Mexico is cutting its transportation budget

The Mexican Secretariat of Communications and Transport (SCT) says that the US$6.98 billion budget cut made by the Federal Government will impact on infrastructure projects.

In a bid to redress the balance, the SCT will seek public-private partnerships (PPPs) to continue with certain infrastructure projects.
