E&R Economia y Regiones

Economía y Regiones S.A. is an Argentine company specialized in financial and economic consulting services, covering different aspects related to government policies and regional development. We provide consulting services to both the private and the public sector.

The private sector needs specific guidance and consulting services in order to detect niches for investment and business opportunities, especially vis-à-vis the huge economic potential of the regional economies. Economía y Regiones S.A. focuses on conducting studies, research and diagnosis by sector and provides the necessary technical assistance so that the different companies can successfully set up the new business in its various stages.

The mainstay of modernization and sustainable growth in Argentina today lies in both improving the efficiency of the public sector and furthering regional development. In this respect, Economía y Regiones S.A. provides tax and financial services and training to public administration officials and staff; conducts technical audits; and supports the planning, implementation and follow-up of government policies, as well as the implementation of strategic plans for local and regional development.

The staff at Economía y Regiones S.A. is made up of highly qualified professionals with technical expertise in the areas already mentioned as well as in all the matters related to government policies, both at national and international level.

The Board of Directors knows in depth the fiscal, financial and economic situation of the different municipalities and provinces in the country. Together with other staff, they have actively participated in the design and execution of provincial and national structural reforms, such as the privatization of state-run companies, the public administration reengineering process, and the implementation of financial management and public investment systems, among others.

Moreover, in our capacity as responsible managers of the Trustee Fund for Provincial Development (Fondo Fiduciario para el Desarrollo Provincial), a program for privatizing provincial state-run banks, we took part in the successful privatization of 17 provincial banks.

Since its inception Economía y Regiones S.A. and his professionals associated have participated in many M&A processes, local and internationally. We keep a very close relationship with institutional and private investors, which are carefully selected according to their investment strategy and the profile of the transaction. We provide integrated advice in all phases of the M&A process, including critical analysis of tax, legal, accounting, regulatory and economic aspects.

It is precisely this knowledge of regional matters that enables us to describe Economía y Regiones S.A. as one of the few consulting firms in the country which can effectively respond to all requirements from provincial and municipal governments. Thus, Economía y Regiones S.A. is at the highest level of advisory services to the private companies which are interested in investing in the Argentine provinces.
