Francisco Suárez Dávila, former Secretary of Finance and Public Credit, said that the entities in the area should address the challenges in issues such as orderly urban development. In addition, he explained that up to now, in general terms, most of the productive chains in Mexico are developing towards external markets, mainly to North America. Progress in this area depends on the application of industrial and credit policies to trigger the domestic economy.

"There are outward linkages in most cases and not into the interior of the country," said Suárez Dávila. And "in El Bajío, to some extent, there is an inward link that generates a virtuous circle, of prosperity that does not occur from Mexico City to the south."
That is why the region has achieved an economic growth of 6 percent in recent years.
