Abstract

A pesar de su abundancia de recursos naturales, la posibilidad de que Argentina logre un crecimiento económico sostenido depende en gran medida de que pueda diversificar su estructura de exportaciones hacia bienes con mayor diferenciación y valor agregado. Sin embargo, los últimos 15 años no han mostrado avances en esa dirección. Las exportaciones reales (netas de precios) del país están estancadas y se concentran persistentemente en un reducido número de commodities, mientras que el número de exportadores es un tercio menor al de su máximo en 2006. Este trabajo describe en detalle este magro desempeño y analiza sus causas, entre las que se destacan la persistente inestabilidad macroeconómica y una política comercial fuertemente restrictiva. De todas formas, también es causa del estancamiento exportador la falta de una decidida orientación pro-exportadora de políticas, que permita aprovechar las oportunidades de inserción internacional a partir de una mayor diferenciación de producto que existen en el agro, la industria y los servicios basados en conocimiento. El trabajo desarrolla en profundidad el contenido de dicha orientación, considerando las políticas que lo componen y la necesidad de coordinar su implementación en el marco de estrategias sectoriales de inserción internacional.
