CIA Economy Overview Mexico

CIA Economy overview México
Economy - overview:
Mexico has a free market economy in the trillion dollar class. It contains a mixture
of modern and outmoded industry and agriculture, increasingly dominated by the
private sector. Recent administrations have expanded competition in seaports,
railroads, telecommunications, electricity generation, natural gas distribution, and
airports. Per capita income is roughly one-third that of the US; income distribution
remains highly unequal. Since the implementation of the North American Free
Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994, Mexico's share of US imports has increased
from 7% to 12%, and its share of Canadian imports has doubled to 5%. Mexico has
free trade agreements with over 50 countries including, Guatemala, Honduras, El
Salvador, the European Free Trade Area, and Japan, putting more than 90% of
trade under free trade agreements. In 2007, during its first year in office, the Felipe
CALDERON administration was able to garner support from the opposition to
successfully pass pension and fiscal reforms. The administration passed an energy
reform measure in 2008, and another fiscal reform in 2009. Mexico's GDP plunged
6.5% in 2009 as world demand for exports dropped and asset prices tumbled, but
GDP posted positive growth of 5% in 2010, with export growth leading the way.
The administration continues to face many economic challenges, including
improving the public education system, upgrading infrastructure, modernizing labor
laws, and fostering private investment in the energy sector. CALDERON has stated
that his top economic priorities remain reducing poverty and creating jobs.
