The Mexico Political Economist
@mxpe__
Mexican politics, policy, and markets—without the politicking.
We'll delve into each sector of Plan México in detail. We will talk to the policy makers, experts, & businesses to identify which specific sub-sectors need boosting and what actions are needed to boost them. If you are one of these people, get in touch!2/2 mxpe.org/p/the-plan-mex…
The Plan México Project is The Mexico Political Economist's answer to the desperate need to get specific about president @Claudiashein's big industrial policy 1/2 mxpe.org/p/the-plan-mex…
This story is mind blowing. Mexico has struck an almost perfect balance amidst the most contentious crisis in recent history. And it’s all happened because the Mexican government has acted almost entirely in its self-interest. My latest for @mxpe__ mxpe.org/p/israel-pales…
I took a dive into Mexico’s latest income stats and found that household income growth far outstripped economic growth. Was it remittances or handouts? Nope; it was something far more interesting mxpe.org/p/income-growt…
Over 60% of Mexico’s electricity production comes from gas because it was meant to be more reliable than renewables and cleaner than other fossil fuels. Geopolitics has got in the way… mxpe.org/p/mexico-natur…
I had a chat with Mexico’s official statistics boss and she told me why Sheinbaum can’t fire her like Trump fired the Labor Stats head. Mexico, it turns out, is a social stats powerhouse. Read all about it in my latest piece mxpe.org/p/when-it-come…
What happens if you take the phrase “If you want something done well, do it yourself” to the extreme? Just ask Mexico’s president mxpe.org/p/mexico-shein…
Brazil and Mexico bond, plus a big investment comes right on time to boost Mexico's ports as double-digit growth strains infrastructure. All you need to know about this week in Mexican news: mxpe.org/p/mexico-weekl…
What started out as a promising local economic proposal has now spiralled into a full blown diplomatic conflict with the US. How did one change to Mexico's airport policy trigger Trump's rage? Read about that and much more in this week's MXPE Essentials mxpe.org/p/weekly-essen…
El Chapo's lawyer @JHLichtmanLaw has some questionable takes about Mexico. It doesn't mean Sheinbaum should be lured into his traps. Read about Mexico's strategy re: last week's warning shots from Trump and Litchman—two men united by a common thread. mxpe.org/p/trump-vs-cha…
The international media loves a nice clear cut story pitting poor Mexicans vs rich foreigners. Instead, here's the full story; a far more complex and sobering view of the economics behind Mexico City's gentrification. mxpe.org/p/economics-of…
There is a reason you can't get away from stories about gentrification in Mexico City. Those protesting and directly affected by the arrival of foreigners aren't the original working class victims of gentrification. 🧵
Narratives about gentrification are politicised. This makes people feel good about their righteous anger without solving the issue. Recent protests were more about Gaza than they were about why Mexico City is unaffordable. Here’s the unfortunate truth: mxpe.org/p/economics-of…
With the fast-track approval of a biometric ID and access to databases law, Mexico is building a police state. @mxpe__ lays it out clearly: mxpe.org/p/mexico-surve…
Those who read me know I avoid hyperbole to get clicks. The purpose of @mxpe__ is to give government policy and corporate moves a fair shake before a proper assessment So you know things are pretty dire when I write a title like the one below 🧵 mxpe.org/p/mexico-surve…

Mexico does not matter
Mexico is on the verge of striking a big deal with the Trump admin. So president Sheinbaum must have been pulling out her hair last week as her party went up in a blaze of anti-US rhetoric. Here’s why everything got so out of hand: mxpe.org/p/mexico-weekl…
