Mexico - Transport and Logistics: Growth driven by increasing trade volumes (Strategy, Performance and Risk Analysis)

Summary

Mexico is besieged by the growing clout of drug cartels, as a result of which lawlessness prevails in several areas. The prevailing lawlessness has severely undermined confidence in the government as a result of which the country has a high-risk political environment. However, vital reforms, such as the opening up of the oil sector to private competitors, breaking up private monopolies in the telecom industry, and overhauling the financial system to strengthen competition and lower borrowing costs have established conditions for economic development and have mitigated the risk posed by an unfavorable political climate.
