Questioned about economic expectations, and the fact that businessman Carlos Slim has praised the national economy, the Minister of Economy maintained that the situation in Mexico “is unbeatable.”

Slim, who last week participated in a press conference at the UNAM Law School, announced that he sees employment opportunities and economic prosperity for the country, with a economic growth close to 6% .

He added that, as a result of the proximity to the United States and the need to strengthen regional markets, “there is a list of just over 400 companies that want to relocate here, in Mexico.”

For next year, the Ministry of Finance estimates growth of up to 3%.

Buenrostro reiterated the possibility of having “important investments” that translate into more formal employment.

“We are working hard not only to reach the goal (of economic growth), but to attract the greatest possible investment and greatly improve formal jobs,” insisted Secretary Buenrostro.
