MEXICO CITY.- This Thursday, during its usual “People’s Conference”, the president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardorejected the warning of the agencia Fitch Ratingswho pointed out that the reform of the Amparo Law could increase the regulatory risk for companies.
At the National Palace, Claudia Sheinbaum affirmed that the rating agency “is wrong” and assured that Mexico continues to be a country open to investment.
“They are wrong. It would be necessary to explain to them. We are going to ask the Secretary of the Treasury to invite the minister one day when he meets with the rating agencies so that he can explain in detail that there is no problem for the investment,” said the president.

Claudia Sheinbaum stressed that the reform does not represent a threat to the private sector nor does it limit investors’ guarantees.
“To all private investors, this reform does not in any way go against investment. On the contrary, it makes the application of justice much more efficient,” he said.
The President reiterated that Mexico maintains its economic openness and recalled that she recently expressed this to representatives of the World Economic Forum in Davos, who visited the country.
“I said it a few days ago when those from the Davos Economic Forum were here: Mexico is open to investment and all these modifications that have been made do not prevent private investment in any way. What we are looking for is that there is well-being for the people,” he emphasized.
“36 years of surrender”
The president also took the opportunity to criticize the previous economic model, which she described as “36 years of surrender,” in which, she said, foreign investment was promoted under the idea that Mexico offered cheap labor.
“There were 36 years of surrender and a lot of pain for the people of Mexico, 36 years without increasing the minimum wage and with the story that it would cause inflation. Before they said: come and invest in Mexico because there is cheap labor here. Now we say: come and invest in Mexico because Mexicans are workers,” he concluded.
