Mexico City, January 4.- In his first press conference of the year, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador thanked business leaders for their support in the country's development and reiterated that in this sector, "they know very well that they have done well despite the pandemic," and they are aware of his government's support to promote investment.
He stated that they are also aware of the opportunities his administration has provided to invest, create jobs, and earn legitimate and reasonable profits.
Therefore, "they can't complain that business owners have been affected. Politics and ideology are one thing, but economic reality is quite another. For example, there have been no tax increases; I think business owners know this and acknowledge it," he said yesterday at the National Palace.
As another example of economic stability, he noted that the Stock Market posted gains of 20 percent in 2021, "and there is economic and financial stability that hasn't been seen for some time."
