I understand that, but you are using your previous experience to make your projections. But today, we are in an economy that is becoming globalized and we therefore cannot rely on what happened before.
We have been exporting and we still export some 80 percent of our manufacturing production to the United States. Due to globalization, we cannot control our dollar because of the influence of China which determines itself the value of its currency. We are unable to counterbalance the volume of China's exports to our market.
The main question I am asking myself is this: what do we do if the price of fuel and gas increases, if the value of the dollar increases and we are no longer competitive? The Americans will no longer buy our products if our dollar is worth US$1.10. They will buy elsewhere, on other international markets. What will we do then? Will we sink into recession?
