Joshua Rosner,* who has advised the Argentine business community and public sector in recent years on how the government can best avoid crisis and secure the future, will present a new report, Closing the Gap Between Policy and Public Opinion.  His analysis is informed by new research on the public’s perceptions of Argentina’s economy and public policies commissioned by Graham Fisher and conducted by Argentina's leading pollster, Dr. Sergio Berensztein.**  

Dr. Berensztein will present findings from two studies (Argentina's Economic & Political Environment According to Opinion Leaders; and Argentines' Public Attitudes Toward the Economic & Political Environment).  He offers a surprising set of new data points on Argentina's comparative political and business environment, including perception of inflation, consumer confidence and approval levels for government management and engagement with international markets and the US business community.
