What changed and who it applies to

What changed
The Secretariat of Industry and Commerce (Ministry of Economy) repeals as a block the intervention resolutions and provisions on domestic trade that it had issued as Enforcement Authority, listed in an Annex (IF-2025-138332719-APN-SSDCYLC#MEC). The recitals identify, among the matters left without effect, the price control of certain products, the Argentine Wheat Stabilization Fund (FETA) and the fee obligation of private educational institutes (repeal of Decreto 2.417/1993). It is part of the official domestic-trade deregulation package announced on 06/09/2026 (which the press quantified at 58 rules, repealed between this resolution and Provision 534/2026). verif Jun 9, 2026 ↗

Our reading

Textbook deregulation (R-desregulación): the State withdraws its own intervention structure over domestic trade —price controls, stabilization funds, directed credit— and returns price signals to the market. It belongs to the family of regulatory prunings that runs through the entire Sturzenegger/Economy program; for companies and investors it lowers the compliance cost and legal uncertainty. Cross-cutting impact (not provincial), confined to domestic-market operations. thesis

Neuquén Among the rules repealed is Decreto 2.417/1993, which regulated private school fees. In the Neuquén corridor demand for private schooling is created by high oil wages, and supply did not follow because a capped fee could not pay the teaching salary needed to attract staff to an expensive town. Without the cap, a supply response becomes possible. favorable cheaper to respond: investing takes time, held-back supply shows up at once thesis
