MEXICO CITY, April 9, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Grupo Salinas (www.gruposalinas.com), a group of dynamic, fast-growing and technologically advanced companies, deeply committed to the modernization of the countries in which they operate, announced that its Chairman, Ricardo Salinas, has begun to contribute as an invited columnist to the Spanish-language daily La Opinion, the most widely read Spanish-language newspaper in the United States.
In addition to adding value to society through business and social activities, Mr. Salinas is an opinion leader who shares views on topics ranging from economics, business, finance and public policy to history, the environment, social action and the arts.
The title of the piece that was published is "Por una prosperidad compartida" (For a Shared Prosperity), detailing the opportunities from free trade between the US and Mexico in terms of investment, production and employment, 20 years after the signing of NAFTA.
Given the closeness of the two economies, Mr. Salinas says that comprehensive immigration reform is essential. He also notes the investment opportunities in industries such as telecommunications and energy given the pending legislative reforms that seek to eliminate monopolies. He adds that the Mexican economy has strong growth prospects for the next two decades thanks to a young population and the gradual consolidation of the middle class. This is great news for Mexico and also very positive for the United States.
