Governor Francisco Vega endorses employment and economic growth crusade

He said that, through state agencies, resources will go to support programs seeking to benefit credit and financing for businesses

On January 21st, 2015, the State Governor Francisco Vega de Lamadrid, endorsed a commitment to maintain Baja California’s Crusade for Jobs and Economic Growth (CRECEBC), together with officials and representatives of various sectors, through which a goal consisting of the attraction of 2 thousand 400 million dollars in direct foreign investment, as well as for the creation of 55,000 jobs, is seen.

The governor emphasized that this initiative paid off in 2014, by forming a single action line, with support from the municipalities and the federal government, which resulted in a coordinated stimulus for investment and business support, as well as a removal of development inhibitors.

He said that, through state agencies, resources will go to support programs seeking to benefit credit and financing for businesses, as well as agricultural and fishery producers. Coupled with this effort, emergency measures for economic and social momentum in the region will be implemented; thus, the negative effects of measures that have affected development will be offset.
