Summary:

The Mexican economy has exhibited resilience in the face of a complex external environment. However, the country still faces significant challenges, namely to preserve macro-economic stability, and foster stronger and inclusive growth. These challenges are complicated by the uncertainty associated with the future economic relations with the United States and the future political landscape in Mexico. Prospects hinge on steadfast implementation of the structural reform agenda that would boost growth and improve living standards, supported by continued fiscal consolidation that would put the public debt ratio on a sustainable downward path.
