International-class talents, stocks of the third world: which sector suffers the loss of a multimillion-dollar business

Although the Knowledge Economy Law offers various incentives to the sector, there is a sub-field in which Argentina has world-class talent that is fighting to survive.

This is the video game industry , one of the most affected by the stocks . Almost 90% are made up of micro and small companies that, not having the resources to overcome the crisis, must sell double or triple to maintain their operation and their place in the global market.

It is the entertainment industry with the highest turnover globally: US$160 billion annually (vs. US$19 billion for cinema). Workmotion assures that Argentina can be a key player:

• It is the main country globally to hire junior talent

• It is the third most important to look for senior developers

He also highlights the problem of the dollar: " Local salaries are 75% lower on average among the 25 countries with the highest GDP."

• There are 126 developer studios, which employ 1,646 professionals

• 43 small and 10 large games released in 2022

• Sells 35% to the US and Canada, 12% to Europe, 42% to Argentina

Colombian Dollar: This will move it during the week

 The dollar in Colombia ended last week with new falls and leading the exchange rate to reach $4,000.

The US currency maintains its behavior tied to what is happening with the economic activity of the United States and various local scenarios that include some outcomes of political events.

In this way, the dollar in Colombia , after even having fallen below the $4,000 barrier , is now awaiting new messages from the FED about the future of inflation.

Although in its most recent meeting the FED stated that it did not rule out a new increase in interest rates at the end of the year, there are some data that may lead to a scenario of stability in the future.

On the one hand, for example, the United States labor market left an unemployment rate higher than what the market was predicting.

Will the dollar rise in Colombia?

The above led the market to understand that, at least from the consumption side, inflation could account for a context of stability.

Argentine Cardinal Eduardo Pironio will be declared blessed

 The Argentine Cardinal Eduardo Pironio (1920-1998), noted as the “inventor” of the World Youth Days (WYD) and considered “papable” in 1978, will be declared blessed. Pope Francis, who knew him well and promoted his cause, approved this Wednesday the miracle attributed to his intercession with the promulgation of the corresponding decree of the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints.

El #PapaFrancisco aprobó hoy, miércoles 8 de noviembre, el decreto de la Congregación para las Causa de los Santos que reconoce el milagro atribuido al venerable cardenal argentino Eduardo Francisco Pironio, nacido en 1920 en la localidad de 9 de Julio; fallecido en Roma en 1998. pic.twitter.com/RLmb97pcav

It is about the miraculous healing of Juan Manuel Franco, a one and a half year old boy from Mar del Plata - the city where Pironio was bishop -, poisoned by inhaling the glitter used by his mother for restoration work. The child had involuntarily aspirated and ingested it, which had caused acute respiratory distress syndrome (SDS) and he was about to die. As Vatican News recalled, it was December 2, 2006 and that day the so-called “March of Hope” was celebrated, an initiative devised by Pironio.

For the occasion the parish priest had distributed a small card with the figure of the cardinal. The little boy's parents, from that moment on, began to ask for his intercession, reciting the prayer that appeared on the card. Two days later, the first improvements began to be noticed. Five days later, the baby was reactive, lucid, and breathing spontaneously. And on December 13 he was discharged from the hospital, in a case that later laid the foundations for the advancement of the cause of beatification of 

Pironio, a remembered figure of the Argentine Church and the Roman Curia.
