Far from the pandemic, one of the issues that now concern brands and their CEOs as well as consumers is insecurity.
Data provided by Ipsos emphasizes that, far from what might be thought, for Mexicans the coronavirus is not their main concern right now.
With data collected after a survey of 19,010 adults aged 16 to 74 between June 25 and July 9 of this year, it is estimated that for Mexicans crime and violence is their greatest concern, with 57 per cent. hundred of mentions.
This is striking if we consider that the same topic is a priority in the United States with 33 percent participation, and Sweden with 63 percent of mentions.
On the business side, the sentiment is not the opposite. And this has to do with the costs involved in operating in a market that offers few guarantees in terms of security.
According to Banxico, insecurity is the most limiting factor for economic expansion, adding 5.5 points out of 7, where 1 means little limiting and 7, very limiting.
In this way, businessman consulates by the World Economic Forum place Mexico among the seven countries that generate the most costs for investors to face crime and violence. At the same time, they identify the country as one of the three with a significant organized crime presence.
In this way, more and more companies are putting the issue of insecurity on the table as one to define expansion plans or location of their points of operation.
What this means in terms of investment is what gives relevance to today’s graph, which shows which cities around the world are considered the safest.
In this way, with data from The Economist Intelligence Unit, Copenhagen is estimated to be the safest city in the world, in every way, with a score of 82.4 points, out of 100 where this last figure represents the state of greatest security.
This region is followed by Toronto (82.2 points), Singapore (80.7 points), Sydney (80.1 points) and Tokyo (80.0 points).
