The Business Year Mexico 2021

The Business Year is celebrating its 10th year in Mexico with the release of this special edition publication, which compiles over 100 interviews with business leaders and governmental authorities. With nothing to compare the current environment with, companies have been forced to make their own predictions on what the future will hold and, now that the dust has settled, the true winners and losers of the COVID-19 crisis are being revealed. This 160-page publication aims to provide a platform for the country's decision makers at a time of global uncertainty and act as a guide for investors looking seriously at the North American economy. It covers finance, the green economy, energy, industry, agriculture, IT and telecoms, logistics, security, real estate, health, and tourism.

This latest year-long period of research on the Mexican economy was marked by a sense of reflection and reinvention in the business community. As the world continues to restructure itself in the wake of COVID-19 and the subsequent disruption to the global supply chain, players in the country are continuing to discover Mexico's role in this new reality. In this 246-page edition, which features interviews with top business leaders from across the economy, as well as news and analysis, we cover: green economy, finance, energy, mining, industry, mining and telecoms, logistics, security, construction, real estate, agriculture, health, education, tourism, and sports.

This 256-page publication includes a comprehensive examination of the main trends in Latin America’s second-largest economy during an unprecedented period of uncertainty and change. To understand how this economy performed during this period and how it might recover, we conducted a year-long investigation that includes interviews with top executives and officials from the public and private sectors.

To understand how the investment environment has evolved over recent months in Mexico, our team conducted a year-long, on-the-ground research operation that included interviews with over 150 business leaders and officials defining trends across every major sector of the economy. It is an election year in Mexico, meaning the often turbulent Obrador administration is drawing to a close. In contrast with the nervousness and uncertainty we witnessed ahead of his inauguration, our team notes a particular sense of ease around the upcoming elections as CEOs and investors are more familiarized with Morena, the party founded by the incumbent president. Overall, 2024 is expected to see an unusual general continuity of business during an election year thanks to the fact that both of the main presidential candidates are not expected to announce disruptive macroeconomic policies. Through this 220-page publication, featuring interviews with top business leaders from every major sector of the economy, as well as a range of articles and analysis, we present a comprehensive snapshot of the Mexican economy and the investment environment at this crucial period.

The Business Year: Mexico 2020 is a comprehensive examination of Latin America's second largest economy during an unprecedented period of uncertainty and change.

Colombia is undergoing a period of generation-marking adversity. And saying this of Colombia is a tall order given a tumultuous yesterday of armed conflict and internal mass displacement. Today's struggles are of a different nature, however. President Duque has had to give simultaneous management to the COVID-19 health crisis, the Venezuelan refugee crisis, and an expanding fiscal deficit situation that lost the country its investment-grade rating. All this against a backdrop of mass social discontent manifested by record-setting civilian protest. Considering this concoction of challenges, Colombian business leaders have demonstrated the exceptional traits of resilience that characterize this country's people. This edition of The Business Year: Colombia is dedicated to them. This 188-page publication aims to paint a picture of Colombia's current economic condition, examining each major sector through exclusive interviews, as well as news and analysis, from from finance to energy and transport to tourism.

The Business Year conducted more than 200 face-to-face interviews with leading investors, business leaders, and government representatives from all key sectors driving the country’s economic growth for this 336-page publication.

In this edition, which features interviews with top business leaders from across the economy, as well as news and analysis, we cover: green economy, energy, finance, industry, agriculture, ICT, transport and logistics, construction, real estate, health, education, and tourism.
