The goals of economic growth and generation of employment sources planned by the federal government for next year will be achieved thanks to the strategy in this matter, with the promotion of the State and an industrialization policy to produce what is currently imported, he said yesterday. President Claudia Sheinbaum.
In addition, he ruled out that the extinction of the Federal Economic Competition Commission (Cofece) will generate an increase in prices and accused that this body was dedicated to avoiding the strengthening of public companies
.
Asked about the growth projections for next year, she recalled that the economic package sent by her administration to the Congress of the Union proposes that there will be a growth of 2.3 percent
and related that in the recent meetings he has had with representatives of the financial rating agencies, “they ask us: ‘what do we base that on?’, in that we not only let the market do its job, we are part of the drive for development economic”.
During the neoliberal period, he added, the idea that the State should participate and boost the economy was abandoned. “It was even said that ‘there should be no industrial policy’, which is the greatest absurdity.”
In his morning press conference, Sheinbaum stressed that, on the contrary, his government proposes, together with the business sector, a strategy called Plan Mexico, which includes an increase in industrialization in Mexico, to produce in the country what we are importing today
.
He highlighted that this plan will allow both an increase in the minimum wage and greater job creation as it is focused on the economic development of the country.
These measures, he insisted, help those who have the least, while at the same time gives enormous strength to the Mexican economy, because it boosts the internal market
.
Meanwhile, regarding the versions that outline that prices will increase and monopolies will increase with the extinction of Cofece, he questioned: What did Cofece do to reduce the true private monopolies that exist in Mexico?
What he did do, he added, was point out that the purchase of the Iberdrola plants could not be completed in the last six years, under the argument that the CFE was going to monopolize the sector.
