<p><span dir="auto">With the purpose of facilitating investment and providing greater certainty to national and foreign projects, through the participation of various federal agencies and representatives of the business sector, </span><strong><span dir="auto">the Mexican government presented the “Mexico Plan: Actions to facilitate and provide certainty to investment”</span></strong><span dir="auto"> .</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum detailed the benefits that the simplification will bring to investment, which </span><strong><span dir="auto">will give authorization for projects in a maximum of 90 days</span></strong><span dir="auto"> with a single Foreign Trade Window.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">At the event, the Mexican president signed a decree to facilitate investment within the framework of the Mexico Plan, which includes various actions to promote foreign capital in the country and simplify procedures.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">In his remarks, Marcelo Ebrard, head of the </span><a href="https://www.gob.mx/se?IDIOM=ES"><span dir="auto">Ministry of Economy (SE)</span></a><span dir="auto"> , explained that the main objective is to present immediate actions to support investment in the country. He noted that Sheinbaum held meetings with various business representatives to gather proposals aimed at accelerating economic growth and job creation.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">“As a result, he has led a very detailed analysis, area by area of ​​government; practically the entire federal government is present here, and the state governments through the Secretariats of Economic Development, to determine what needs to be done, what can be done in the short term,” he added.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">He pointed out that these are </span><strong><span dir="auto">immediate actions for investment</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , which have to do with various instances, with foreign trade activities, customs, trade facilitation, and &#8220;of course everything that has to do with national purchases, everything that has to do with facilitating investment in public and private projects.&#8221;</span></p>

<p><strong><span dir="auto">Mexico could have an economic growth of 1% in 2026</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , which would mean a decrease from the 1.2% proposed by </span><a href="https://www.bancobase.com/"><span dir="auto">Grupo Financiero BASE</span></a><span dir="auto"> in a previous review, as explained by Gabriela Siller, director of Economic Analysis of this institution.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">In the </span><em><span dir="auto">webinar </span></em><strong><span dir="auto">“Economic Outlook, GDP Estimate for the First Quarter of 2026”</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , the specialist considered that, in a pessimistic scenario, the country&#8217;s economic growth would be 0.60%, and in an optimistic environment it would advance 1.45%, derived from various factors, including the economic spillover from the World Cup.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">The decline in the three groups of economic activities &#8211; primary, secondary and tertiary &#8211; which contributed to the 0.8% quarterly decrease in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the first quarter of 2026 (1Q26) gives signs of what he called a </span><strong><span dir="auto">&#8220;stagnation trap&#8221;</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , caused by the weakening of institutions, increased informality, a drop in fixed investment and a decline in productivity.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">“The quarterly drop in GDP was indeed sharp, and although we expect a rebound in the second quarter, this would be largely due to the World Cup, which we believe will add 0.15 percentage points to GDP through tourism and additional consumption,” he explained.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">The analyst considered that the low growth of the Mexican economy is not a temporary situation, but </span><strong><span dir="auto">a structural one</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , which is reflected in a high rate of informality in employment that, as of last March, stood at 54.85 percent.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Regarding </span><strong><span dir="auto">private consumption</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , which is one of the indicators of GDP, Siller explained that in 2025 this sector closed with an increase of 1.20%, the lowest since 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. “This year consumption started off on the wrong foot, with a drop of 1.55% compared to December 2025.”</span></p>
<p><strong><span dir="auto">By 2026, the financial institution forecasts that private consumption will grow between 1.8% and 2.2%</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , driven by the World Cup and a greater number of tourists arriving in Mexico for the sporting event.</span></p>
<p><strong><span dir="auto">Gross fixed investment</span></strong><span dir="auto"> ( machinery and equipment for the production of goods and services) also declined at the start of 2026. According to figures presented by Siller, this indicator fell 14% compared to 2024, when it reached its historical peak. He noted that in 2025, gross fixed investment decreased by 6.5%, and the projection for 2026 is a further decline of 2%.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">“There weren’t two consecutive years with declines, something we hadn’t seen since 2019, when Mexico was in a slight recession, and 2020 due to the pandemic,” he emphasized.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">Regarding </span><strong><span dir="auto">Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)</span></strong><span dir="auto"> in Mexico, he noted that although historical high levels have been reached, it should be considered that a large percentage has been for reinvestment.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">At the close of 2025, Mexico received $40.871 billion in FDI, which represented a growth of 10.8% compared to the FDI received in 2024, when it was $36.872 billion, according to figures from the </span><a href="https://www.gob.mx/se"><span dir="auto">Ministry of Economy</span></a><span dir="auto"> .</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">According to Siller, 67.65% of FDI in 2025 was for </span><strong><span dir="auto">reinvestment of profits</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , 14.30% </span><strong><span dir="auto">intercompany accounts</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , and 18.05% was for </span><strong><span dir="auto">new investments</span></strong><span dir="auto"> .</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Regarding the review of the </span><strong><span dir="auto">United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA)</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , the specialist said that, although there is a lot of uncertainty, &#8220;I think that in the end it will not end badly, unless there are political issues that stop this trade relationship.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">On another topic, he specified that since last year, </span><strong><span dir="auto">computer equipment</span></strong><span dir="auto"> has been Mexico&#8217;s top export. &#8220;If this product hadn&#8217;t grown so much last year, at a rate of 144%, Mexican exports would have fallen by 0.54 percent.&#8221;</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">“But there are several risks. Computer equipment is not a long-term guarantee. To begin with, Mexico is not the main supplier of this product to the United States; that distinction belongs to Taiwan. In fact, for many months we were the main supplier, but Taiwan has now overtaken us. Taiwan accounts for 45% of total U.S. imports of this product, while Mexico accounts for 31%,” he stated.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">According to the </span><a href="https://www.inegi.org.mx/"><span dir="auto">National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi)</span></a><span dir="auto"> , Mexican exports totaled </span><strong><span dir="auto">70 billion 727 million dollars (mdd) in March 2026</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , a growth of 27.7% compared to the same month of 2025.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><span dir="auto">Regarding inflation, he estimated that it will close this year at 4.2 percent</span></strong><span dir="auto"> . “Inflation was already expected last year. The truth is that Mexico was fortunate with the reduction in non-core inflation, because we know that non-core inflation is very volatile; even more so if we add factors such as public insecurity in Mexico, which has reduced fruit and vegetable harvests, increasing their price. On the other hand, the increase in energy prices due to the war in Iran is also a latent threat; this has caused consumer inflation to rise in Mexico,” he emphasized.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">It is worth remembering that </span><strong><span dir="auto">inflation in Mexico stood at 4.59% at an annual rate in March 2026</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , driven by a rise in agricultural products and services such as air transport, according to data from Inegi.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">According to Banco BASE&#8217;s estimates, the Mexican economic outlook is not encouraging, although there are indicators showing a slow recovery that could improve the situation in the second quarter of the year.</span></p>

<p data-path-to-node="0"><span dir="auto">This projection represents an increase if one considers that the country&#8217;s real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2025 was 0.8% compared to 2024, according to data from the </span><a href="https://www.inegi.org.mx/"><span dir="auto">National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi)</span></a><span dir="auto"> .</span></p>
<p data-path-to-node="0"><span dir="auto">In its report, </span><strong><span dir="auto">ECLAC adjusted its regional growth projection to 2.2% for 2026</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , a decrease from the 2.3% estimated by the organization in December of last year. The report indicated that the contraction reflects current global tensions, such as the conflict in the Middle East and tariff policies.</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p data-path-to-node="0"><span dir="auto">“The deterioration of the external environment is one of the main factors behind the downward revision of regional growth projections,” he said.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p data-path-to-node="1"><span dir="auto">According to the organization&#8217;s data, growth is projected to slow in 24 of the region&#8217;s 33 countries in 2026, while only seven are expected to show an increase. This would mark four consecutive years of projected growth close to 2.3% for the region, &#8220;demonstrating a pattern of weak growth potential.&#8221;</span></p>
<p data-path-to-node="1"><span dir="auto">At the subregional level, </span><strong><span dir="auto">South America would grow 2.4% in 2026</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , below the 2.9% achieved in 2025, &#8220;reflecting a slowdown in most of the economies of the subregion,&#8221; according to the most recent projections of ECLAC.</span></p>
<p data-path-to-node="1"><strong><span dir="auto">Central America is projected to grow its economy by 2.2% this year</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , a slight contraction compared to the 2.3% growth forecast for 2025, influenced by anticipated contractions in Cuba and Haiti.  </span><strong><span dir="auto">The English- and Dutch-speaking Caribbean is projected to grow by 5.6%</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , a slight increase from the 5.5% forecast for 2025, driven by projected economic activity in Guyana.</span></p>
<p data-path-to-node="2"><span dir="auto">The conflict in the Middle East and geopolitical tensions increased volatility in commodity and financial markets. </span><strong><span dir="auto">The price of oil during the first three weeks of April exceeded the average price recorded in December 2015 by 74%</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , raising production and transportation costs globally, according to the technical report.</span></p>
<p data-path-to-node="3"><span dir="auto">ECLAC noted that </span><strong><span dir="auto">the </span><a href="https://www.wto.org/indexsp.htm"><span dir="auto">World Trade Organization (WTO)</span></a><span dir="auto"> projected a 2.7% increase in the volume of trade in goods and services in 2026.</span></strong><span dir="auto"> This figure contrasts with the 4.7% growth achieved in 2025, indicating a slowdown in the dynamism of global international trade. Meanwhile, central banks are maintaining cautious stances in the face of renewed pressure on consumer price indices.</span></p>
<p data-path-to-node="4"><span dir="auto">Regional private consumption is showing less dynamism, while investment is showing signs of a recovery, albeit at moderate levels. </span><strong><span dir="auto">Employment growth in the region&#8217;s economies is estimated at 1.1% in 2026, compared to 1.5% in 2025</span></strong><span dir="auto"> .</span></p>
<p data-path-to-node="4"><span dir="auto">Meanwhile, median inflation would be above 3%, due to the rise in imported inputs and logistics expenses, compared to 2.4% last year.</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p data-path-to-node="6"><span dir="auto">According to the United Nations regional economic commission, risks persist linked to the volatility of international markets and the weakness of domestic demand in countries; in addition to structural factors and constraints of space in public policies that affect the performance in various economies of the region analyzed.</span></p>
</blockquote>

<p><span data-contrast="auto"><strong><span dir="auto">The start of 2026 places the Mexican economy at a defining moment rather than a breaking point</span></strong><span dir="auto"> . After closing 2025 amidst a slowdown, business caution, and financial adjustments, the new cycle begins without signs of crisis, but neither does it offer sufficient impetus to speak of a genuine recovery. The year is shaping up to be a period of transition, in which decisions—and omissions—regarding investment, foreign trade, and economic policy will carry more weight than the economic cycles themselves.</span></span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:120}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto"><span dir="auto">The scenario does not anticipate a recession, but rather limited growth, contingent on internal and external factors that keep the economy in a state of controlled fragility. Decisions regarding </span><strong><span dir="auto">investment, </span></strong><strong><span dir="auto">foreign trade, and economic policy</span></strong><span dir="auto"> will be key in determining whether the year translates into a gradual recovery or a prolonged period of sluggish growth, according to experts consulted by T21.</span></span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:120}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto"><span dir="auto">In terms of consensus, the diagnosis is clear: </span><strong><span dir="auto">the economy will grow below its potential</span></strong><span dir="auto"> . After an estimated growth of just 0.5% in 2025, growth of between 1.5% and 1.6% is projected for 2026, driven mainly by lower real interest rates and a moderate improvement in consumption, according to John Soldevilla, CEO of  </span><strong><span dir="auto">Ecobi Economy, Business &amp; Indicators</span></strong><span dir="auto"> .</span></span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:120}"> </span></p>

In particular, for </span><strong><span dir="auto">freight transport and logistics,</span></strong><span dir="auto"> it means operating in an environment of contained demand, but it also opens up opportunities to gain efficiency, redesign routes, strengthen intermodality, and capitalize on specific niches linked to foreign trade and domestic consumption.</span></span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:120}"> </span></p>

<p>Rising trade tensions and greater global uncertainty stemming from political conditions have worsened the global economy, which is facing significant challenges, the <a href="https://www.bancomundial.org/ext/es/home">World Bank (WB)</a> said , which in this context revised downwards its growth forecast for Mexico for 2025, from 1.3% to just <strong>0.2 percent</strong> .</p>
<p>According to its <em>Global Economic Outlook</em> report, the international organization forecasts Mexican economic growth of <strong>1.1% in 2026.</strong></p>
<p>In the report, the World Bank indicated that this decrease will be due to the fact that exports to the United States, which represent 80% of total shipments of goods abroad, will be affected by the tariffs promoted by <strong>Donald Trump</strong> , President of the United States, amid persistent uncertainty regarding investment and trade policies.</p>
<div class="jeg_ad jeg_ad_article jnews_content_inline_3_ads ">
<div class="ads-wrapper align-center ">
<div class="ads-text">ADVERTISEMENT</div>

</div>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Additional trade restrictions under a revised <a href="https://www.gob.mx/t-mec">United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA)</a> could further reduce Mexico&#8217;s exports,&#8221; the agency added.</p></blockquote>
<p>According to the report, Mexico, the second-largest economy in Latin America and the Caribbean, has been the hardest hit by the 25% tariffs on non-USMCA imports to the United States.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;All other countries in the region face a 10% tariff on exports to the United States, excluding energy products,&#8221; he stressed.</p></blockquote>
<p>Regarding its outlook for <strong>Latin America and the Caribbean</strong> , the World Bank estimated that its growth will remain stable “at 2.3% in 2025 and 2.4% in 2026 as growth weakens in most economies, except for Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador and the Caribbean.”</p>
<p>The forecast implied a downward revision of the region&#8217;s growth by <strong>0.2 percentage points</strong> , with more than half of the region&#8217;s economies set to register a downgrade relative to previous projections.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Emerging market and developing economies have reaped the benefits of trade integration, but now find themselves on the front lines of a global trade conflict,” said M. Ayhan Kose, World Bank Deputy Chief Economist and Director of the Prospects Group.</p></blockquote>
<p>Regarding global growth, he projected it will be just <strong>2.3%</strong> in 2025, driven by rising tariffs and greater uncertainty for nearly all the world&#8217;s economies.</p>
<p>Given this scenario, the organization noted that the  <strong>global economy </strong> will experience its weakest average growth since the 1960s in the 2020s.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;A global recession is not expected, but if the forecasts for the next two years materialize, average global growth in the first seven years of the 2020s will be the slowest of any decade since the 1960s,&#8221; the analysis emphasized.</p></blockquote>
<p>The report also highlighted that rising trade tensions and regulatory uncertainty are expected to lead to global growth posting its slowest pace this year since 2008.</p>
<p>The World Bank&#8217;s forecast for the <strong>largest economies</strong> is <strong>1.2%</strong> this year and 1.4% by 2026.</p>
<p>In <strong>Europe and Central Asia,</strong> growth is expected to slow to 2.4% in 2025 before rising to 2.6% in 2026-2027. In <strong>the Middle East and North Africa</strong> , the World Bank projected growth to 2.7% in 2025 and strengthen to an average of 3.9% in 2026-2027.</p>
<p>Among other data, the organization projected that growth in <strong>East Asia and the Pacific will slow to 4.5% in 2025 and 4% in 2026.</strong></p>
<p>Given the current uncertain environment, the World Bank suggested that to accelerate economic growth, countries will need to improve the business climate and promote productive employment, equipping workers with the necessary skills and creating the conditions for labor markets to effectively adjust to employees and businesses.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Global collaboration will be crucial to support the most vulnerable developing economies, including through multilateral interventions, concessional financing, and, for countries experiencing active conflict, emergency relief and support,&#8221; he stressed.</p></blockquote>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) announced on Tuesday its new growth estimates for this year for the region, where it noted a reduction from 2.4%, projected by the end of 2024, to 2 percent .

<p><span>Under the new projections, </span><strong><span>Mexico and Central America</span></strong><span> will be among the regions hardest hit in terms of growth this year, dropping from </span><strong><span>1.8 percent</span></strong><span> to just </span><strong><span>1.0 percent</span></strong><span> . Another region where growth slowed was the Caribbean, which went from a projected growth of </span><strong><span>2.3 percent</span></strong><span> to </span><strong><span>1.8 percent</span></strong><span> .</span></p>
<p><span>According to </span><strong><span>ECLAC,</span></strong><span> the region is facing a highly uncertain international scenario due to the tariffs imposed by the United States, which have not only directly affected the region&#8217;s exports but have also caused </span><strong><span>greater volatility in international financial markets</span></strong><span> .</span></p>
<p><span>Furthermore, the so-called </span><strong><span>trade war</span></strong><span>  has increased the risk of serious disruptions in global production chains and international trade flows, leading to </span><strong><span>a downward revision of global growth prospects</span></strong><span> .</span></p>
<p><span>Finally, </span><strong><span>ECLAC</span></strong><span> noted that if the region wants to boost its growth, it requires a combination of macroeconomic and productive development policies, increasing investment in physical and human capital. Therefore, the region must not only invest more, but also </span><strong><span>invest better</span></strong><span> .</span></p>

<p><span>Due to a complicated external environment, driven by various factors such as the escalation of U.S. tariffs on imported products, the </span><strong><a href="https://www.bancomundial.org/ext/es/home"><span>World Bank (WB)</span></a> </strong><span>lowered its economic growth forecast for Mexico from </span><strong><span>1.5%</span></strong><span> to </span><strong><span>0%</span></strong><span> for this year.</span></p>
<p><span>In its </span><em><span>Economic Report for Latin America and the Caribbean</span></em><span> , the institution estimated that the country&#8217;s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) will grow by </span><strong><span>1.1%</span></strong><span> in 2026 and </span><strong><span>1.8%</span></strong><span> in 2027.</span></p>
<p><span>The United States&#8217; tariff policy, which has led to a tariff war, will also affect the relocation of production lines in Mexico ( </span><em><span>nearshoring</span></em><span> ), the World Bank predicted in its report.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span>&#8220;The apparent U.S. shift toward higher tariffs casts uncertainty over the </span><em><span>nearshoring</span></em><span> project , the practice of moving overseas operations to nearby or friendly countries, and access to global markets in general,&#8221; the report emphasized.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span>It is worth remembering that on April 2, </span><strong><span>Donald Trump , President of the United States, announced a series of reciprocal tariffs that would be applied to products entering the United States from several countries; however, on April 9, the American president paused the </span></strong><strong><span>tariffs</span></strong><span> for 90 days .</span></p>
<p><span>Although Mexico is not currently subject to this measure, its northern neighbor does charge the country </span><strong><span>25%</span></strong><span> tariffs on vehicles imported from Mexico, as well as a similar rate on steel and aluminum.</span></p>
<p><span>The World Bank indicated that in 2024, Latin America was one of the regions with the lowest growth in the world, &#8220;reflecting the continued convergence of potential output in Mexico and the adjustment process in Argentina.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span>In Mexico, public investment contributed to the expansion of aggregate investment and output growth during 2023, but as it lost momentum during 2024, this stimulus weakened, he noted.</span></p>
<p><span>Despite the downward projection for the Mexican economy, the World Bank highlighted that the country </span><strong><span>accelerated poverty reduction</span></strong><span> , largely due to the improved labor market.</span></p>
<p><span>In the case of </span><strong><span>Latin America and the Caribbean</span></strong><span> , the report forecasts </span><strong> </strong><span>growth of </span><strong><span>2.1%</span></strong><span> this year and </span><strong><span>2.4%</span></strong><span> in 2026, making it the region with the lowest growth globally, due to  </span><strong><span>low investment</span></strong><span> , high debt and a changing external environment, which represents an obstacle to the development of the area.</span></p>
<p><span>The World Bank&#8217;s forecasts echo those of the  </span><a href="https://www.imf.org/es/Home"><span>International Monetary Fund (IMF) , which estimated a </span></a><strong><span>0.3%</span></strong><span> contraction  in Mexico&#8217;s GDP, which could lead to a recession this year.</span></p>
<p><span>In its  </span><em><span>World Economic Outlook</span></em><span> report , the IMF said Mexico will be one of the nations hardest hit by the impact of Trump&#8217;s tariffs.</span></p>
<p><span>In response, Mexican President </span><strong><span>Claudia Sheinbaum</span></strong><span>  has questioned the economic forecasts of the World Bank and the IMF, pointing out that their models do not take into account the impact of  </span><strong><span>Plan Mexico</span></strong><span> or recent investments.</span></p>

<p><span>The </span><a href="https://www.bancomundial.org/ext/es/home"><span>World Bank (WB)</span></a><span> estimated that Mexico will have an economic growth of just </span><strong><span>1.5%</span></strong><span> for 2025 and </span><strong><span>1.6%</span></strong><span> for the following year, limited by the </span><strong><span>application of a restrictive monetary policy and fiscal consolidation</span></strong><span> , so it estimated that developing economies, which drive </span><strong><span>60%</span></strong><span> of global growth, will end the first quarter of the 21st century with the weakest long-term growth prospects since 2000.</span></p>
<p><span>The organization revealed this in its </span><em><span>World Economic Outlook</span></em><span> report , in which it predicts that the </span><strong><span>global economy</span></strong><span> will grow by </span><strong><span>2.7%</span></strong><span> in both 2025 and 2026, at the same pace as the previous year.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span>The World Bank said that growth in developing economies is also expected to remain stable at around 4% over the next two years. “However, this would be a weaker performance than before the pandemic, and insufficient to foster the progress needed to alleviate poverty and achieve broader development goals,” it stressed.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span>He said that even if the global economy stabilises over the next two years, developing economies are expected to move more slowly to catch up with the income levels of advanced economies.</span></p>
<p><span>The Washington-based organization said that the performance of developing economies would be weaker than before the COVID-19 pandemic, and insufficient to promote the progress needed to alleviate poverty and achieve broader development goals.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span>“The next 25 years will be more difficult for developing economies than the last 25,” said </span><strong><span>Indermit Gill</span></strong><span> , chief economist and senior vice president for development economics at the World Bank Group </span><strong><span>.</span></strong></p></blockquote>
<p><span>The World Bank noted that global economic integration “faltered,” resulting in overall economic growth falling from </span><strong><span>5.9%</span></strong><span> in the 2000s to </span><strong><span>5.1%</span></strong><span> in the 2010s and </span><strong><span>3.5%</span></strong><span> in the 2020s.</span></p>
<p><span>According to the analysis, developing economies are now more important to the global economy than they were at the beginning of the century, </span><strong><span>accounting for around 45% of global GDP</span></strong><span> , up from </span><strong><span>25%</span></strong><span> in 2000.</span></p>
<p><span>These economies have also become a major source of global capital flows, remittances and development assistance to other peer economies, accounting for </span><strong><span>40%</span></strong><span> of global remittances between 2019 and 2023, up from </span><strong><span>30%</span></strong><span> in the first decade of the century.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span>“In a world marked by political uncertainty and trade tensions, developing economies will need bold and far-reaching policies to seize untapped opportunities for cross-border cooperation,” said </span><strong><span>M. Ayhan Kose</span></strong><span> , World Bank Deputy Chief Economist and Director of the World Bank’s Prospects Group.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span>The report said that  </span><strong><span>foreign direct investment (FDI) flows</span></strong><span> to developing economies are about half of what they were in the early 2000s.</span></p>
<p><span>He also stressed that new restrictions on </span><strong><span>global trade</span></strong><span> have had an influence , which in 2024 were five times higher than the average for 2010-2019.</span></p>
<p><span>Regarding the arrival of </span><strong><span>Donald Trump</span></strong><span> to the presidency of the United States, the World Bank maintained an &#8220;ambiguous&#8221; position, although it admitted that the magnitude of the possible changes in the  country&#8217;s </span><strong><span>trade and fiscal policies </span></strong><span> is not clear, stressing that a 10 percentage point increase in  </span><strong><span>tariffs</span></strong><span> applied to its trading partners could reduce global growth this year by 0.2 points.</span></p>
<p><span>He said that the &#8220;good performance&#8221; of major powers such as the United States and China will be key to the proper performance of developing economies in the future.</span></p>
<p><span>Among the regional forecasts, the organization indicated that in </span><strong><span>Latin America and the Caribbean,</span></strong><span> growth is expected to increase to </span><strong><span>2.5%</span></strong><span> in 2025 and </span><strong><span>2.6%</span></strong><span> in 2026, while in </span><strong><span>East Asia and the Pacific,</span></strong><span> growth is estimated to slow to </span><strong><span>4.6%</span></strong><span> in 2025 and </span><strong><span>4.1%</span></strong><span> in 2026.</span></p>

<p><span>According to the report, </span><strong><span>within economic activities, a 0.7% increase is expected in secondary activities</span></strong><span> , which includes manufacturing and construction.</span></p>
<p><span>Meanwhile,  </span><strong><span>tertiary activities</span></strong><span> , which include services such as commerce, transportation and communications, education and health, are expected to increase by </span><strong><span>1.5%</span></strong><span> for August of this year.</span></p>

<p><span>For the eighth month of the year, the Global Indicator of Economic Activity (IGAE), as well as secondary activities, are estimated to grow </span><strong><span>0.3%</span></strong><span> , compared to July.</span></p>
<p><span>These projections come after Inegi reported inflation of </span><strong><span>4.99%</span></strong><span> last August.</span></p>
<p><span>Meanwhile, the </span><strong><span>Gross Domestic Product (GDP)</span></strong><span> in the second quarter of 2024 in Mexico registered a growth of </span><strong><span>0.2%</span></strong><span> , compared to the first three months of the year.

<p>The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) can transform production and logistics in Mexico, as it will allow for improving, simplifying and optimizing processes, in order to trigger the country&#8217;s economic growth , although there are challenges to enhance this tool, such as investment, regulation and government support, considered Álvaro Echeverría, CEO of SimpliRoute , a last-mile logistics optimization platform.</p>
<p>The country has made progress in adopting AI in physical operations, with 50% of operations leaders indicating its widespread use in their organizations, however, the industry continues to lag behind when compared to other markets, due to the lack of a regulatory framework and greater government attention.</p>
<p>According to the consulting firm Mordor Intelligence , the cargo and logistics market is estimated at 136.11 billion dollars (mdd) for this year, with a growth projection of up to 171.40 billion dollars in 2029, at a compound annual rate of 4.72 percent.</p>
<p>He also highlighted that the growth in transportation services has strengthened the competitiveness of Mexico&#8217;s exports, which in 2022 reached 590.93 billion dollars .</p>
<p>Given this scenario, the challenge is to overcome some challenges, such as the lack of investment and the absence of a clear focus on the part of the government, which is why a long-term vision is required that promotes innovation and technological development in the country, with regulations that guarantee the ethical and safe use of Artificial Intelligence.</p>
<p>“Mexico needs a robust regulatory framework that addresses data security and privacy in order to foster trust in technology and attract investors,” Echeverría stressed, adding that “the adoption of AI can transform logistics in Mexico by improving inventory management, optimizing delivery routes and estimating sales demand.”</p>
<p>The SimpliRoute specialist pointed out in a statement that companies must collaborate with recognized suppliers and train their staff to counteract the risks that come with the implementation of AI, which include data security and the lack of specialized human capital .</p>
<p>He also indicated that the Mexican government would have to work together with local producers and manufacturers to establish a sustainable practice with the use of technology , which in addition to helping to consolidate our country as a competitive player in the context of the relocation of production lines ( nearshoring ), would allow for reducing costs and increasing efficiency.</p>
<p>According to a Samsara study , 94% of operations leaders believe it is necessary to invest in AI solutions to stay competitive, and 87% of organizations plan to increase their investment in AI in the next 12 months, which is crucial to meet the demands of the logistics sector .</p>
