materialize it.”
