To Be More or Not to Be North American: That is the Question

In this episode, Mariana is joined by Luis de la Calle, an international economist, former NAFTA negotiator and CEO of CMM; and Martin Castellanos, head of Latam research at the IIF. They discuss the potential economic and policy implications of the June 2nd presidential elections and describe the optimism vis-a-vis Mexico among the investor community.
They dive into the economic realities that exist today to determine whether that optimism is justified or not. They also discuss future risks and analyze the various policy consequences of the upcoming elections. They describe two potential scenarios: a victory by Claudia Sheinbaum with and without the necessary majority in Congress to change the Constitution. They also discuss the tailwinds that the nearshoring wave could bring for Mexico, and the country's shortcomings that limit it from taking full advantage of the opportunity. And finally, the implications for Mexico if it allowed China to use it as a back door to the United States.

Amo México. Viví allí durante 3 años. Me encanta entrenar a toda la comunidad, pero México está fuera de control. Lo único que hacen es sufrir en los Estados Unidos y debemos poner fin a eso.😊

Todos sabemos quién dirige ese país y me siento mal por la buena gente de allí porque está fuera de su control y es por eso que debemos tomar el control para ayudar a salvar las vidas de muchas personas inocentes. 😊
