The State Government has the obligation to generate conditions so that the different activities are carried out, as best as they should be, in a circumstance towards normality,” he said.
Likewise, he detailed that initiatives such as direct economic support have been deployed, in addition to providing measures in fiscal policy, surcharges, efforts have been made before social security and other agencies, in order to generate better conditions for the business sector and added that constant attention meetings are held with business organizations. “There is initiative. There is policy. There are actions” said the state spokesman.
For his part, the Secretary General of the Government of Sinaloa, Feliciano Castro Meléndrez, announced that the state administration continues to work together with the chambers of commerce to counteract the economic effects caused by the recent episodes of violence in the state.
He stressed that specific measures have been implemented to support affected entrepreneurs and promote economic recovery:
“We have made decisions to improve the conditions of entrepreneurs, from financial support to measures related to fiscal policies, seeking to alleviate the economic burden and guarantee the continuity of commercial activities in the region,” said the official.
IHOP closes due to violence in Culiacán
The violence that mainly ravages the Sinaloa municipality of Culiacán has forced many businesses to close, seriously affecting violence in the state in general. This is the case of the IHop restaurant chain, which announced this week its closure in the state, stating that the decision was motivated by the “growing insecurity in our city.”
Through its Facebook account, the restaurant announced its decision, seeking to prioritize the safety of workers and customers. It also assured that they could resume operations if “circumstances improve” within the territory, without disclosing an approximate date for when this will occur.
