GBN Webcast – Mexico: Supercharged for the future © 2016 EYGM Limited
• Mexico’s economy will continue to rise at an annual rate between 2.5 and 3.0% through 2016 and 17 (Q116= 2.8%). Recovery in the upcoming months is expected to include an upturn of industrial output in the US; depreciation of the peso; continued expansion of employment; higher real wages resulting from lower inflation; an increase in remittances in pesos in real terms; and the gradual effects of recent structural reforms.
• Meanwhile, the government has continued to treat the oil shock as a permanent one and has proposed an austere budget for 2016, which foresees a 1.9% cut in spending (in real terms) and a fiscal deficit of 3% of GDP.
Investment climate
• Structural reforms in the telecommunications and energy sectors will help to boost FDI. • On 30 September 2015, the second package of Mexico's First Oil Bidding Round was awarded and includes
shallow water fields with proven resources. The next phase of 26 fields has been awarded on 15 December 2015. Further packages (including natural- and shale gas) are scheduled for the 2nd half of 2016.
Key investment drivers
Sectors overview
Mexico economic census
• Investment spending has shown modest dynamism fueled by the private sector, while oil output has rebounded from the April 2015 lows (although it remains on a downward trend).
• In 2015, Mexico received US$28.4 billion (PY: US$22.8 billion ) in foreign direct investment (FDI).• Announcements of FDI by US, Japanese and German Automotive companies such as BMW, Ford,
Mercedes Benz, and Bosch illustrate that exports may increase considerably in the next few years.
Economic environment
• The manufacturing industry remains one of the most attractive in the country (especially, the automotive sector), followed by financial services, mass media, commerce and construction, as they received the greatest amount of FDI in 2015.
• Recent reforms have captured the attention of investors due to Mexico’s growth potential in some of its key sectors. These reforms should increase participation by the private sector in industries such as energy, telecom, consumer products, automotive, retail, real estate, banking and tourism.
• According to INEGI, as of 2014, 95.4% of the businesses in Mexico are small (0‒10 employees).• The average income of the businesses (or establishments) nationwide indicates that for every MX$100
earned, MX$71 are used for current operating expenses, MX$8 for payment of salaries and the remaining MX$21 for taxes, royalties, etc.

General overview: Market development in MexicoYoung population
GBN Webcast – Mexico: Supercharged for the future © 2016 EYGM Limited
Source: INEGI
► The median age is 27.4, while the world average age is 29.6 (Germany: 46.2).
► According to CELADE (Population Division of ECLAC, Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean), Mexico will reach its lowest total dependency ratio* in a century within 10–20 years. Despite an anticipated further decline in young dependency, it will remain one of the highest in the world. In contrast, the old-age dependency ratio, despite rising, will be only around one-third of the projected average in developed markets.
► The country’s population is concentrated in and around Mexico City. Northern Mexico is the most sparsely populated area, where one-quarter of the population lives and generates around 25% of GDP. Mid-Mexico, including Mexico City, has about 65% of the population and is responsible for ~60% of GDP. Finally, the Southeast has 10% of the population and generates 15% of the country’s GDP.
► The current average fertility rate is 2.29 children per woman and is expected to equal that of the US by 2025 at somewhat less then two children per woman.
Population by age and gender as of 31 December 2015
* Age dependency ratio is the ratio of dependents (i.e., people younger than 15 or older than 64) to the working-age population (i.e., those ages 15-64).

Mexico’s structural change story is barely in its initial stages. From 1994 to 2012, only five structural reforms were implemented; and during 2013, seven structural reforms were debated and approved. All of them are in the implementation phase, but not all are moving at the same pace due to the global economic environment.
General overview: Market development in MexicoImplementation of reforms to be reflected in the next several years
GBN Webcast – Mexico: Supercharged for the future © 2016 EYGM Limited
Reform Status Aim Regulatory changes Assessment Update
Energy Approved
End state monopoly status of Pemex and encourage private investment in the energy sector
Power of existing regulators substantially strengthened
Bold reform but differences over extending production-sharing versus profit-sharing rights remain
A total of 169 oilfields will be available to investors during the first round of auctions According to the Ministry of Economy, there are 47 companies registered for round one and the winner of the bid is expected was announced in the third quarter of 2015
Fiscal ApprovedRaise revenues and close loopholes; expands fiscal deficit
None; however, the reform introduces universal pension/unemployment insurance
Does not expand the tax base or reach of VAT; does not reduce government reliance on Pemex revenues
The reform has impacted the corporate sector; however, the revenues resulting from the reform may not be enough and there could be some adjustments to the reform in 2017
Communications ApprovedIncrease competition in telecom and broadcasting
Two autonomous regulators: IFETEL (telecoms and broadcasting) and competition (CFCE)
Inexperienced regulators tackling powerful near-monopolies in both broadcasting and telecom sectors
New players are currently investing, including AT&T, and monopolies are still selling assets to competition
Banking Approved
Encourage more bank lending and streamline bankruptcy laws
Gives banking regulator power to punish banks that don’t lend enough; makes it easier for banks to collect bad loans
Needed but uncertain whether measures can significantly undermine the existing informal economy; does not mandate specific lending levels
Mexico continues to be among the countries with the lowest credit/GDP ratio in the world
Education Approved Improve teaching standards
Establishes autonomous regulator (INEE)
Need to avoid a protracted fight with teacher’s union
Changes still not reflected; controversy with teacher’s unions is still going

The tax audit usually lasts 12 months. After the aforementioned period has elapsed, the observation letter (Preliminary Assessment) is notified. Afterwards, the
taxpayer has 20 legal days to refute the findings of the authority. Once the observations letter has been issued, the tax authorities have up to 6 months to issue a Final Tax Assessment
(“Crédito Fiscal”). Taxpayers have an alternative to request a settlement (“Solicitud de Acuerdo Conclusivo”) before the Tax Ombudsman
(“Prodecon”). This procedure interrupts the 6 months period for issuing the Final Tax Assessment. Should the negotiations fail, the taxpayer can opt for an Administrative Appeal. After the Administrative Appeal, and
subject to a financial guarantee, it can opt for the Nullity Trial. The chart below depicts the process:
Chances to settle in Prodecon 20% (based on 2014 info 138/673) Chance to win Nullity Trial 45% (based on last 5 years SAT won 259,043/468,499)
