Mexican government announces budget cuts due to drop in oil prices

  • 9 years ago
Mexican Finance Minister Luis Videgaray reported that the almost 40% drop in international oil prices has forced President Enrique Peña Nieto's administration to adjust public spending for the next few months. This would include cancellation of a high-speed train from Mexico City to Queretaro. Authorities said the cuts will not affect expected economic growth, but experts question this optimism. teleSUR
