Mexican Economists Analyze Economy
The 31st National Economists Congress was opened Wednesday in Mexico to debate an extensive economic policy proposal for sustainable development with better levels of employment.

Oscar Guerra, president of the Mexican College of Economists, which has nearly 15,000 affiliates, said this topic has special significance this year, when general elections will be held July 2.

Guerra invited presidential candidates and their parties to sign an agreement with concrete measures, without regard to election results, to guarantee progress in economic and social welfare.

He said a synthesis of the conference agreements will be delivered to the presidential candidates.

The three-day event was attended by Mexican authorities and experts from other countries, among them Cuban expert Roberto Verrier, vice president of the Latin American and Caribbean Economists Association.

The economists are discussing such topics as macro-fiscal policies, decentralization, monetary policies, economic growth, and fighting poverty.
