El régimen inaugura el inicio de la construcción del nuevo Mercado Oriental The government of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo has launched the construction of the new Mercado Oriental, a joint project with the People’s Republic of China designed to modernize trade, stimulate the national economy, and create jobs. The new market, located near the current site, will span 80,000 square meters and feature a two-level design aimed at improving security and functionality. Previous attempts to organize the notoriously chaotic and historically disorganized Mercado Oriental have failed, raising questions about the success of this ambitious new project.

• Construction of the new Mercado Oriental has officially begun, a project in collaboration with the People’s Republic of China.
• The goal is to modernize trade, boost the national economy, and generate employment opportunities.
• The new market will be located 300 meters from the current one, covering 80,000 square meters, with construction taking 18 months.
• The design includes a two-level structure for improved logistics and security.
• The Mercado Oriental is known for its historical disorganization, informal occupation, and recurrent fires due to inadequate electrical systems.
• Past attempts to reorganize the market, such as “Mercado Oriental 2” in 2005, were unsuccessful.
• There is skepticism among merchants and urban specialists regarding the project’s ability to resolve the deep-rooted issues of chaos at the market.
