Informal traders working in tianguis, rallies and bazaars will receive credits of 25 thousand pesos in financial support in the face of the pandemic by COVID-19, Mexico City head of government Claudia Sheinbaum reported.
The official reported that 100 thousand credits will be given to traders of all the tianguis of the 16 mayors of Mexico City, after they stopped installing their posts for confinement.
Credits per trader will be given with 0% interest, for a period of three years and will give four months of time to start paying.

The allocation of supports will be given from a census of public traders who have made the 16 mayors, which must be validated by the government.
“The mechanics are what the government of Mexico establishes, we give them the census roll, they make a telephone check to a representative sample and from there it is dispersed in the phone numbers so that they can go to recover their resource in a bank branch.”

Sheinbaum detailed that the delivery will be made directly and the telephone census will avoid the duplication of supports, as some of the traders settle in more than one tianguis.
The official asked the sellers not to install their posts during the last weeks before the start of the reactivation of activities in the capital to avoid concentrations and contagions.
Once the tianguis return to their activities, they must apply measures of sound distance and hygiene.
Around 1,500 tianguis are installed in Mexico City, according to capitalist authorities.
