Raymundo Campos, Gabriel Yorio, Fausto Hernández have good profiles, everything will depend on more movements in other institutions such as Banxico. New blood could also come out, with Cajeme Villarreal, who is in the Treasury, considered the economist Marco Oviedo.
The shortlist
“There may be people who have been in government for three years, in the Treasury, it could be someone from an academic institution close to the 4th, which in this case would be the Colegio de México, where Raymundo Campos is from. There is Gabriel Yorio, but we do not know who remains in the Undersecretariat of Expenditures in the Treasury, when Victoria Rodriguez Ceja leaves, who goes to the central bank, “commented Oviedo.
Fausto Hernández from the Center for Economic Research and Teaching (Cide) can also be included in the profile, but it is difficult to know now, after the friction that has existed between the government and this institution, commented the economist.
“I have not seen that there is already someone on the radars to be the fifth element of the Board of Inegi, I do not know how much sense it makes, because we have had many surprises with the appointments that are made in different institutes, so I think that rather, we have to wait and see who will be that fifth element ”, commented Mario Correa, vice president of the National Committee for Economic Studies of the IMEF
The members of the Board must be distinguished professionals in matters related to statistics, geography or economics; have held at least five years a high-level position in the public or private sectors, or be an academic of recognized prestige in the aforementioned subjects, refers to article 69 of the Law of the National System of Statistical Information and Geography (LSNIEG).
That there are no ‘other data’, the challenge for Márquez
This Wednesday, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said that Graciela Márquez Colín will be the president of the Inegi Governing Board.
Guaranteeing the autonomy of the Institute and following up on the actions undertaken by the current president, Julio Santaella, are the main challenges observed for Márquez Colín when he takes over the reins of INEGI.
“We would like to see as an organization, as a financial union, that Inegi remains autonomous from political issues, and that continuity be given to the technical quality that has characterized the organization, and that it is a patrimony of Mexicans,” he commented. Ángel García Lascurain, president of the Mexican Institute of Finance Executives (IMEF),
“Graciela’s challenge is that there is no other data, whatever is done, there is no place for other data, that does not exist, it should not exist, it must show that the Institute retains its autonomy, because Inegi’s work has been very good, “added Oviedo.
