Abstract
La tasa de crecimiento de la economía mexicana se redujo de 3,3% en 2007 a 1,3% en 2008, lo que significó un aumento de sólo 0,2% del PIB por habitante. Esto se debió a la marcada desaceleración de la demanda externa —asociada a la crisis que atraviesa la economía mundial— y de la interna, reflejo de la pérdida de impulso del consumo privado y, en menor medida, de la inversión privada. A partir del tercer trimestre de 2008, las exportaciones cayeron considerablemente. En la debilidad de la demanda interna incidieron el repunte del desempleo, la disminución del crédito para el consumo y el menor ingreso de remesas del exterior. Debido al alza de los precios internacionales de las materias primas y los alimentos en el primer semestre de 2008, la inflación se aceleró, al pasar de un promedio de 4% en 2007 a 5,1% en 2008. Mexico: Economic evolution during 2008 and Outlook for 2009 Abstract: The growth rate of the Mexican economy decreased from 3.3 % in 2007 to 1.3% in 2008, which meant an increase of only 0.2% of GDP per capita. The poor performance was the result of the substantial downturn of the external demand, which in turn was caused by the severe global economic crisis; as well as a downturn of domestic demand, reflected in subdued private consumption and to a lesser extent of private investment. From the third trimester of 2008, exports fell considerably. The weakened internal demand resulted in an upturn of unemployment, a reduction of consumption credit and lower remittance flows. The rise of international prices of raw materials and foods during the first semester of 2008 provoked an acceleration of inflation rates, resulting in an increase in average inflation from 4% in 2007 to 5.1% in 2008.
