These private businesses tripled their sales from January to June of the current year. Onei’s analysis reflects that the sale of products and services in the first semester amounts to $132,575 million pesos. This figure includes all operations in the country and is equivalent to $5,524 million dollars according to the exchange rate established by the government.
