Governor Rocío Nahle García, in coordination with the private sector, announced 17 projects completed during the first quarter of the year, representing an investment of 1,186 million dollars and the estimated generation of 22,371 jobs, reflecting business confidence in Veracruz.
From the Flag Hall of the Government Palace, she highlighted that the arrival of capital translates into opportunities for Veracruz families, by promoting growth with social justice, well-being, and respect for the environment.
“In Veracruz, we are doing the right thing: promoting production, strengthening our internal economy, and creating conditions for investments to translate into well-being for people.”
She emphasized that the state has strategic advantages such as its location, port infrastructure, and human capital, which allow it to attract investments, generate employment, strengthen national production, and reduce dependence on imports.
Similarly, she reiterated that her administration promotes the simplification of procedures, regulatory improvement, and the fight against corruption, in order to provide legal certainty and expedite the implementation of projects, under criteria of order, discipline, and environmental care.
The Secretary of Economic and Port Development, Ernesto Pérez Astorga, reported that the investment is distributed across the state's 10 economic regions, which favors balanced development with territorial impact.
The regions of Las Montañas stand out with 501 million dollars; the Capital region, with 214 million, and Sotavento, with 157 million, among others.
By sector, 45% is concentrated in agricultural activities, mainly poultry; followed by manufacturing industries and commerce, reflecting a diversified and growing economy.
In addition, he pointed out that these announcements respond to an active policy of attracting investment, business accompaniment, and strengthening the state's logistical infrastructure.
“There is a clear bet on shared prosperity, on a growth that is not concentrated but distributed throughout the territory and integrates strategic sectors such as agricultural, manufacturing, commercial, and logistical.”
