After the General Director of the National Water Authority, Ephran Morales 17 water infrastructure plans outlined It is to be built in Mexico in the coming years, President Claudia Shinebam opened his morning press conference to questions.
Reporters have questioned the president on a number of issues, including the vision of the Mexican economy and one of the world’s most owed oil companies, including Pemex’s health.
‘We are working, so there is investment’
After three days after President Donald Trump Refused to reject the possibility of recession in the United States this year.
“This is the work of the project Mexico,” he replied, notes The ambitious economic effort of his government.
“For example, I meet with the Finance Minister every Monday.
“… I then meet the Economic Minister … and we look at the portfolio of investments (and what should we offer, what should we do,” he said.
“… The market will decide everything,” but we work, but we are working, so investment (and) improvement is found in big economic indicators and how welfare programs are going on, “Shinbam said.
“… we help reduce the impact of the task we do (the recession in the United States) and the greater growth and growth,” he said.
‘The economy of Mexico is doing the best’
Shinbam expressed confidence that the Mexican economy would not go to the recession in a close period.
“We hope we can advance … under any circumstances,” he said.
Sheinbam has agreed that the US government can impose new fees on Mexican goods when it comes to mutual fees for its business partners next month. (Steel and aluminum charges came into effect today.)
However, he again voiced confidence that Mexico would avoid additional obligations because most of the imports from the United States were not charged.
Although economic growth Predict that this year will significantly decreaseThe president declared, “Mexico’s economy is doing very well,” the president declared.
Shinbam noted that Mexico has an “open line” with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which can be used in adverse economic situations. The current Mexican government received a public loan of more than $ 850 billion from its predecessorsBut the president said that his administration did not believe that he needed financial assistance from the IMF.
“At this time we don’t see this as an option because the tax collection is very good and incredibly good,” said Sheinbam.
“… So we don’t believe this is necessary; We are doing better. But in the last attempt, there is a tax (the International Monetary Fund) if necessary, ”he said.
‘If that is not the loss of energy sovereignty, what is it?’
Shinbam also aimed at previous governments, led by former President Andrez Manuel Lopez Oprador to add additional debt and oversee the production of the state oil company.
“They put the pemex on the debt, and it was increasingly produced with low oil and purified low gasoline and diesel,” he said.
Sheinbam stressed that the company’s resources were lost in corruption in the years before Lopez Obrador took office.
He showed a map showing that Pemex’s debt increased from US $ 68.9 billion to $ 68.9 billion in 2007 to $ 132.3 billion during the presidency of Belippe Calderon in 2018, which was the last year of the six -year year of former President Enrik Pana Neeto. The map shows that the state oil company’s debt was $ 99.4 billion in 2024 by the final year of Lopez Oparer’s presidency.
“The most amazing thing is that the debt has doubled (between 2007 and 2018) and imported more gasoline,” said Sheinbam.
“If it is not the loss of energy sovereignty, what is it? Adding a public company to debt and producing and importing less (oil) (more) – this is a loss of sovereignty, ”he said.
“This change started with President Lopez Obert and we offer a continuation,” said Shinebam, its government has Enables A Energy reform It seeks to strengthen both Bemex and the state -owned corporation Electricity Authority.
Amlo promised to achieve self -sufficiency for petrol during his presidential periodBut failed. Want to see if Shinbam can reach That purpose Before she left her post in 2030.
