Puebla, Pue. The state government should consider for the 2022 budget to make the state’s industrial parks more attractive in services, in order to attract foreign investment, said the president of the local National Chamber of the Transformation Industry (Canacintra), Luis Espinosa Rueda
He explained that said proposal of the body is viable, based on the information they have obtained from other states such as Guanajuato, Querétaro and Nuevo León, which have achieved a collaboration between the private initiative and authorities.
He commented that the proposal is feasible if the authorities seek to project a short and medium-term economic recovery to face the effects that the pandemic brings to the development of the states, which must continue to produce despite the conditions.
The leader pointed out that it is necessary to provide a good budget to the Ministry of Economy, which is vital as an intermediary with companies to invite them to know Puebla and the infrastructure in industrial parks, which are 20.
He explained that it is not a question of looking for new national or foreign investments, since first the state has to check the availability of land in the industrial parks and in terms of services to guarantee that the project is completed.
The foregoing, he explained that the Puebla administration headed by Miguel Barbosa Huerta has private projects so far in his administration, but that they are being held hostage by the health contingency, and this should not be a reason to stop looking for more investments.
Strategic projects
He explained that the pandemic has contracted activities in all sectors, but it must also be an opportunity to generate strategic projects that help strengthen Puebla’s economic development.
The consulting firm Solili, which analyzes the behavior of the office and industrial sectors, reported that Puebla has an inventory of 2 million 243,648 square meters, with a vacancy of 68,589, which at this time is sufficient, but if the authorities intend that it be occupy the existing with the attraction of new companies, it would barely last six months, so it must strengthen this infrastructure with more projects.
