Mr. Trejo pointed out that there is a need for trust, legal certainty, the need to control the great fiscal voracity and improving basic services so that the business community can continue advancing.

He pointed out that the hardest hit sectors are construction, manufacturing and industrial, while commerce, pharmacies, communications and tourism sectors have registered greater movement.

“In 2022 we closed quite well, there was growth on the part of the national business community and we could say that in this first quarter of the year there is stability. We are not growing as we expected (…) In the second quarter we hope confidence will recover again and we will return to have that push to close 2023 positively,” Trejo said.
