Conindustria solicitó igualdad de condiciones ante la posible llegada de empresas transnacionales a Venezuela
Conindustria detalló que el sector privado se encuentra en una etapa de vigilancia y revisión ante variables que incluyen la flexibilización de convenios internacionales
TL;DR
- The private sector is in a stage of vigilance and review due to variables including international agreement flexibilization.
- Legal security is crucial for the national industrial park, which operates at 48.9% capacity but has the potential to exceed 50%.
- Foreign corporations entering the market must do so under equitable conditions to avoid harming Venezuelan industries.
- Venezuelan businessmen are willing to make their plants available to increase production and generate employment.
- The country must leverage current international oil prices to support other productive sectors and reduce economic dependence.
- While food and pharmaceutical sectors have grown, strategic sectors like metallurgy and automotive operate at only 12-13% capacity.
- Interconnection between industries is vital, as sectors like pharmaceuticals rely on national inputs.
- The industry is requesting a review of laws in the National Assembly to establish fiscal and parafiscal incentives.
- Specific requests include reducing VAT days, effective use of tax credits, expanding special taxpayer bases, and rigorous application of the Tax Harmonization Law.
- Increased lending, access to foreign currency, and revised public policies can make Venezuelan production more competitive and improve labor income.
- The private sector currently pays an average of $260, which is considered insufficient but projected to increase significantly by the end of 2026.
- Achieving higher salaries requires the National Assembly to review the Organic Labor Law and the sovereign fund proposed by the Executive.
