Development finance facilities: Prospects for APAC
Sponsors and project developers across the renewables and energy transition space are currently facing a challenging macroeconomic environment.
Global | 出版物 | April 22, 2020
The Mexican federal government, through the Ministry of Health, has formally extended the ongoing COVID-19 sanitary emergency period (thereby extending all extraordinary measures mandated in connection therewith) until May 30, 2020.
This extension came by way of a new resolution issued by the Ministry of Health the night of April 21, 2020, summarized as follows:
The Ministry of Health has yet to determine the criteria to evaluate the degree of the virus transmission for such purpose. Further, the Ministry of Health will establish guidelines to reduce mobility between municipalities with distinct degrees of presence of the SARS-CoV2 virus.
Please note that this new resolution is technically an amendment to the resolution issued by the Ministry of Health on March 31, 2020 (our thoughts on it are available here), that initially introduced the concept of “essential activities” that are allowed – and to a degree, encouraged – to continue during the sanitary emergency.
Although the Ministry of Health later issued a follow-up resolution aiming to clarify the scope of “essential activities” (our thoughts on it are available here) this concept continues to be somewhat vague and, in any event, undeveloped.
We have successfully assisted some of our clients and friends in order to understand the scope and implications of different measures imposed in Mexico as of today, the activities that should be considered essential, how it affects the supply chain thereunder and the criteria that has been adopted by some local authorities, but this is a matter that will need to be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
