Sheinbaum’s supermajority revived Mexico’s macro-stability concerns

We expect a continuity of AMLO’s policies, but Sheinbaum’s ability to pass constitutional reforms with a supermajority in Congress and the US elections will shape Mexico’s medium-term outlook.

What you will learn:

• The near 4% depreciation of the peso (MXN) in the intraday movement to a 17.7 MXN per USD peak highlights concerns over a likely supermajority in both houses. AMLO’s legacy structural reforms will require constitutional changes that are now potentially within reach.
• Government transition will start on October 1 and we expect effects on our 2024 GDP forecast will likely be negligible, so we keep our 1.9% forecast. However, we don’t rule revisions to our 2% growth estimate for 2025 due to changes in the US outlook following the elections.
