Oxygen puff by operators.
The decision to “exceptionally” release the imported goods blocked at the port level is a relief for the economic operators concerned, which had been taken short by the new requirement of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and the Promotion of Exports, relating to the submission of the provisional import program. This is what the expert in economics Brahim Guendouzi said.
These operators, he pointed out in a declaration to Independent younghad already launched import operations. The goods have arrived but remained blocked in terms of ports in particular. These operators, in a way, underwent the new measure of the Ministry of Foreign Trade concerning the importation of goods and services, and could therefore not clear imported goods.
The decision to the day before yesterday, during a meeting co-chaired by the Minister of Foreign Trade and that of finance, devoted to the examination of the situation of imported goods blocked at the level of the ports, will therefore make it possible to “clear these goods and apply the new measure”, estimated Mr. Guendouzi, which recalls that these goods contain perishable products and above all necessary raw materials.
The decision to release all the goods blocked in terms of ports, airports and areas under customs control is also qualified as oxygen puff by economic operators. This is what Farouk Moukah claimed by the Algerian Confederation of Patronage (CAP). Stressing the importance of this “laudable” measure which will allow, in some cases, to resume production and thus respond to the commitments made by companies for export, and also to provide goods and services at the local level, he nevertheless questioned the fate of imported goods which will be received beyond August 3.
Moukah also mentioned the consequences of blocking goods at the port level, namely the cost of overestaries caused by this situation. “Who will pay for these costs?” “He asked himself, before returning to the new measure of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, relating to the submission of the provisional import program. Saying to support any approach aimed at the protection of the national economy, he stressed the need to review things in substance and above all the importance of taking into consideration the reality on the ground. This passes, said Moukah, by the involvement of economic operators in decision -making.
Regarding the submission of the provisional import program, he considered that it is necessary to extend the date of implementation of this measure, knowing that the deposit times are set for August 10. A measure taken after the urgent requests expressed by economic operators.
“It is necessary to give the time it takes to apply this measure,” he said, reporting a number of questions expressed by economic operators.
Note that the situation of goods blocked at the ports was in the order of a meeting which brought together the ministers of foreign trade and finance, in the presence of the Director General of Customs, General Major, Director General of the Algerian Investment Promotion Agency (AAPI), President of the Algerian Economic Renewal Council (CREA), representatives of the Bank of Algeria, and the association of banks and financial establishments and financial establishments (Abef). A meeting which is part of the implementation of the guidelines of the highest authorities in the country, it has been underlined.
