Mexico's economic challenges after the presidential elections comprised the central theme of the keynote conference "Post-electoral risk scenarios and the new Mexican reality," offered by Jorge Arturo Martínez, professor in the Department of Finance and Business Economics of EGADE Business School, at the Guadalajara site.

The expert explained that although President Claudia Sheinbaum has a technical background, the fiscal and market confidence challenges could escalate if she does not dissociate from the centralized policies of her predecessor, Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

In his analysis, Martínez underscored the internal risks, such as the mounting fiscal deficit and the government's lack of checks and balances, which could hurt the country's stability.

He also stressed that critical sectors, such as telecommunications, mining, and energy, will face uncertainty if more centralized regulatory policies are implemented.

Martínez shared two possible scenarios for the current administration: one with weakened checks and balances and another that is more technical and will attract foreign investment. However, he mentioned that the former seems to be the most likely scenario, which would generate more significant economic uncertainty.

In addition to the conference, Martínez shared these perspectives during an executive breakfast hosted by Raúl Montalvo, director of EGADE Business School in Guadalajara.

Representatives of MIND México Innovación y Diseño, CANIETI Occidente, and other organizations also participated in these events and discussed Mexico's future economic challenges.
