Mexico's Investments on Hold: Ebrard Reveals Impact of US Trade Uncertainty

Mexico's Economic Outlook Uncertain Amidst US Trade Policy Concerns Mexico City, May 28, 2025 – Uncertainty surrounding United States trade policy is casting a shadow over Mexico's economic prospects, according to recent statements by high-ranking officials. During the BBVA National Meeting of Regional Councilors, Economy Secretary Marcelo Ebrard declared that investments in Mexico are "waiting." This cautious stance reflects a broader trend of investors adopting a wait-and-see approach. Secretary of the Treasury Edgar Amador echoed this sentiment, noting modest economic growth but acknowledging a pause in investment activity. Amador attributed this pause to the global economic climate and the impact of restrictive financial conditions. He stated, "In this environment, financial volatility has intensified, and real interest rates have remained high for longer than anticipated." The video from Latinus provides visual confirmation of these statements. The comments from both Ebrard and Amador underscore the significant impact of US trade policies on Mexico's economic trajectory. The situation highlights the interconnectedness of global economies and the need for stable and predictable trade relations to foster investment and growth. While the current pause in investment creates uncertainty, the modest growth noted by Amador offers a glimmer of hope for the future.
