Abstract

The competitiveness of Mexican manufacturing exports plays a leading role, as the bridge to reach prosperity and economic growth. This work examines the impact of the real exchange rate and other macro and microeconomic variables on competitiveness. We use a model of multivariate regression, where the values of the variables are contrasted with international competitiveness indices provided by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the Mexican Institute for Competitiveness (IMCO). The results suggest that the real exchange rate is not a significant element that affects the competitiveness of manufactured exports. However, economic activity of the country is highly dependent on the US economy. This gives motivation to promote policies to diversify markets, increase productivity and consummate recently adopted structural reforms to improve economic growth
