Mexico's Economic Landscape: An Overview
According to a report by Deloitte, Mexico experienced a 3.7% year-over-year GDP growth in the first half of 2023. Key factors driving GDP growth included trade and remittances from the United States and a surge in private consumption supported by rising wages and a strong job market. The positive economic momentum was also fueled by increased business confidence and investment due to near-shoring trends and significant infrastructure projects such as new refineries and transportation systems.
On March 27, Reuters reported that Mexico's economy is seen growing between 2.5% and 3.5% in 2024, with expectations of a 2% to 3% expansion in 2025, as outlined in a draft budget from the country's finance ministry. Inflation is anticipated to decrease to 3.8% in 2024, aligning closely with the central bank's target of 3%, plus or minus one percentage point. The forecast also predicts a further decline in inflation to 3.3% in 2025. Additionally, the budget foresees the Mexican peso trading at 17.8 pesos per dollar in 2024, slightly weakening to 18.0 pesos against the U.S. dollar in 2025. Crude oil production is expected to average 1.85 million barrels per day this year, with a slight increase to reach 1.86 million barrels per day in 2025. State-owned oil company Pemex pumped an average of 1.55 million barrels per day of crude oil in February, which is its lowest crude oil output level since 1979. Crude exports are forecasted to be 967,600 barrels per day in 2024, decreasing to 958,400 barrels per day in 2025.
