Banamex expects debt to rise more than expected; urges strong action to improve investment

The article reports that Banamex economist Iván Arias warns that Mexico's public finances will continue to deteriorate over the next few years, with public debt expected to rise above the 55% of GDP projected by the Ministry of Finance, reaching 56% by the end of next year. This is due to the government's planned spending cuts being difficult to implement. Arias notes that the broader deficit is forecasted at 4.3% of GDP this year, higher than the 4.1% estimated by authorities, driven by lower oil revenues and reduced income tax collection. He emphasizes the need for more decisive actions to improve investment conditions and boost economic growth, arguing that stronger economic performance could enhance tax revenue and improve debt sustainability. Arias acknowledges positive signals from the government regarding private investment but stresses the need for more concrete measures to restore confidence among investors.
