Ernesto Zedillo is remembered as one of Mexico's best presidents for his focus on human capital and economic growth. In a recent column, analyst Enrique Quintana points out the lack of trust from the private sector in government actions to boost the economy through the Mexico Plan.
During his term, the peso strengthened, the economy grew, and social programs were implemented to benefit vulnerable sectors. Although he was criticized for decisions such as the bailout for savers, Zedillo left a significant legacy, including the creation of Afores and the implementation of stable economic policies.
His administration was characterized by transparency and the absence of personal scandals. Zedillo maintained a firm stance on delicate situations, such as the Acteal tragedy, and focused on strengthening the national economy, accumulating reserves and promoting investment in human capital.
Investment in education, health, and human development is fundamental for the sustainable growth of a country, generating long-term benefits. Zedillo is recognized for his commitment to the well-being of the population and his focus on building a strong future based on human capital.
Despite the criticisms and challenges during his tenure, Ernesto Zedillo left a positive legacy that highlights the importance of investing in people to drive social and economic development. His trajectory shows that human capital is one of the most valuable investments that can be made, with a lasting impact on society and people's lives.
