The global CEO of Grupo Financiero Santander, Héctor Greasetrusted that President Claudia Sheinbaum apply measures that trigger growth and investment in the country.
“It is also important to understand that Mexico, within the process of political change that it is undergoing, has a significant population, the Mexican population has to work and in that sense the Government has to take measures that generate investment and that generate growth, and, therefore “We are positive that in this sense the new government is what it will seek,” said the manager.
During the XV Financial Meeting held in Madrid by the firm, Grisi, a Mexican national, was questioned about whether the situation in the relationship between Spain and Mexico could impact the bank’s activity.
Given this, the manager highlighted that Mexico is a very solid country, where the Spanish financial group had historic results last year and a growth trend is maintained in the short term.
“We had the best results we have had in the history of Mexico last year, and today the truth is that the trend of results in Mexico is very positive,” he explained.
