After the Bank of Mexico cut the growth forecast for the national economy, President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo stated: “We are going to close the year well and next year will be even better” because there will be more public investment and that will give a boost to private investment.
Furthermore, he maintained, “there will be more certainty about the treaty (Mexico, the United States, Canada) because it will continue, with its adjustments following its legal review.”
In his press conference, he noted that 2025 has had complications on a global scale due to “President (Donald) Trump’s decision to put in place tariffs.”
Even though Mexico is one of the countries on which the least tariffs have been imposed, “because a very important part of the merchandise continues to be tariff-free due to the trade agreement,” there has been caution for investments; In the case of Mexico, by the trilateral agreement itself, he maintained.
However, the president highlighted: “We are at a record level of foreign direct investment, October was the month with the highest generation of formal employment in the entire history of our country and it continues to grow.”
He assured that in 2026 there will be “much more public investment” with water projects, passenger trains and road works, “and that also gives a boost to private investment.”
