At the event "Economic and Political Overview of Mexico 2025" at the EGADE Business School of Tecnológico de Monterrey, the current situation of economic activity was discussed. It was mentioned that we are in a period of lost economic dynamism, despite certain statistical games that may suggest otherwise.
During the event, Jorge A. Martínez, an expert in Economics and Finance, questioned Mexico's outlook in the face of a complex scenario that could be generated by President Trump's policies. The possibility that nearshoring, a concept that has generated positive expectations, could be a way out for Mexico was raised.
Ernesto Stein, former representative of the IDB Group in Mexico, considered that although nearshoring remains an important opportunity for Mexico, the uncertainty associated with the Trump Administration could close certain opportunities while others remain. A scenario of uncertainty is proposed that may affect investments related to nearshoring.
According to Everardo Elizondo, former deputy governor of the Bank of Mexico, an uncertain horizon for 2025 is anticipated due to the lack of complete economic information and possible tariff impositions by Donald Trump. He warns about the current trend of recovering economic sovereignty, alerting that a closed economy could translate into a loss of efficiency.
In summary, it is expected that economic activity will continue with diminished vigor in the coming years, affected by both internal and external factors. Despite the challenges and uncertainty, the perspective remains that nearshoring is still an opportunity that Mexico could seize amid a changing economic and political landscape.
