Mexico's External Accounts To Remain Stable

  • According to Fitch, Mexico's modest current account deficit will narrow over the coming years, with the shortfall covered by capital inflows.
  • Strong US demand for Mexican manufactured goods and improved terms of trade will narrow the goods trade deficit.
  • However, Fitch notes risks to its outlook due to uncertainty surrounding the US passage of a revised NAFTA, potential AMLO policy shifts and recent oil price weakness.
