[HIGHLIGHTS] The Government provides dollars to import food, but has not yet lowered taxes

The Government provides dollars to import food, but has not yet lowered taxes. Banks must implement the regulations of the Central Bank.

Local industries fear a flood of almost 3,000 products into the country. While the INDEC reported last week that inflation in February fell to 13.2% monthly (below what the market expected), the Government is concerned about the March data. The consulting firms estimate a slight acceleration that could bring the index to around 15% due to the inertia still present, the adjustments in services and the joint ventures.
