Mexico is undergoing vast reforms and is currently experiencing a great moment. Macroeconomic stability and low debt rates are part of our strengths as one of the top 15 economies in the world.

We are an economy with a broad social perspective, with an open economy and with an exchange of goods and services that amounts to more than $700 billion each year. We offer a secure and trustworthy environment for foreign investment.

Our political institutions show increasing strength and vitality. Our country has vast amounts of natural resources, a solid industrial base and increasing technological innovation, as well as a privileged geographic location.

This moment in our history reflects the socio-economic promise of our nation. The well-being and development of the Mexican people can only be achieved through structural reforms, which are key for the country's development. We are a nation determined to transform itself and to grow.

Upon taking office, President Peña Nieto has been committed to championing national efforts aimed at achieving prosperity by fighting poverty and inequality and by providing high-quality education across the country. In addition, the President is committed to consolidating Mexico´s position as a global actor, making positive contributions to the international arena.
