Yucatán Impulso Renacimiento Maya MiPymes credit tourism development IYEM Tele Yucatán

Governor Joaquín Díaz Mena announced the second stage of the Impulso Renacimiento Maya program, creating a financing pool of more than 200 million pesos for micro, small and medium enterprises in Yucatán. The scheme offers loans from 75,000 to 5,000,000 pesos with a maximum fixed interest rate of 14.75% per year, terms up to 60 months, a six‑month grace period and no opening commission or early‑repayment penalty. The program is backed by Nacional Financiera (Nafin) and Bancomext, and 100 certificates were awarded to firms that completed a commercial‑strengthening workshop.

The first stage, launched in November 2024, provided over 390 million pesos in credit to more than 280 companies and generated about 7,060 jobs. Parallel initiatives aim to raise Yucatán’s tourism share of state GDP, which stands at 16.1%, by targeting over 500,000 cruise passengers in 2026 and a goal to double that figure within three years. The government plans to modernise the Port of Progreso and train more than 3,700 tourism service providers.

The Instituto Yucateco de Emprendedores (IYEM) and Tele Yucatán signed a cooperation agreement to broadcast entrepreneurship content, including the “Café Emprendedor” podcast, extending the reach of business‑development information to a wider audience.
