Venamcham calls the government for further talks

The Venezuelan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Venamcham) advocated "open dialogue" between the Venezuelan government and the private sector.

Venamcham president Carlos Tejera voiced concern about the sinking domestic production as imports skyrocket. This means that the production sector is "battered."

Nobody wants shortage; all of we want to create jobs; therefore, we need to join efforts," he predicated.

The executive director lamented that the business sector has not fully assimilated the impact of the Labor Law and the Law on Fair Costs and Prices, insofar as it has to fit in new legal instruments endorsed via enabling law, in the absence of previous talks.

Further, the Venamcham president reported that trade exchange with the United States remains strong, particularly in the field of import of food and machinery.
