Mexican president to present plan to reactivate economy in two weeks

Mexico City, August 18 (RHC)-- The Mexican government will present a plan to reactivate the economy in two weeks to help bring the country back from a sharp recession caused by the pandemic, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said.

"In 15 days, a plan for the reactivation of the economy will be presented," Lopez Obrador said during a regular conference, noting that the government is in talks with the powerful business lobby CCE.

Lopez Obrador has said in recent days that the pandemic is losing force in Mexico, but its death toll stands as the world's third highest after the United States and Brazil.
