The head of government of Mexico City, Claudia Sheinbaum, met yesterday with businessman Carlos Slim with the main objective of seeking his support to boost private investment in the country. During her morning conference, Sheinbaum reported that the meeting at the National Palace also included the presence of Francisco Cervantes, president of the Business Coordinating Council, and discussed topics related to the economy and investment.
Sheinbaum detailed that she requested Slim's support to link private investment with public investment and contribute to the development of Mexico. According to the president, the conversation was described as very positive and constructive, also addressing internal issues such as Plan C and reform of the Judiciary, topics of interest to investors.
On the other hand, the proposal from Morena regarding the Constitutional Supremacy initiative, supported by Sheinbaum to strengthen the Amparo Law, was discussed. This proposal seeks to limit challenges to additions or reforms to the Constitution. Despite the uncertainty generated by these changes, Sheinbaum expressed confidence in the importance of maintaining calm amid the electoral process in the United States.
Slim appeared optimistic during the meeting, highlighting that "many good years are coming for Mexico" and emphasizing the importance of the USMCA for the complementarity between Mexico and the United States. Despite the volatility in financial markets, Sheinbaum and Slim agreed on Mexico's strength and potential for future collaborations with the United States.
In a context of uncertainty in the global investment landscape, this meeting between Sheinbaum and Slim aims to foster confidence and provide support for private investment in Mexico. They both agreed on the importance of working together to overcome current challenges and generate economic growth opportunities for the country.
