“Electricity reform) It would be a brutal setback if they agreed to this reform, I hope they don’t. What will the effect be? It will have a negative impact, mainly in two respects, first, discouraging investment. Mexican and foreign companies, whether they are in the energy or electricity sector will want Or not, at a lower investment if you continue to see signals like the one that the President is sending out with this proposal.”
“If this reform is implemented, and the state is given the exclusivity in the exploitation and exploration of lithium, etc., I think it will have negative consequences for the economy. What lithium is used for? For cell phone batteries and car batteries, if we only have one supplier for this product, then we can Its availability may be jeopardized and this can strangle the production chains of some goods and services in the economy.

In this sense, both the impact (of electricity reform) through commitments in T-MEC and the effects it may have on investment in general.”

“We believe that inflation every month next year will be above four percent and will remain so until 2023 when it begins to decline, and until 2024 the target set by the Bank of Mexico of three percent can be achieved.”
“For this year, it is very likely that we will see again Historic Capital Flow, especially because we already have now, up to September 27, the most recent data available, such as 84 percent of total production for 2020. If the trend continues, it will be the second year in a row that historically capital has left, something unprecedented in Mexico. “.
