Cancún, Quintana Roo - Mexican President Felipe Calderón declared that his government strives to ensure that economic policy has a human, social face and regards people as its central purpose.
During his participation in the the First Meeting of Finance Ministers of Latin America and the Caribbean, held in Cancún, Quintana Roo, the president said that the main challenge of economic policy is to promote sustainable human development by increasing people's freedoms and skills without compromising the well-being of future generations.
He stated that in order to humanize the economy, the authorities must ensure that it is solid and efficient, which is why he said that Federal Government has maintained macroeconomic stability as well as fiscal equilibrium by reducing foreign debt and substantially increasing investment in physical capital.
“Our governments have the challenge of promoting responsible public policies that will enable us to attract and generate productive investment to trigger productive growth and employment,” he explained.
President Calderón considered that today's economic problems are more global than ever before, since drought in Australia o a flood in Mississippi affects food prices for Chiapas or Guaraní families, which is why he said that global problems require public policies, which although they have global scope, are more closely linked to the international sphere. |
