During the official mission, which involved meetings with investors and entrepreneurs, there was an emphasis on the growth potential and the renewed confidence in the investment environment in the country.

On Tuesday, prior to embarking on the return journey, the Chief of Staff held meetings with a group of investors who are members of the Global Capital Markets Advisory Council of the Milken Institute, to whom he presented the economic reforms made by the National Government and the progress achieved in the first months of governmental management.

On Monday afternoon, the Chief of Staff had a meeting with Michael Lebovich, Vice President of Global Public Policy at The Walt Disney Company. They discussed the potential for the development of the audiovisual industry in Argentina and the future exchange of know-how regarding regulations to establish a regionally competitive industry, thereby attracting more productions to the country.

During the trip, Nicolás Posse and the Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo, met with investors from top-tier companies such as Citi, IBM, Chevron, Blackstone, Carlyle, Fortress, and Eldridge.

As part of this interest, bilateral visits are being scheduled, and soon, a Saudi mission will be received in Argentina to assess the proposed projects in depth.

They also discussed investment opportunities in the country within the framework of the measures being taken by the national government to open up to the world. They discussed a possible visit by a Saudi Arabian delegation after June to specifically analyze potential projects.
