Economic Weakness in Mexico Predicted to Persist

The economy of Mexico faces a significant weakness, according to a warning from the Bank of Mexico (Banxico), predicting that growth will stagnate at 0.6% by the end of 2025. Even in the worst projected scenario, the economy of the country could completely collapse and register a negative rate of -0.2% in GDP.

Banxico's quarterly report highlights the United States and its trade and tariff policies as the main threat to the Mexican economy. Although the magnitude of the damage cannot yet be precisely calculated, the actions announced by the new U.S. administration, especially regarding immigration and trade, pose a significant risk.

The Central Bank warned about the uncertainty surrounding the economic outlook, cautioning that measures taken by the United States could have negative consequences for Mexico in several areas. In this regard, a considerable impact on the economic activity of the country is expected, with possible adverse effects in the short and medium term.
