Mexico.- According to a proposal made by the Party of Movement of National Regeneration (Morena), they wish to empower the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi), to review the assets of Mexicans and have access to their financial information in order to measure the concentration of wealth of the country.
The Inegi “must have the constitutional power to measure the concentration of wealth in our country. We have billions of dollars that constitute a totally unobserved wealth. It’s no longer just about realizing the income and spending of families and individuals. Measuring poverty in Mexico is a breakthrough. Now it is urgently demanded to measure inequality and the concentration of wealth,” the political party raised through a statement signed by its president, Alfonso Ramírez Cuéllar.
This institute “must enter, without any legal impediment, to review the real estate and financial assets of all people. Every two years you must account for the results of all the assets that each Mexican has,” he proposed
“You must also have access to the Tax Administration Service’s accounts and all of the financial and stock information of the people,” the document adds.
