The OECD’s latest economic survey of Mexico, to be published on Thursday 30 July  2009, looks at the challenges posed by the global economic crisis. It also discusses longer-term reform in areas such as health and education.

 

The survey will be available to journalists in English on the OECD's password-protected website at 17.00  Paris time (10.00 a.m. Mexico City time; 15.00 GMT) for immediate release.

 

A Policy Brief with the main conclusions will be freely accessible in pdf format (in English, French and Spanish) on the OECD’s web site at www.oecd.org/eco/surveys/mexico. You are invited to include this internet link in reports on the survey.

 

Journalists will be allowed advance access to the electronic version of the publication, by e-mail and under embargo, four hours ahead of release time. For journalists in Asia/Pacific time zones such advance access is allowed 12 hours ahead of release time.

 

The study will be sent by e-mail on request only. In asking to receive the survey under embargo, journalists undertake to respect OECD’s embargo procedures.

 

Requests to receive the survey by e-mail under embargo or to obtain a password to access the website should be sent by e-mail to Bochra Kriout in OECD’s media division.
