Abstract
The Mexico Competitiveness Report 2009 builds on
the methodology and findings of the World Economic
Forum’s Global Competitiveness Report 2008–2009 and
aims at deepening the understanding of Mexico’s main
competitiveness challenges ahead. The Report intends to
offer a unique platform for discussion and a useful tool
for policymakers, business strategists, and other stakeholders
in identifying the main impediments to growth
and in designing best policies and practices to foster a
competitive economy. Building on the latest thinking
in competitiveness research, this Report offers a broad
overview of the country’s main competitive strengths
and weaknesses, highlighting the areas requiring immediate
attention. Finally, insightful essays on specific issues
of competitiveness written by leading academics are
featured in Part 2 of this Report.
