One of the reasons tech is doing really well here in the last ten years despite the governments is that you don't need a lot of imports to work on IT except for the computers, the customers abroad are easily reached through internet and also you don't pay export taxes like you would if you would export meat or soy. People are really well educated as education up to a bachelor's degree is completely free.
What used to be difficult is getting money into the country, something that sounds as crazy as it really is and all of the different white grey and black exchange rates. I had to send money to a US account owned by somebody that would promise to pay me in pesos here because there just was no other way to do it. That really made me nervous.
Also I couldn't pay my bills abroad because I couldn't send any money if nothing was left on my foreign accounts.
