Argentina's Idustry and ForeignTrade Secretary announced the lifting until December 1989 of
import taxes on capital goods not produced in the country.
    Roberto Lavagna in a news conference also said Argentina
would create a special programme for promoting industry and was
studying a system of temporary, automatic and generalised
admission of goods from neighbouring Brazil.
    Lavagna said the measures were in line with an adjustment
in economic policy to stall a new upsurge in inflation. The
government last week froze prices and wages and devalued the
Austral six pct against the dollar.
