Thus, in the first three years of this management, the balance shows a reduction of 12,200 companies, which It is equivalent to 80 fewer companies for each week that has elapsed, about 12 per day. In the first year, due to the effect of the pandemic, there had been a decrease of 22,000 MiPYMEs, which will later be able to partially recover, less than half.
