SAT and Economy hide the amount of the economic spill for “El Buen Fin 2022”

The Ministry of Economy (SE) and the Tax Administration Service (SAT) held the Good End 2022 Draw, however they did not report how much economic benefit was left by “El Buen Fin 2022” held from November 18 to 21.

“We are waiting for SE and the SAT to provide them (the figures). In fact, they are finishing making the adjustments. They were doing the analysis (…) We are waiting for them to provide them because they have to do an analysis regarding the economic trend,” Octavio de la Torre, treasurer of the Confederation of National Chambers of Commerce, Services and Tourism, told the media (Concanaco).

The Concanaco, through Héctor Tejada Shaar, its owner, estimated that during “The Good End 2022” sales of 195,000 million pesos would be registered, “because there are already 100% capacity in stores and people save their money to make those purchases,” he commented at the time.

For his part, Octavio de la Torre commented that from the Concanaco they are hoping that last year’s goal of 192,000 million pesos will be exceeded.

When expressly asked if the delay in the information by the authorities is because the stipulated goal was possibly not met, de la Torre commented that he does not believe there is a relationship and it would be necessary to ask the SE or the SAT.
