On March 5, our Public Policy, Risk & Strategy Manager, Martín Planes, and our Senior Analyst, Santiago Ott, were featured in The Latin American Advisor, a daily publication of The Dialogue, where they provided their insights on how the delay in the Paraná dredging project could affect Argentina’s long-term economic development.
Planes and Ott commented that “The cancellation of this project may not cause immediate disruption as currently, under very low maintenance, the Paraná continues to serve ships in accessing ports”. They also highlighted that “Insufficient maintenance of navigable channels raises costs and weakens Argentina’s agricultural export competitiveness, ultimately affecting long-term economic performance”.
