Overview

  • The government plans to audit 700,000 decrees, with only 70,000 currently digitized, as part of a broader regulatory overhaul under 'Proyecto Digesto.'
  • Federico Sturzenegger announced that multiple decrees will centralize decentralized agencies, reduce redundancies, and eliminate obsolete regulations.
  • The initiative has already resulted in the elimination of 42,000 public-sector jobs, saving $2 billion annually, with further streamlining expected.
  • Strategic institutions, including universities, the judiciary, Conicet, ANMAT, and Incaa, are exempt from major restructuring under the plan.
  • Details of the decrees, expected to significantly impact various state bodies, will be announced soon by presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni.
