(MENAFNEditorial)
We have revised down our 2014 real GDP growth forecast to 3.1% from 3.3% compared to growth of 1.1% in 2013 due to weak private consumption growth in Q114. We believe that following the passage of energy sector reform the country will garner significant foreign investment in the coming years. We remain optimistic toward Mexico's long-term growth outlook on the back of a booming manufacturing sector an increasingly strong private consumer and favourable demographics.
In addition to favourable data out of the US Mexico's key export market we note that autos manufacturers Chrysler and Nissan have indicated plans to expand manufacturing capacity at their plants in Mexico. The passage of energy sector reform will bolster sentiment towards Mexican assets and contribute to stronger real GDP growth in the coming years.
