President Mauricio Macri made his first speech at the G20 leaders' summit, in which he said that the Argentine economy has begun to show "signs of improvement" and thanked the international community for its support of his government. These are some of the main quotes from his speech.
1. "After a difficult 2018, there is good news. This year we are on track to achieve the goal of fiscal balance, "This implies a reduction of the deficit by 5 points of GDP in 4 years. In addition, exports will grow in double digits this year for the first time since 2011," he said.
2."This shows that we are correcting the accumulated imbalances "during the previous administration, which left so many Argentines in poverty and prevented us from growing. Today the country is ready to benefit from the structural reforms that we have promoted during these last three and a half years."
3."It was crucial for Argentines to move forward on a path of integrated development with the world once and for all."
4."The joint action of nations puts us in the best position to face the challenges of our time", especially achieving inclusive growth. That is our primary objective. Let us continue working to build a collective future that is both equitable and sustainable.”
5.“We can only achieve this by working together.”"through greater interconnection of our economies that promotes job creation, quality education, innovation and the inclusion of SMEs in global value chains."
