«Today a serious problem that SMEs have is financing and high rates. Yese is paying in 70, 90, 120 days, which causes profitability to be lost. We are all in negotiations because with double-digit inflation like that of August it is impossible to support those payment terms,” he stressed in dialogue with Energía On in the live interview cycle of the Diario RÍO NEGRO.

We have indicated what the demands are like. And in some cases there is good complementarity. For example, in the metal mechanics industry in Córdoba. We are not closing ourselves but we are seeking to have a controlled entry«he explained.
«Our goal is that a good part of the income remains in Neuquén«he commented. These 450 companies employ around 30,000 employees in the region if the construction, commerce and oil services sector is added.
