México Capta US 4,632 Millones de Inversiones

México captó inversiones en el sector de la minería por 4,632 millones de dólares en 2017, lo que representó un alza interanual de 23.4% y un punto de inflexión tras cuatro caídas consecutivas en ese indicador, de acuerdo con la Cámara Minera de México (Camimex).
