Mexico’s President, Claudia Sheinbaum, met on Wednesday with dozens of businessmen at the National Palace to propose creating a private sector council to encourage investments. The group is headed by businessman Carlos Slim, president of Grupo Carso, and Bernardo Gómez, president of Grupo Televisa. Facing a sluggish Mexican economy – which fell by 0.3% in the third quarter of this year – the president has outlined a national agreement with businessmen from across the country to explore and accelerate investments capable of pulling Mexico out of its economic slumber.
Altagracia Gomez, Chairman of the Business Advisory Council and President of the Mensa Group, announced that the call with 15 Mexican businessmen marked the launch of this new council. After concluding the meeting, he said: “It is about following up on investments, how we can accelerate them, and what can be done better in mixed investments, in infrastructure, in energy, in some services. The idea is that this other table is the one that gives the idea of opening more spaces, that we see more businessmen, and learn more points of view. The idea is to continue expanding communication with businessmen from different regions of the country.”
