The public and private sectors have had to adapt to the pandemic environment, some with success and some with very poor achievements.

The pandemic brought and to stay in our daily lives the following:

  • Remote work.
  • Distance learning.
  • Online purchases and sales.
  • Communication «on line» or work, or business, or family and / or friends via platforms such as zoom, google meet, etc.

In a statement, Carlos Maroto, general director of the Center for Strategic Studies for Competitiveness, S.C. (CEEC) said that Mexico’s decline in competitiveness is mainly due to its poor economic performance, particularly in indicators related to job creation and price increases.

Globally, the deep economic recession caused by the pandemic continues to have profound economic and social consequences.

Since the outbreak of the pandemic, unemployment rates have risen rapidly in most advanced and developing economies, and poverty rates have started to rise again, reversing the gains made in recent decades.

According to the latest estimates, the economic and health crisis triggered by Covid-19 is expected to push between 88 million and 115 million more people into extreme poverty in 2020.
