📰South region competes with the north of the country in economic growth

Tabasco, Oaxaca, Baja California and Quintana Roo presented the largest increases in economic activity between the end of the 2019 and the beginning of 2023. At the beginning of this year, the southern region, after decades of ostracism, managed to compete with the states of the northern border of the country in economic growth, derived mainly from a rebound effect and the impact of federal projects in the construction sector. Nevertheless, specialists consulted by El Economista considered that for the rest of the 2023 the regional gap would increase due to nearshoring, who is preferring areas closer to the United States. According to seasonally adjusted data from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi), Tabasco registered the largest increase in its Quarterly Indicator of State Economic Activity (ITAEE) between the close of 2019, pre-pandemic, and the first three months of 2023, with a rate of 24.3 percent. That is to say, It was the state that obtained the largest increase in its economy after the ravages of the health crisis caused by Covid-19, largely supported by the effect on the construction industry of the Dos Bocas refinery (in the last three and a half years, this sector contributed two thirds of formal employment). Oaxaca was behind Tabasco with an increase of 12.6% of your ITAEE in the reference period, benefited by the Interoceanic Corridor and the receipt of remittances that boost consumption; Baja California con 9.4%, helped by its industrial vocation and proximity to the United States; and Quintana Roo with 7.8%, supported by the Mayan Train and hotel investments. The increases in the economies of Querétaro also stand out (7.6%), Chihuahua (6.7%) and Chiapas (6.7%); the latter has the highest growth rates in remittances. About, the coordinator of Foreign Trade and Labor Market at the Mexican Institute of Competitiveness (imco), Ana Gutierrez, explained that these results are due to the comparison base and how the pandemic affected the southern region more. "Because of the pandemic, the southern region had a significant drop in its economic activity, had relatively greater decreases in some periods in relation to the north. That's where the difference begins, we start from a different basis of comparison, but the pending is if it is maintained ", said. For the economic analyst Kristobal Meléndez, this rebound effect, it even happens at a macro level, Specifically, it happens with the most developed countries with respect to the ones that are furthest behind.. “With them, it is possible to see that the economic growth rates are higher. For example, many times we have seen that developing countries present growth rates similar to those of the United States, but this almost always happens after steep drops. This type of growth does not mean that the economic policy of the lagging country is on the right track., commented. Noting that the growth is due in part to the base of comparison, the academic from the Tecnológico de Monterrey, Hector Magana, indicated that one of the points to review is the economic fall that the south of the country presented in the pandemic, "That's what's worrying., the condition of vulnerability of the economic activity that was reached”. “Being the region that had the biggest drop during the pandemic, presenting a moderate advance would translate into a more significant growth”, deepened. A largo plazo La presidenta del Colegio de Economistas de Aguascalientes, Dafne Viramontes, He added that it is too early to indicate that regional projects such as the Dos Bocas refinery or the Mayan Train are already having an impact., "if there are signs with the construction sector, but it will be in the long term when the real benefits are seen”. “You have to add the Interoceanic Corridor. Quite significant growth can be achieved if the necessary momentum is generated, They can be ways that contribute to more and more southern entities having greater economic dynamism”, considered. Kristobal Meléndez indicated that even the growth that the south of the country has presented is not enough to reduce the social gap, "This is something that happens with a rebound effect that does not benefit". The factors that are driving economic growth in the South, asserted Dafne Viramontes, are different from those that are driving economic activity in the north, region where the relocation of supply companies is having an impact, highlighting investments like Tesla. "In this sense, the dynamics of the northern region will surely move away from that of the south for the following quarters", anticipated Kristobal Meléndez, without failing to add that attention should be paid to what happens in the United States, since the probability of a recession in the United States may affect the region. Sin recuperación Al otro extremo, of the 32 entities of the country, 10 They have not yet reached the pre-pandemic level in their economic activity, highlighting Mexico City, Veracruz, Puebla, Campeche, Coahuila and Michoacan. “Entities like Veracruz that have a project like the Transisthmic Corridor, o Puebla with its automotive vocation, as well as Michoacán with the logistics commitment have not been able to grow, It is because no investments have been attracted, specifically, It is necessary to review the plans focused on investments and why the current projects are not being attractive”, Hector Magaña delved into. “You have to see that some states are going through temporary situations. For example, the case of Puebla, the case of Aguascalientes, with structural problems due to the supply chains of the industries”, exposed Dafne Viramontes. Fountain: The Economist

📰An upturn in civil works is foreseen

  At 2023, construction in the Country will be saved by civil works, foresaw specialists. Although BBVA Research pointed out yesterday in its report “Real Estate Situation Mexico” that the sector presents a sharp deceleration, Roberto Macias, President in Nuevo León of the Mexican Chamber of the Construction Industry (CMIC), hoped that the situation would be reversed. “We hope that this year this trend, that actually had been presented, decreases over the months”, “There will be greater clarity regarding the budget that will be exercised in the entity in the coming months, by highlighting the amount of work in the Entity. “Together we have a historic investment in public works; It's been many years since I saw something like this. “From the reconstructions of the works damaged by Hurricane 'Alex’ or the construction of the Line 3 the Metro did not carry out projects like the ones we see in this Administration”, highlighted Macías about Nuevo León. For his part, with data for the second semester of 2022, the BBVA Research study indicates that civil works supported and will continue to support construction in the 2023. Nevertheless, write down, the distribution of resources is not even throughout the country, because in three states the resources are highly concentrated, since Campeche, Tabasco and CDMX have the 60 percent of the public works budget. He points out that within civil works there are some fields that stand out from others, being the energy the one that gives the greatest impulse. BBVA Research warns that the expected growth in civil works could be threatened by the sharp increase in the cost of construction materials and that higher interest rates due to monetary policy could also act against. “(AND) Construction could remain stagnant in the face of a demand for new housing without taking off and moderation of the commercial part”. “Other types of public works, such as hydraulics or communications and transport remain stagnant”.

📰Economic outlook for construction: The industry finds opportunities in civil works and nearshoring

  Specialists foresee that the Gross Domestic Product (START) of this industry will grow 1% in the 2023, which will promote employment in the sector 2023 started with slight optimism in the construction industry, since positive trends are anticipated that suggest that this activity will grow despite the economic factors facing Mexico. According to BBVA Research, the Gross Domestic Product (START) de la construcción crecerá 1% this year, previsión con la cual analistas de la plataforma de gestión de proyectos Procore coinciden y agregan que “esta tendencia de avance estará impulsada por la obra civil, with projects that are developed in several states of the country”. further, Procore anticipates that the recovery in activity will result in, In the coming months there will be an increase in the hiring of personnel to comply with the construction of new projects, as well as the delivery of the works that had already started previously. On the other hand, se espera que la construcción de naves industriales se mantenga en el 2023, as an effect of nearshoring, that is to say, the relocation of suppliers of North American companies from China to countries closer to the United States, as is the case of Mexico. According to data from the Mexican Association of Private Industrial Parks, the opening of 25 industrial parks in the coming 12 months, which represents an investment of 25,000 millions of dollars. Although this year offers opportunities for the industry, attention should be paid to the negative effects, in economic matters, that were inherited in the 2022. including high inflation, which is reflected in the Producer Price Index (IPP) and the increase in the leading rate of Banco de México, which makes financing more expensive. "He 2023 se presenta como un año de crecimiento para el sector de la construcción, in which it will be important for companies to take note of technological advances and implement them as soon as possible, to get the maximum benefit”, indicated Procore. Lo que viene en tecnología En cuanto a la evolución de la industria de la construcción, in the coming months the use of drones and LIDAR technology will be more frequent (Light Detection and Ranging), a laser system that allows to make maps in three dimensions, to know the soil conditions in the works. It is worth mentioning that this technology has already been tested in Mexico on the Mayan Train. “Increasingly we will see how augmented and virtual reality, with the help of 3D models, they will be used to show in a real way how the projects will be once finished, which will help architects and promoters to visualize the work and positively influence the final decision of their clients”, detailed platform. Finally, Procore noted that, care for the environment and end customers in the housing sector will go hand in hand with technology, por lo cual aumentará el uso de nanotecnología en los insumos de la construcción y de la electricidad suministrada desde una fuente de energía limpia, like photovoltaic cells.

📰They give the green light to the CFE to build a mini-hydroelectric power plant in Sinaloa

It is about the Amata Dam Hydroelectric Equipment Project, in the municipality of Cosalá; construction will take 2 Years and a half. Photo: CFE. The Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) received the approval of the environmental authority for the equipment of a mini hydroelectric plant to produce 10 megawatts (MW) net capacity, proyecto que considera una inversión de 429 millions of pesos. Se trata del Proyecto de Equipamiento Hidroeléctrico de la Presa Reguladora Amata (PEH Start) in the municipality of Cosalá in Sinaloa; for construction a time of 2 years and 5 months, and your operation will have a useful life of 50 years. The Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (Semarnat) by María Luisa Albores, the past was pronounced 9 December in favor of the CFE project, directed Manuel Bartlett Díaz. De acuerdo con la información de la Empresa Productiva del Estado en poder de Forbes México, el proyecto se realizará aprovechando la infraestructura existente de la presa para complementarla con obras civiles y electromecánicas de baja escala. The objective is to benefit from the runoff from the Saint Lawrence River, unloaded by the Professor Raúl Jaime Marsal Córdoba “Comedero” hydroelectric plant, and the load obtained from the damming of these discharges by the regulating dam. Con el desarrollo de la minicentral hidroeléctrica será factible producir energía eléctrica durante todo el año, lo que responderá a la demanda que existe en la región noroeste del país. According to the Electricity Market Development Planning Scenario, it is estimated that the maximum demand of the northwest area will grow annually 2.6% on average during 2020-2034. "Thus, intends to install 10 MW of net capacity of PEH Amata, which will contribute to meeting the demand of the system at the lowest total cost in the long term ", justifies the CFE. Graph: CFE. The State Productive Company highlights that in this way it is intended to contribute to meeting the demand for electric power projected for the National Interconnected System based on the forecasts of the Program for the Development of the National Electric System (Prodesen) 2020-2034 and increase the production of electrical energy with clean and lower-cost energy. The execution of the project is under a generation scheme of type "at the foot of the dam", therefore the turbines must be located at a considerably short distance from the downstream curtain, particularly in the case of the Amata Regulatory Dam. The permanent works that this small-scale hydroelectric plant considers are office platforms, electrical substation, access roads and a bridge. The project will be made up of the following components: call channel (structure to collect water), control work, driving (pipes to feed the turbines), machine House, vent and a work of intake, the latter is made up of a call channel and a control structure for the water supply to the turbines. The PEH Amanta was considered by the CFE in its annual report on 2019 como uno de lo principales proyectos de infraestructura de ese año bajo el nombre Obra de Generación Hidroeléctrica en Presa Reguladora Amata, of an installed capacity of 10 MW. The Mexican Institute of Water Technology in 2017 identified Amata as one of the 25 existing hydraulic structures with the potential to install small plants of between 5 a 30 MW. Although the authorization of the Semarnat was given in the past 9 December as stated in the official letter of the General Directorate of Environmental Impact, the CFE launched the 20 November 2021, the open competition for the equipment of the Amata Regulatory Dam, which is still valid, pending award.

📰Auguran ‘boom’ public works

Photo: special The construction industry of Nuevo León anticipated that for the 2022 will be invested some 15 one billion pesos of public resources in infrastructure in the State, which would be the highest amount exercised since 2006, last figure published by INEGI. With that amount, plus what private initiative exercises, that in the last 2 years has averaged about 40 one thousand 500 millions of pesos, the Mexican Chamber of the Construction Industry (CMIC) in Nuevo León assured that the level of operation of this sector will skyrocket to the 100 percent, current capacity utilization level less than 50 percent. Jose Guajardo Valdes, state president of the CMIC, explained that the forecast is based on the resources that the State will receive from the Federation and that they would amount to about 11 billion pesos. In addition to the item that the state government will provide, should Congress approve the infrastructure budget for the 2022, and which was increased by the cuts to other items and savings found by the Samuel García Administration. He clarified that the global stock market of 15 One billion pesos is apart from the federal resources earmarked for the Libertad Dam and the construction of a new clinic and the expansion of another., that together add up 766 millions of pesos. The businessman trusted that state legislators “they will palomear” the Executive's proposal regarding public works and that in December the bidding for the works will begin immediately, among which are the Interserrana highways, La Gloria-Colombia and the reconditioning of the roads of municipalities in the south of the State. “For him 2022 we see a total positive outlook on spending on public works; there is a hike for the next impressive year that had not happened in the last 12 years”, express. “I do not have the precise amount, but the last thing I read were about 15 one billion pesos just in the infrastructure issue, already including federal and state resources; if everything is approved, It will be the best year for the infrastructure issue that Nuevo León has ever had”. Up to now, the highest amount in public works carried out in Nuevo León, in a full year, it was in the 2015 with 14 one thousand 170 millions of nominal pesos, according to Inegi. Guajardo Valdés explained that the construction sector is currently operating at an average of 30 percent of its capacity. He stressed that with the largest injection of public resources, utilization level will skyrocket, which will allow not only to recover the 2 one thousand 700 jobs missing to reach the workforce that existed before the start of the pandemic, but until exceeding the 149 thousand jobs of 2019.

📰The crisis in the global supply chain

New York, U.S(29 November 2021).- A ship captain waits weeks to unload his cargo in Los Angeles. A crane operator in Savannah, Georgia, He's sitting on top of a port full of boxes. A truck driver in Alabama is delivering cargo to parking lots. Supply chain problems have been a defining feature of the global economy in the 2021. For millions of workers, the global bottleneck has redefined their jobs. Longshoremen, railroad workers, Truckers and warehouse personnel have worked during the Covid pandemic to handle a surge in U.S. imports, as businesses restock and retailers brace for the critical holiday shopping season. They have witnessed first-hand - and have tried to alleviate- the quagmire that has delayed shipments of everything, from pickup trucks to Christmas toys. Here's a look at the people who work at every link in the global supply chain that moves cargo from a distant factory to your home.. ESPERA MARÍTIMA Madalin Butoi esperó más de un mes. The captain of the Hyundai Prestige, a ship with 5 thousand containers, was anchored off the Port of Los Angeles earlier this month after crossing the Pacific Ocean. Shipments have been delayed this year by Covid-19 outbreaks that have disrupted Asian ports and manufacturing centers. At the same time, Ships are trying to carry more containers to meet strong consumer demand in the West. That has created a delay at the port with dozens of cargo ships waiting offshore for weeks before being able to unload.. Before the pandemic, it was unusual for ships to have to wait more than a couple of days. “I've had some delays before in South America, but nothing like this, particularly in a US port”, Butoi said from his bridge, with a view of Los Angeles in the distance. Boat, operated by Capital Product Partners L.P., of Greece, transports general cargo such as clothing, electronics and toys before the holiday season and the end of the year along with foods like beef, fish and vegetables in refrigerated containers. To pass the time, mentioned that his crew of 19 people from Romania and the Philippines kept busy catching up on maintenance tasks and spent their free time playing basketball and table tennis. Butoi noted that there are too many small ships waiting to enter Los Angeles.. Ships that usually come from Asia can carry around 14 one thousand 500 containers, three times the capacity of your own boat. “Now there are many small ships like ours, or even smaller, which is a testament to the high demand for freight forwarding”, said. “I've never seen so much tonnage waiting to unload”. ‘THE SPRINGS ARE FULL’ From the cab of your crane in the port of Savannah, Justin Spencer May Contemplate Supply Chain Congestion . “The docks have a month or two of being full”, Spencer said. Ocean carriers headed to ports like Savannah, Georgia, this year as an alternative to Southern California, where dozens of ships like the Hyundai Prestige waited in the waters off the coast. Savannah drove the equivalent of 2.3 million import containers loaded between January and October of this year, an increase of 21% compared to the same period of the 2019. ‘COMMERCIAL JAM’ Trailer Mike Mattingly has hauled it all, from milk to plastic pellets. This year's supply chain problems are the worst you've seen in more than 30 years as a long-distance trailer driver. “The term I have used is commercial jam”, dijo Mattingly, from 60 years, who owns his own trailer. He's been busy delivering custom cabinets from Kith Kitchens LLC, de Haleyville, Alabama, to contractors, home builders and businesses that sell kitchen and bathroom supplies. Its haulage business has grown steadily since the start of the pandemic, Mattingly stated, and the increase in fees has boosted their income. You are now paid about a third more per kilometer to transport a load from Alabama to Florida, for example, that before the pandemic. But bottlenecks make your job difficult. ‘PUTTING OFF FIRES’ Lori Griffin's job as a reception manager at Sweetwater Sound Inc., an online retailer of musical instruments, is usually as regular as a metronome. This year has been anything but normal. Supply chain problems have meant irregular arrivals of trailers and containers full of guitars, batteries, amplifiers and other musical items. Some days, no container of cargo from Asia arrives at the company's distribution center in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Then, another day, two containers can arrive one on top of the other, leading to an inordinate rush to download, sort and stack the goods in the building. The unpredictable arrival of other trailers causes the most problems. The number of staff in the reception area is calculated based on the expected work, but when the trailers don't show up, find tasks to keep employees busy. ‘THE FINAL LINE’ Dave Erazo sees the end of the road in the arrival of many goods to homes. Erazo, from 32 years, handles inbound operations at a FedEx Ground station in Sunnyside, Queens, N.Y., supervising workers who sort packages entering facilities and load them onto delivery trucks heading home. Labor shortages this year at other FedEx sorting facilities have meant that hundreds of thousands of packages have been forwarded daily to intermediate locations that have enough workers to process them before they reach stations like the facility in Sunnyside..

While, the total IFB in machinery and national equipment showed an advance of 0.96 percent in july, thus ending four months with setbacks in the face of a rebound in machinery, equipment and other property 3.64 percent, while investment in transportation equipment decreased 2.47 percent. In the specific case of investment in construction, the indicator reported a growth of 2.15 percent in the seventh month of 2021 While, the increase in construction is explained by the positive performance of 2.96 monthly percent in non-residential and of 1.31 percent in residential, after setbacks of more than 4 monthly percent in the month of June. In your annual comparison, the IFB grew 16.99 percent in July due to favorable results in all its components. Investment in machinery and equipment expanded 20.17 annual percent and that carried out under construction 14.58 percent. The foregoing between a moderation in the rate of growth in machinery and equipment and a better performance in investment in construction compared to the record of the immediately previous month..

📰Road projects that would unburden ‘la 57’

Developments in neighboring states could benefit the saturated highway in the short term 57, through which more than 50 thousand vehicles Five highway concessions could streamline the Mexico-Querétaro highway and benefit, too, to the rest of the towns of El Bajío. The benefit sought is to relieve the traffic of more than 50 mil vehículos que circulan diario por la carretera federal 57, where it seems the works never end. Algunos proyectos carreteros que brindan esta posibilidad son la vía Chamapa-Lechería, y la vía Atizapán-Atlacomulco. To the State of Mexico, está la carretera Atlacomulco-Acambay, part of the North Arch, in addition to a section that goes from the Apaseo-Palmillas highway, that will connect Acambay with the macrolibramiento of Querétaro. Through this connection you can access the city of Querétaro on the one hand, and on the other continue to Celaya and other cities of Guanajuato. With the panorama described, Atlacomulco would become a neuralgic point for cargo traffic to the west west through the Atlacomulco-Guadalajara highways and the planned Atlacomulco-Bajío. On the other hand, the completion of the state highway 413, one of the campaign promises of the governor-elector of Querétaro, Mauricio Kuri, would connect the Queretaro capital with the macrolibramiento in its connection with Coroneo.

📰Investment in the Mayan Train increases to expand its reach: Fonatur🦁

  Now half of the route will be double track, It will also have two elevated sections and electric trains, all with public resources; the delivery date remains in December 2023: Jiménez Pons To achieve greater reach and incorporate better technology, the National Fund for the Promotion of Tourism (Fonatur) made several modifications to the master plan of the Mayan Train, with which they hope to strengthen one of the emblematic works of the administration of Andrés Manuel López Obrador.   In an interview with MILENIO, Rogelio Jimenez Pons, general director of Fonatur, reported that at the beginning it had not been considered that the train was a double track; Nevertheless, now half of the total route has this scheme, and also almost 50 percent will be electric. These changes increased the investment to be made, since its total cost will be higher in 33 percent, compared to the original budget, the manager pointed out, but he clarified that despite this there is space and scope for the entire work to be built one hundred percent with public resources. The total cost “we estimate that it is approximately above the 200 one billion pesos ", but he said that "it is not that it is more expensive for minimal aspects, but because the project will have a better and greater scope ". He reiterated that there is a public budget and that it is enough, because with the fight against corruption a lot of money has been released and the Mayan Train, being a priority project, it is given the necessary importance. Jiménez Pons considered that the federal government's strategy against corruption has worked, that many resources have been obtained that have been used in other works that exist throughout the country. "Public resources are being released, there are more and more savings and the macroeconomic aspects of the country are doing well ", stated the general director of Fonatur. Reported that despite these changes, The delivery date and start-up of the Mayan Train is still December 2023, "We have to finish at any cost". The Mayan Train has an extension of one thousand 500 kilometers and will connect the five southeastern states: Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatan and Quintana Roo, that mainly have a tourist and agri-food vocation. Stoppage due to covid-19 The manager recalled that the pandemic stopped the construction of the project, like many other economic activities, what delayed the works, but they will seek to replenish that time this year. He clarified that although the one that is half electric will raise the investment at the beginning, in the long term there will be savings, since its maintenance is cheaper. According to the construction plans of Fonatur, in the sections Mérida-Cancún-Chetumal, represents 40 percent of the total railway project, a dual system will be used with hybrid trains (diesel-electric) and electrical. Jiménez Pons added that other situations that generated the increase in the project are the changes in the roads, due to archaeological discoveries and other technical issues. For example, commented, in Campeche a whole new pre-Hispanic city was found, the size of the archaeological zone of Palenque, so it will no longer be possible to pass at ground level but will now have to build a viaduct (elevated train). The section from Cancun to Tulum will be equally high, With almost 48 kilometres; "It's like the Mexico-Cuernavaca highway, but double floor ", clarified Jiménez Pons. There has been an increase in scope, It is not that it is more expensive because things are more expensive, It is normal, something that happens in projects of this size, detailed the official. He pointed out that Fonatur builds four roads related to the railway project, but they are looking for a way that this does not affect the total cost. One objective of this infrastructure work is to reactivate the economy of the southeast of the country, well there 7.3 millions of people are in poverty. Fountain: Millennium

📰Mineras will give Mexico a ‘shine’: will invest their highest amount from 2013

Camimex members will disburse more than 5 billion this year. Investment of 2021 would mean an increase of 43% annual and will be 8% higher than that of 2019. (Shutterstock)   This year, the mining industry in Mexico plans to invest 5 one thousand 34 millions of dollars, the highest amount since 2013 Y 42.5 percent more than in the 2020 Y 8 percent more than what was disbursed in the 2019, before COVID, according to the annual report published by the Mexican Mining Chamber (Camimex). At press conference, Fernando Alanis, President of Camimex explained that the increase is linked to the accelerated increase in the price of metals. “Traditionally when prices increase it is unavoidable that the injection of capital, you have to take care that they are about projects in a mature stage, if there is exploration, although it is coming down ", Alanís explained. In the first semester of 2021, gold averaged a price of one thousand 807.1 dollars per ounce, 9.7 percent higher than that registered in the same period last year, while silver rose 61 percent and copper 65.7 percent. The also CEO of Industria Peñoles added that the industry estimates a stability in metal prices for the remainder of the year, mainly in costs, derived from an increase in COVID-19 infections, as many investors are putting their capital back into risk-free assets. "It is unfortunate to say that the price of gold and silver benefits from this situation, but we do foresee that due to the third wave their prices may still rise in a few months ", he explained. Added that, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, in the first semester of 2021 They were generated 40 one thousand 895 new direct jobs in the mining industry, thanks to the fact that they managed to return to operate after the two-month suspension that they lived for not being considered at the beginning of the pandemic as an essential activity. “I could even say that since the reopening of the sector when it was named essential by the Mexican government, four or five new mining companies have entered., all despite the health emergency ", highlighted. Alanís emphasized the momentum that mining has given to the country's economic recovery, Therefore, he highlighted the need for the government to support the growth of the sector and generate confidence in investors.. “We have a working table with the government where our objectives are to encourage exploration, clarity in the issuance of the indigenous consultation law, improve security conditions and resume the issuance of mining concessions to reactivate investment in exploration ", express. The latter, in reference to the fact that President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has rejected the issuance of new mining concessions. He explained that if there were a public policy that encourages mining activity, the activity would grow 0.5 percentage points over the 2.9 percent of what weighs in the Gross Domestic Product, which is equivalent to a 3 percent. “This may mean the generation of more than 50 thousand direct jobs and 300 thousand indirect, in addition to an investment of 24 one thousand 200 million dollars in new mines in the next six years ", added the president of Camimex. Goes up 1.2% recaudación minera Fernando Alanís comentó que pagaron en 2020 about 30 one thousand 374 million pesos in taxes, a hike of 1.2 percent compared to what was reported in 2019, despite the impact generated by COVID-19. "Mining is one of the sectors that contributes the most through the payment of its taxes, in the last five years mining has paid about 161 one thousand 390 millions of pesos", highlighted. To detail, the companies affiliated to the Chamber report that they paid last year around 24 one thousand 205 million pesos in income tax, while 2 one thousand 576 million was in surface rights and 3 one thousand 593 million in new rights. He highlighted that the payment of industry taxes represents 5.3 times the budget of expenses of Zacatecas and almost 2.3 times that of Sinaloa, states of high mining activity. Efrain Alva, Head of the Extractive Activities Coordination Unit of the Ministry of Economy, He pointed out that the conditions are in place to invest and Mexico needs those investments. "We will work together so that they materialize. We must capitalize on what was obtained last year with the recognition of mining as an essential activity ", commented. Fountain: The financial

📰Green light for new Braskem plant

The company will develop a maritime terminal to store and process ethane in Veracruz The Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (Semarnat) approved the request of the company Braskem Idesa for the construction of an ethane maritime terminal in Veracruz, in which you will invest 50 millions of dollars. The Maritime Terminal of Ethane Coatzacoalcos / Nanchital R2 will have the objective of storing ethane imported from the United States to supply the Braskem Idesa plant in the region. According to the project, entered in October last year for approval of the Regional Environmental Impact Statement (MIA-R), the terminal will have a lifespan of 32 years. The project consists of the installation of a floating storage and regasification unit off the coast of Coatzacoalcos and a marine and land pipeline, approximately 25 kilometres, to transport the hydrocarbon to the plant on land. The construction and operation of the plant, which was conditioned to compliance with measures to mitigate environmental impacts, It was approved a few months after Braskem Idesa and Pemex agreed to a new ethane gas supply agreement that meant savings for the national oil company by 13 one thousand 749 millions of pesos. In december of last year, the National Center for Natural Gas Control (Dinners) suspended the supply of natural gas to Braskem Idesa's Ethylene XXI plant, arguing the end of the contract that, they said, it was no longer going to be renewed. The suspension occurred in the midst of negotiations between the company and Pemex for a contract signed during the administration of Felipe Calderón, which President Andrés Manuel López Obrador described as "leonino", noting that the firm of Brazilian origin had been favored. Between changes to the contract, highlights that Braskem Idesa must pay 100 percent of the international reference price of ethane gas, when I only paid 70 percent, in addition to that it will take care of the costs of transporting the energy, an expense that was absorbed by Pemex, and a clause was abolished in which the productive state company would have to have paid five thousand 200 millions of dollars in case of early termination of the contract. The private company is a Mexican subsidiary of the petrochemical company Braskem, company belonging to the Brazilian construction company Odebrecht, company singled out for the largest corruption case in Latin America, with bribes to senior officials from a dozen countries, including Mexico. In december 2016, after the corruption case became known, representatives of the Brazilian construction company confessed to the United States Department of Justice to have paid 10.5 million dollars in bribes to senior Pemex officials to win works contracts. The case led to the arrest in Spain and extradition of the former director of the oil company, Emilio Lozoya, who has been detained in Mexico since July of last year. An investigation by the Brazilian Congress assured that the money that Lozoya allegedly received from Odebrecht during the presidential campaign of Enrique Peña Nieto, it came from its petrochemical subsidiary Braskem, which was then building the Ethylene XXI plant in Veracruz. The signs, both from international organizations and the current President of Mexico, have not prevented the company from continuing its business in the country. Braskem Idesa justified the need for the new maritime terminal, due to the high demand for ethane and the drop in production at the national level. "The high demand for ethane gas for the production of different polymers in Mexico, and the low production of the same within the country, have led companies to have to import hydrocarbon. For this reason, it is necessary to have the adequate infrastructure that allows receiving large vessels ", point to the project. The work will be added to the Coatzacoalcos-Nanchital R1 Ethane Terminal, that the company builds on land with an investment of 150 millions of dollars. The Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources said in the approval of the MIA-R that “it identified that according to the information provided by the petitioner (Braskem Idesa), the development of the works and activities that make up the project are congruent with the Regional Ecological Ordinance Program of the Lower Coatzacoalcos River Basin ".

📰Chinese factories suffer from labor shortages

Labor shortages are materializing across China as young people turn their backs on factory jobs and more migrant workers stay home., offering a possible preview of the bigger challenges that lie ahead as the workforce ages and contracts. With the increase in global demand for Chinese products this year, factory owners say they are struggling to fill vacancies for the production of everything, from bags to cosmetics. Some migrant workers are concerned about contracting Covid-19 in cities or factories, despite the low number of cases in China. Other young people are turning to service industry jobs that pay more or are less demanding. Trends Echo Similar Disparities in the U.S. Labor Market, where some employers have a hard time hiring enough workers, even though millions of people who lost their jobs during the pandemic are still out of work. But China's troubles also reflect longer-term demographic shifts that are legacies of the country's one-child policy., which lasted for decades and was formally abandoned in the 2016. These trends pose a serious threat to China's long-term potential growth rate.. They will also make it harder for China to continue supplying the world with cheap manufactured goods., what could contribute to global inflationary pressures. “China long ago exhausted its demographic dividend”, dijo Shuang Ding, economist at Standard Chartered Bank, in Hong Kong. Yan Zhiqiao, who runs a cosmetics factory in the southern city of Guangzhou with about 50 workers, has not been able to increase production this year despite increased demand, primarily because the factory has had difficulty recruiting and retaining staff, in particular individuals under the age of 40 years. Your factory offers a payment equivalent to about 3.90 dollars an hour, which is above the market salary, plus free meals and lodging. But it has attracted few young candidates. He noted that the factory cannot afford to raise wages due to higher raw material prices this year.. The other option would be to increase prices for foreign buyers., if they accept them. “Unlike our generation, young people's attitudes towards work have changed. They can turn to their parents and don't have much pressure to make ends meet”, indicated Yan, from 41 years. “Many did not come to the factory to work, but to look for boyfriends or girlfriends”. China's manufacturing labor shortage occurs when it grapples with the opposite problem in another part of its economy: too many workers for white collar jobs. More of 9 million students, a record, they are graduating from university this year, exacerbating the structural disparity in China's labor market, economists stand out. The dwindling number of manufacturing workers has forced many factories to pay bonuses or raise wages, eroding profit margins that were already under pressure from rising commodity prices and shipments. Foxconn Technology Group, formally known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. and one of the main suppliers of Apple Inc., last month raised bonuses for newly hired employees at a facility in Zhengzhou to 9 thousand yuan, the equivalent of a thousand 388 Dollars, or more, if they work during 90 consecutive days, according to announcements posted by a Foxconn business unit on WeChat. Foxconn did not respond to requests for comment.. With the Delta variant sweeping other Asian countries, some Chinese factories have seen an increase in orders as buyers redirect business from elsewhere, indicated David Li, secretary general of the Asian Footwear Association, en Dongguan. That has made some companies even more desperate to hire workers by raising wages., said. “Many factory owners are now in a quandary. They do not know if they will be able to make a profit if they accept new orders”, he pointed. “His main headache is the struggle to find workers”. Last week, the Chinese Prime Minister, Li Keqiang, said the country will continue to face a “relatively large operating pressure” for him 2025 and pledged to dedicate more support to labor-intensive industries, including additional vocational training. China's working-age population, defined as people between 15 Y 59 years, fell to 894 million last year, or the 63% of the total population. That was less than 939 million in the 2010, or the 70% of the total population at that time, according to the data of the country's census that is carried out once every decade. China's workforce is anticipated to decline by about 35 million over the next five years, according to official estimates. President Xi Jinping's campaign in recent years to revive the country's rural areas by concentrating more investment in the interior provinces may have added to the challenges for factories., economists say, by creating new opportunities for migrant workers from China, allowing many, who used to travel long distances in search of work in large cities, earn a living closer to home. At 2020, the number of rural Chinese people classified as migrant workers declined for the first time in a decade, in more than 5 million to 285.6 millions, Data from China's National Bureau of Statistics reveal, by staying more workers in their places of origin or looking for jobs nearby. Many did so out of fear of Covid-19 in the largest cities and have not yet returned to them. At 2020, more than half of China's migrant workers had at least 41 years. The

📰The construction sector in Mexico is reactivated

Mexico City. According to the National Survey of Construction Companies (ENEC), of the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi), during the month of February 2021 the value of production generated by the construction industry showed a recovery of the 0.5 percent, which means a sign of reactivation for the sector. The study revealed that construction personnel recorded an increase in 0.4 percent and hours worked advanced 0.2 percent, but real average wages remained unchanged. For Benjamín Pérez, commercial manager of the construction firm CDC 360 ° this is the right moment to open the way to reactivation among the different firms that operate in Mexico. Noted that, CDC 360º is presented as the means to satisfy the needs of the sector, “Not only because we know the investor well, to the builder and to the market, but because of the wide portfolio of alliances we have ". Given the reactivation in construction, warned, a service must be offered that has the benefits that commercial alliances provide, In other words, allied companies that work with quality materials and cutting-edge technology, to consolidate any type of project from start to finish in a timely manner, without worrying about unforeseen events ". Pérez pointed out that today more than ever efforts should be redoubled to have quality services, since this will have the advantage of optimizing costs and simplifying the supply chain. Mentioned that, "At CDC 360 ° we have the strategic purpose of being a commercial alliance for the planning and consolidation of projects from beginning to end in the field of the construction industry., between customers and our network of suppliers ". Finally, stressed that the idea is to provide a connection that simplifies the supply chain, to focus on quality, cutting edge and cost optimization. Fountain: The Day
