Carlos Slim to Invest $5 Billion, Avoids Pemex

Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim announced plans to invest approximately $5 billion in the current year. However, the chairman emeritus of Grupo Carso stated that these investments will not include new ventures with the state-owned oil company Petroleos Mexicanos. This strategic decision indicates a shift in Slim's investment focus, moving away from potential collaborations with the oil giant while still committing substantial capital to other areas of business and development.
