00:00President Claudia Sheinbaum presented the Mexico Plan, a national and social economic

00:05development agenda made up of 13 goals, whose objective is to reduce poverty and inequality.

00:11Antonio Aranda brings us more details.

00:16Mexico seeks to consolidate its position as one of the most economically developed countries

00:21by attracting foreign investment and strengthening the domestic market through the Mexico Plan.

00:26Miguel is a walnut producer.

00:32His seeds follow an artisanal process, and he believes that the strategy should be an

00:37opportunity to technify the field.

00:42It is important to consume national products.

00:45In my case, I support agriculture.

00:51In the countryside, the main problem is technification.

00:54We are far behind our main competitors in walnuts, the United States.

00:58They are very technified and reduce many costs.

01:00We have to spend a lot of money to do it in a more traditional way, and that creates a

01:04disadvantage for us.

01:11Substituting imports and increasing domestic content in manufacturing is part of the Mexico

01:16Plan.

01:17Carolina acknowledges that this protects domestic jobs.

01:24With the plan, we increase the country's economy, and we favor jobs and, in general,

01:28the country's economy as a whole.

01:35We avoid importing so many products, and the products that we consume are at better prices.

01:40And on the other hand, we strengthen the entire agricultural sector.

01:49The Mexico Plan is a public, private and foreign investment route for at least $277

01:54billion, which seeks the integration of North America.

02:02This speaks to us, or is a reflection of what Claudia Scheinbaum is looking for during her

02:06six-year term.

02:08We can take this as the real national development plan.

02:11I would like to highlight that, in general, there are several components of the plan that

02:14wink at the new United States administration.

02:17That is, the president seeks to integrate the North American region, she seeks to increase

02:22Mexican production and replace imports from China, which is a priority issue for the new

02:27United States administration.

02:34President Claudia Scheinbaum aims to make Mexico's economy number 10 in the world, but

02:38without neglecting social equity and well-being.

02:46In reality, it is a vision of the development of our country that is equitable, sustainable,

02:50of industrialization, of economic growth, yes, but above all of well-being for our people

02:59and of benefit for everyone.

03:04Textiles, automotive, pharmaceuticals, agribusiness and electromobility are some of the key sectors

03:12to be developed through a portfolio of more than 2,000 projects that will allow the creation

03:19of at least 1.5 million additional jobs in specialized manufacturing by 2030.
