In brief: Mexico City economic recovery plan unveiled
* The governor of Mexico City (CDMX), Claudia Sheinbaum, has unveiled a new economic recovery plan for the city, based on private investment of M$75bn (US$3.45bn) and public investment of M$40bn, of which M$22bn is from the federal government. Sheinbaum said that the plan aimed to create 300,000 jobs in 2020-2021, and that it had ten strategic areas. These include supporting social rights (such as for people with disabilities, older people, and those in education); a public investment plan; construction projects (private initiatives); a comprehensive regeneration of the historic centre; safe tourism; and digitalisation and economic support for the small and medium-sized enterprise sector (SMEs), among other things.
