The president of the National Association of Young Entrepreneurs (ANJE), Manuel Diez Cabral, says that if the incoming government chooses to extend the period for the application of the 5% tax on exports and 2% on imports, it would send a chilling message to investors and businesspeople and would affect business confidence. Diez Cabral expressed his concern regarding press reports that the new authorities are contemplating keeping the taxes that are due to expire prior to the inception of the new administration. Furthermore, the president of ANJE expressed his concern that IMF officers are lobbying the government to approve new transitory taxes.
