MEXICO: López Obrador presents priority economic projects
After unveiling his general government plan last week [WR-18-28], this week Mexico’s President-elect Andrés Manuel López Obrador outlined the priority economic initiatives that his future administration will seek to pursue as soon as it assumes office in December. The main focus of these initiatives is to promote economic development and job creation in Mexico’s impoverished southern states. López Obrador says that promoting the economic development of the south will help to boost the domestic economy but also tackle the root causes of the irregular migration of individuals from theses states to the US. The challenge for the López Obrador government will be to show that its development plan for southern Mexico can succeed where countless other similar initiatives have failed.
