Mexico’s Economic Forecast: Challenges and Strategic Responses

In today's episode, we explore Mexico's revised GDP growth forecast and the economic challenges it faces. With the Mexican peso depreciating and trade relations with the U.S. under strain, we discuss how Mexico and Brazil are strengthening ties to counterbalance tariffs. Our correspondent provides insights into the factors contributing to Mexico's economic slowdown and the measures policymakers are taking to stimulate growth, including potential interest rate cuts by Banxico. We also examine the risks and key indicators that will shape Mexico's economic future.
