Einführung

The site of several advanced Amerindian civilizations - including the Olmec, Toltec, Teotihuacan, Zapotec, Maya, and Aztec - Mexico was conquered and colonized by Spain in the early 16th century. Administered as the Viceroyalty of New Spain for three centuries, it achieved independence early in the 19th century. Elections held in 2000 marked the first time since the 1910 Mexican Revolution that an opposition candidate - Vicente FOX of the National Action Party (PAN) - defeated the party in government, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). He was succeeded in 2006 by another PAN candidate Felipe CALDERON, but Enrique PENA NIETO regained the presidency for the PRI in 2012, and will serve as president until December 2018. The global financial crisis in late 2008 caused a massive economic downturn in Mexico the following year, although growth returned quickly in 2010. Ongoing economic and social concerns include low real wages, high underemployment, inequitable income distribution, and few advancement opportunities for the largely indigenous population in the impoverished southern states. Since 2007, Mexico's powerful drug-trafficking organizations have engaged in bloody feuding, resulting in tens of thousands of drug-related homicides.

Makroökonomische Indikatoren

Growth is set to pick up, underpinned by private consumption and exports. Uncertainty will continue to restrain private investment, although earthquake-related reconstruction activities are expected to take place in 2018. However, private investment could accelerate if the NAFTA negotiations end favourably. Public investment will remain subdued. Unemployment is projected to remain at historic low levels. Inflation will continue to decline from its high level to closer to the central bank’s target.

Structural reforms have already visible effects but challenges persist, including high levels of violence and corruption, poverty, inequality, informality and slow productivity growth. Reaping the full benefits of structural reforms will require keeping the momentum for successful implementation nationwide, complemented by a new wave of reforms to strengthen the rule of law and improve institutional quality.
