Our reading

Fewer loss-making companies inside the State = less spending to finance (R1 · lowers country risk) and more private capital operating real logistics: a modernized Belgrano Cargas lowers the export cost of the north and agriculture, and feeds the Greater Rosario ports (R5 · better export netback). thesis
