The Cámara Argentina de Comercio y Servicios (CAC) renewed part of its Board of Directors during its annual Ordinary General Assembly held on April 22. New members representing various entities and companies from across the country joined the board, reflecting the sectoral and territorial reach of the organization led by Natalio Mario Grinman.
Grinman said that recent years have been challenging for Argentina’s economy but noted that significant transformations are underway. “We come from very challenging years for the Argentine economy, but also from a period in which profound transformations have begun to be addressed. From CAC we have responsibly accompanied this process, convinced that macroeconomic stability is an indispensable condition for development,” Grinman said.
He also addressed progress made in fiscal management and regulatory simplification. “Advances in fiscal order, debureaucratization, and simplification are steps in the right direction, although there is still much to be done to create a truly competitive environment that encourages investment and formal employment,” he said.
Grinman emphasized the adaptability and resilience shown by the private sector: “The private sector continues to demonstrate its capacity for adaptation and resilience. Now we need to consolidate clear and predictable rules over time. Only then can we move from stabilization to a sustained growth stage.” He added that commerce and services play a fundamental role in economic recovery: “Commerce and services are fundamental drivers of activity and employment in Argentina. Strengthening them is key to boosting the domestic market and improving people’s quality of life.”
The new Executive Committee includes President Natalio Mario Grinman; Vice Presidents Eduardo Eurnekian, Guillermo Dietrich, Alberto Grimoldi; Secretary Ángel Machado; Treasurer Edgardo Phielipp; Prosecretary Bettina Bulgheroni; Protreasurer María Luisa Macchiavello; Prosecretary II Rodrigo Perez Graziano; Protreasurer II Martin Cabrales; with other board members listed from active partners as well as representatives from sectoral and territorial entities.
Since 1924, CAC has represented Argentina’s Commerce and Services sector according to principles of economic freedom and private initiative. The organization brings together numerous entities at both sectoral and territorial levels—including small, medium-sized, and large companies—and participates in major business associations while maintaining educational initiatives through its Private Institute and CAECE University.
Looking ahead, Grinman reaffirmed CAC’s institutional commitment: “From CAC we will continue working to make companies’ voices heard and contribute to public policies that promote investment, formality, and integration into the world. The challenge now is consolidating this path so expectations become concrete results.”
