Mexico An Underachiever No More

MEXICO AN UNDERACHIEVER NO MORE

 

 

Mexico, frequently perceived as Latin America´s perennial underachiever, grew faster than Brazil the last two years and will repeat the trick this year with an estimated 4% growth in GDP compared to less than 2% in Brazil. 

 

With inflation at 3.6% for 2012 and GDP growth of 3.9%, Mexico is leading emerging market charts. Asian wages and transport prices are rising and manufacturing companies are moving back west, so that Mexican products will continue to make inroads into the US market with goods becoming thus more visible to US consumers under the caption “Hecho en Mexico” (rather than today´s more common “Made in China”).  As of 2012 Mexico is the fourth largest car exporter after USA, Japan & Korea.

The economic statistics are sound with an internal market of more than US$ 820 billion; exports above US$ 300 billion and an expected trade balance deficit close to 0% for 2013, anchored in a stable foreign exchange rate of MXN $12.85 Pesos/ USD, and unemployment rate half of the one in the US at 4.5%. Furthermore and with a strong foreign investment and hard currency reserves which are now at a record high of US$ 162 billion, the foreign public debt of approximately US$ 123 billion is entirely covered.

With a bullish business attitude to refreshed economic and political programs, incoming reforms to foster investment and growth in many sectors, the private equity opportunity continues to flourishing.
