Mexico: Economic and Investment Perspectives
   During the past 15 years, Mexico has successfully moved away from a period of economic and political instability, represented by several crises consisting of currency devaluation, hyperinflation and decreased purchasing power, to one of stability and consistent growth. Despite Mexico’s ability to contain inflation, lower interest rates and compete globally, it has not been able to implement the necessary structural reforms that will solve the root cause of its problems, which include a weak tax base and dependence on oil revenue to finance spending programs that would incentivize domestic demand. Mexico’s growth has significantly declined for the past two years due to the recent U.S. financial turmoil, global economic crisis and lower oil prices. This has motivated some of the rating agencies to scrutinize Mexico’s economic outlook, with one of them downgrading Mexico’s foreign debt rating to the second-lowest investment grade
