Mexico: An Emerging martket?

Yes I red an article in the Spanish newspaper el país that said that the Spanish bank caja de Madrid is going to buy a 20% stake in a Mexican bank because they expect the Mexican housemarket is going to grow big in the next 20 to 25 years.

Last year there were 500.000 houses build(almost as much in the whole of Spain) and they estimate another 20 to 25 million house will be build in the next 20 to 25 years in Mexico because the economy is growing and people have more to spend.

I don´t know a lot about Mexico beacuse I have never been there but would it be a good business oportunity to invest into Mexico?

Mexico has an huge population of 100 million people(and many more in the States) it´s climate is pretty good, the government is for the most part stable and it´s geografy location is very good as well, near big spender the USA.

Also probally in the next few years the FTAA will be launched in the whole of the Americas(minus Cuba) and that could give the Mexican economy a boost. The debt is huge at the moment moment but I think probally most of the debt is owned by the US and they could probally offer some debt relief.

So do you think Mexico will be an emerging marktet in lets say the next 20 years. Why yes or why not?

If this is the case, why are Mexican citizens spilling across the U.S. border in record numbers?

I don't give too much thought about Mexico, so I can't answer your question, all I know is they need to give their people some incentive to stay there.

It really doesn´t say to much because the difference between the US and Mexico is so big. I would want to live in the US as well if I was a Mexican.

But if the Mexican economy will improve maybe some Mexicans will re-migrate to Mexico

I am not very familiar with the potential of the mexican economy. It seems to me, however, that Mexico should be able to benefit from the growing Brazilian economy and its trade relations with the USA.

What are the main industries in Mexico? Are companies currently investing in the Mexican market?

I think it's the other way around.
Mexico's GDP was 687.8 billion dollars in 2004. Brazil's (with almost double the population) was 578.2 billion.

Mexico signed the Free Trade treaty (NAFTA) with the US and Canada in 1994, and is the US second trade partner.

Direct foreign investment (net) in Mexico was 16.6 billion dollars in 2004.
Overall investment (foreign and domestic) grew 14% during last year.

Main industries: automobile, machine ensambling, cement, chemicals, aerospace, mining and, of course, oil.

There's no doubt that Mexico is an emerging market. I believe growth, in percentage, will be better than the U.S., and we can thank NAFTA for that.
