President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador will lay out a roadmap on Wednesday for Mexico to re-open its economy, with a focus on the automotive sector whose supply chains are closely interwoven with U.S. carmakers.
Lopez Obrador has been eager to get Mexico's businesses firing again amid forecasts the economy could contract by as much as 10per cent in 2020, plunging the country into its biggest recession in living memory.Paving the way for a wider economic reopening, the Mexican government's health committee on Tuesday announced plans to put key industries such as the automotive, mining and construction sectors into the"essential activities" bracket.
The assembly plants"are going to start out at a 25per cent to 40per cent production rate, they're going to go as slow as they can to not create snags in the supply chain," Annese said. Lopez Obrador has sought to balance the trade off between limiting economic damage and saving lives but some lawmakers are unnerved at the speed that Mexico is moving to reopen businesses amid the rising death toll.
