MEXICO CITY.- After meeting with the Secretary of the Treasury, Rogelio Ramírez de la O, the president of the Business Coordinating Council (CCE), Francisco Cervantes, assured yesterday that the new plan against inflation will only be able to contain the phenomenon, since there will hardly be an 8 percent reduction in prices, as announced by the federal government.
Interviewed at the National Palace, he maintained that the private sector supports the second anti-inflationary planwhich seeks to reduce the price of the basic basket of 24 products from 1,129 to 1,39 pesos.
“We met with the Secretary of the Treasury to see the proper functioning and, above all, how we support having this containment for the inflation issue and that the 24 products are maintained for the benefit of the most vulnerable families,” he said.
– “Will it be possible to achieve the 8 percent drop?”, he was asked.
-“We are seeing, if it is possible to save or make more efficient in transport or in some things, that is what we are going to work on, to see if it can be made more efficient in some products, especially to contain; that of lowering, hopefully it can, but it’s more like containment,” he replied.
However, Cervantes warned that the new plan needs, among other things, to extend the government’s commitment to guarantee road safetygreater coordination with regulatory bodies and clarify their operation to avoid problems with business partners, such as USA.
“What we are discussing is the issue of road safety, that part is going to be seen, there are little details so that this can work, have better results,” he said..
“Everything had to do with the food issue and above all the regulatory bodies, how to have communication with the United States so that we are not going to have any problems.”
On Monday, the CCE expressed its concern about the implementation of a universal single licensewhich practically leaves sanitary controls in the importation of food products in the hands of the companies.
