Mexico - Recent economic developments and prospects (English)

This report assesses Mexico's developments during 1977-82, attempts to draw a few lessons from that experience, examines the prospects and conditions for economic recovery, and discusses the options in some key policy areas. The prospects for economic recovery and regaining a path of stable and sustainable growth within the next few years appear good. The government needs to continue with the stabilization measures it introduced in 1983 until the fiscal deficit and the current account of the balance of payments have regained sustainable levels. This requires action on fiscal policy, non-oil exports and trade policy, pricing and subsidy policy, and a careful evaluation of public investments. In all scenarios, the availability of foreign finance is seen to be of critical importance. This availability on reasonable terms will both determine and be determined by the success of the stabilization program.
