During the visit of the delegation from India, the lessons that Mexico can learn regarding the promotion of local industries were emphasized, especially in the pharmaceutical sector. India has been successful in producing generic versions of medications at more accessible prices since the enactment of the patent law in 1970. This example can serve as a guide for Mexico in its pursuit of becoming a powerhouse in various sectors.
Despite the uncertainty generated by the recent elections in the United States and Mexico, a decrease in economic growth is anticipated for the upcoming year. However, a gradual recovery is expected, with the reactivation of projects that have been paused due to the current situation. BBVA Mexico has maintained a steady pace in several segments, particularly in Corporate and Investment Banking, where the demand for advisory and financing continues from national and international companies.
In this sense, it is noted that 2025 will be a promising year in terms of structured financing, issuance of bonds and shares, as well as advisory in mergers and acquisitions. BBVA Mexico has carried out various sustainable-labeled issuances, and an increase in bonds and credits is expected in the upcoming year. Regarding the pharmaceutical industry, the importance of reducing the carbon footprint and continuing sustainable policies for ongoing growth is highlighted.
On the other hand, S&P Global Ratings celebrates 30 years of operations in Mexico, providing rating services to over 250 entities in different sectors. This allows the investing public to understand in detail the strengths and weaknesses of these entities, as well as assess sustainable financing. Without a doubt, an important job to continue strengthening the financial market in the country.
