TheMinistry of Productive Development (Spanish:Ministerio de Desarrollo Productivo) ofArgentina was aministry of thenational executive power overseeing and advising on the promotion ofindustrial policies andforeign trade in Argentina.
Starting from its establishment in 1949, it was variously called Ministry of Industry, Industry and Commerce, Industry and Mining, Production, and Production and Labour. The ministry received its last name in 2019 in the cabinet of PresidentAlberto Fernández; its last minister isDaniel Scioli. It was dissolved in August 2022 as part of a cabinet reorganization process; the Production portfolio currently stands as a secretariat of theMinistry of Economy.
The Ministry of Productive Development was originally founded as the Ministry of Industry and Commerce in 1949, during the presidency ofJuan Domingo Perón. Perón was especially interested in industrializing the Argentine economy, which at the time was heavily dependent onagriculture.[2] The first minister in the portfolio was José Constantino Barro, who served during Perón's first presidential term from 1949 until 1952.[3] In Perón's second presidential term, the ministry was renamed to simply "Ministry of Industry", a name that was retained by the military governments ofEduardo Lonardi andPedro Eugenio Aramburu.[4]
Successive administrations revived the ministry under various names and with various additional responsibilities, including that of commerce and mining; otherwise the industry and production portfolios were organized as secretariats of theTreasury Ministry. Since 2019, the Ministry's official name is Ministry of Productive Development, withMatías Kulfas at its helm.[5]
At the time of its dissolution in August 2022, the Ministry of Productive Development counted with a number of centralized and decentralized dependencies. The centralized dependencies, as in other government ministers, were known as secretariats (secretarías) and undersecretariats (subsecretarías), as well as a number of other centralized agencies:[6][7]
Several decentralized agencies also reported to the Ministry of Productive Development, such as theNational Institute of Industrial Technology (INTI), the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI), the Buenos Aires Central Market, and the Banco de Inversión y Comercio Exterior.[8][9][10]
The Ministry of Productive Development was headquartered in thePalacio de Hacienda ("Palace of the Treasury"), located in theMonserratbarrio inBuenos Aires, which has historically housed theMinistry of Economy (formerly known as the Ministry of the Treasury) as well as other ministerial portfolios such aspublic works andtransport.[11] The building was built in two stages from 1937 to 1950 and stands on Hipólito Yrigoyen street, across from the emblematicPlaza de Mayo square and theCasa Rosada, seat of thePresidency.[12]
