Podiumsdiskussion Deregulation as a driver for growth

Since President Javier Milei took office, Argentina has pursued an exceptionally far-reaching reform agenda. Alongside economic stabilization, the focus lies in particular on reducing state regulation, bureaucratic structures, and administrative barriers. Reducing bureaucracy has also been a central demand from business and society in Germany for years, but progress so far has been rather modest and has got bogged down in small-scale details.

Dr. Federico Sturzenegger heads the Argentina Ministry of Deregulation and State Transformation and is considered one of the architects of the reform programme in the country. He will be joined in conversation by Henning Höne, Chairman of the Free Democrats (FDP) in North Rhine-Westphalia and Chairman of the FDP parliamentary group in the state parliament, and by Dr. Marius Kleinheyer, Senior Research Analyst at the Flossbach von Storch Research Institute, to discuss what Argentina has actually changed and which approaches could also be of interest to Germany. The event will be moderated by Dr. Hans-Dieter Holtzmann, Project Director for Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay at the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom.

Please note that the event will be held in English and will not be interpreted.
