SEDETI assures that US bank bankruptcies will not affect Tijuana’s economy

The Secretary of Economic Development of Tijuana (Sedeti), Alejandro Mungaray, has stated that the recent bankruptcy of several banks in the United States is unlikely to have a significant impact on the city’s economy. In a recent statement, Perez Behr emphasized that Tijuana’s financial system is not directly linked to that of the United States, and therefore is not directly affected by any instability in the US banking sector.

According to Mungaray, Tijuana’s economy is largely driven by the manufacturing industry, which has remained resilient throughout the pandemic. He also noted that the city has been able to attract a number of new businesses and investments in recent months, despite the challenges posed by the pandemic.

The recent bankruptcy of several US banks has raised concerns about the potential impact on the global economy, but Perez Behr remains optimistic about Tijuana’s prospects. He emphasized that the city has a strong and diversified economy, and that it is well-positioned to weather any potential economic turbulence.

While the bankruptcy of several US banks is a cause for concern, it is unlikely to have a significant impact on Tijuana’s economy. With a strong manufacturing industry and a track record of attracting new businesses and investments, the city is well-prepared to face any challenges that may arise in the coming months.

New Cold Front to Enter Baja California, Warns Civil Protection

According to reports, a new cold front is expected to enter Baja California, which could bring significant drops in temperature across the region. The state’s civil protection agency has warned residents to prepare for potential cold weather hazards, including heavy rain, snowfall and icy roads on the highest part of the state.

The cold front is expected to arrive Tuesday night, and its effects are likely to be felt for several days. Temperatures are expected to drop by up to 10 degrees Celsius, which could result in dangerous conditions for those who are not adequately prepared.

Residents are being advised to take precautions, such as ensuring that their homes are properly insulated and that they have enough warm clothing and blankets. Motorists are also being urged to exercise caution when driving, particularly on highways and mountainous areas where black ice could form.

This is not the first time that Baja California has experienced cold weather in recent months. In January, a cold front brought snow and freezing temperatures to the region, causing several road closures and power outages. The civil protection agency responded by setting up shelters for those in need and distributing blankets and other supplies to affected communities.

As climate change continues to impact weather patterns around the world, extreme weather events such as cold snaps are becoming more common. It is essential that governments and communities take steps to prepare for these events, including investing in infrastructure to withstand extreme weather and educating citizens on how to stay safe during these periods.

In Baja California, the civil protection agency plays a critical role in responding to cold weather events and ensuring that residents are aware of the risks and how to stay safe. By staying vigilant and taking the necessary precautions, residents can help minimize the impact of the cold front and protect themselves and their communities from harm.

24 Individuals Rescued from Drifting Boat off Baja California Coast

In a daring rescue operation, 24 Mexican individuals were saved from a drifting boat off the coast of Playas de Tijuana, Baja California. The group, consisting of men, women, and children, had been adrift for several hours before being spotted by a local fisherman who alerted the authorities.

The rescue mission involved the collaboration of various organizations, including the Mexican Navy, the Red Cross, and the Coast Guard. The teams worked tirelessly to locate the vessel and bring the passengers to safety.

The individuals rescued were reportedly in good health, although they were understandably shaken by the ordeal. They were provided with medical attention and food before being transported to a nearby port for further processing.

The boat, it seems, was trying to cross to the USA illegally when it lost power.

This incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of maritime travel, particularly in open waters. It also highlights the importance of having proper safety equipment and emergency protocols in place for all boats and vessels.
