This second edition of the Mexico’s Business Barometer examine the fundamental issues for businesses and their general environment, the main threats to the stability of the Mexican economy, and governmental performance in selected fields.

The first finding in the second edition of the Business Barometer, carried out in June 2007, is that there is a less favorable opinion about the business environment for the coming year compared to the first quarter result. There was a decline in opinions on the economic situation, credit availability, unsafety, and unemployment. The most outstanding change came out with regard to improvements in public safety, which showed a steep decline in this second survey.

We are confident that this document will help you to understand the development of the examined variables during the first six months of Mexico’s new administration.
