information
At the end of 2015 Argentina elected a new President with a completely different view from the
administrations that ruled for the previous 12 years. There is now a new approach to the financial
system, more integrated to the world and with a strong focus on the regional economies within the
country. In that sense, several protective regulations were abolished and export taxes lowered. The
new economic context helped MATba’s volume in 2016 which increased by 10.91%.
