Carlos Slim

Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim Helú called the Pensión del Bienestar for older adults 'totally irrational', drawing wide attention in Mexico. His remarks come as his foundation expands a maternal health strategy with IMSS-Bienestar across 23 states, and as coverage of his business empire continues, from Metro station commercial projects to rent charges on his own brands like Sanborns and Sears.

Carlos Slim Domit, heir to Mexican tycoon Carlos Slim Helú, publicly expressed support for President Claudia Sheinbaum, saying the family remains committed to 'working, creating and believing deeply in Mexico'. He predicted GDP growth above 4% under her administration. His remarks come as his father separately warned Sheinbaum about the country's serious water problems.
