Economic Survey of Mexico 2005: Economic performance and Key challenges
This chapter reviews the recent macroeconomic performance of Mexico and the strengths and weaknesses of its economy, identifying the main challenges it faces. The fundamental challenge for policy makers is to raise growth in living standards, and ensure that incomes are better shared among the population, allowing a reduction in still widespread poverty. Two key areas for actions are identified: raising human capital and removing obstacles to private investment. Beside the catching-up challenge, the authorities are also faced with the challenge of strengthening public finances.
