The government is committed to developing road infrastructure and is promoting public-private partnerships and toll road concessions to that end.
The first test of the government’s policy came last year on a package of toll roads in the Occidente-Bajio-Centro region, one of the most dynamic parts of the country: luckily the auction and subsequent financing proved successful and all eyes are on the next round of sales.
