Tax reform: these are the commitments reported by the president’s office

President Iván Duque highlighted the commitment of entrepreneurs with the institutional framework and with the goal of hiring more than 600,000 young people in the second half of the year.

President Iván Duque highlighted this Tuesday the commitment expressed by entrepreneurs to join the strategy to generate youth employment, thanks to the 25% subsidy to be granted by the Government for this purpose, as well as the policies of safe reactivation and mass vaccination of Colombians.

“We have seen the commitment of these guilds to join the 25% subsidy program, equivalent to social security, to hire young people between 18 and 28 years old as of July 1”, said the Head of State in a statement at the conclusion of a meeting with representatives of binational chambers of commerce and companies of the logistics, value added, family compensation funds, dairy and health services sectors, among others.

“These unions are not only going to participate in these work tables to accelerate this hiring, but also join everything the private sector has said to generate more than 600,000 jobs in the second half of 2021,” he said.

The President has held constant meetings with businessmen to whom he has expressed his commitment to a safe reactivation of the economy, the massive vaccination and the hiring of young people, as well as the rejection of violence and blockades.

“I would also like to highlight the commitment of the unions to advance in mass vaccination, joining other union representations to contribute resources, acquire vaccines and accelerate the pace of application throughout the national territory”, said the President.

Likewise, Duque valued the support of the unions for a healthy and clear discussion on how to obtain fiscal resources, protect the most vulnerable and stabilize the nation’s public finances, starting on July 20 in Congress.

He stressed that the bill to be presented will not affect in any way neither the middle class nor the most vulnerable classes. “On the contrary: the greatest efficiency and participation of the business sector will also be sought for this purpose”, he specified.

He also highlighted the support of the businessmen to the institutionality and the total and absolute rejection to any form of violence and blockades, due to the damage they have caused to the country.

“I value this support to the public force, at the same time with all the demand to the highest standards in the protection of human rights. Today, once again, we see the great commitment of the private sector to make this year a year of safe reactivation, of massive vaccination, of attending to the most vulnerable, of stabilizing the nation’s public finances, and of protecting the youth of our country, with a series of important job creation programs”, he pointed out.
