Thread: GM to invest extra $540 million in Mexico to build motors

MEXICO CITY (AFP) – US giant General Motors will invest $540 million to produce two low-emission motors in central Mexico, the company announced here Thursday, accompanied by President Felipe Calderon.
The latest project for GM in Mexico would create 500 direct and another 500 indirect jobs in its plant in Toluca, Calderon said.
GM has four plants in Mexico, and has invested some $5 billion here since 2006, Calderon said.
GM was left reeling by an industry slump when the global economic crisis hit. It received 49.5 billion dollars from the US Treasury and emerged from a bankruptcy restructuring in 2009.
It successfully returned to public trading last November by raising 23.1 billion dollars in an initial stock offering -- the largest in history.

Was the bailout a way to redistribute manufacturing to Mexico, India and china? It financed new GM plants in South America and India.

Maybe GM should finish paying off the debt to the US taxpayers before they "invest" in Mexico.

Yep, continue the pyramid scheme allowing those at the top to gain power and money.
