Open economy
 

 MarketProfile_WhyMexico_StrongRelationsSingapore_bef1stPara

As an investment destination, Mexico is an open economy. It has a network of 10 Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) with 45 countries which account for more than 90% of its total trade with the world. Singapore companies can leverage its competitive costs, highly-skilled young workforce to address markets in its proximity such as United States and Canada. There are also opportunities for Singapore companies to partner with Mexican SMEs, conglomerates, and MNCs operating in Mexico in the consumer goods, technology, trade, and infrastructure development sectors.

Economic potential
 

Mexico is an attractive market due to its macroeconomic stability, low inflation, size and strength of its domestic market, economic growth, and proximity to key global markets.

Bold reforms
 

Mexico's current government has made economic reforms a priority, and has implemented sweeping education, energy, financial, fiscal, and telecommunications reform legislation, among others, with the long-term aim to improve competitiveness and economic growth across the Mexican economy. Mexico has also held public auctions of exploration and development rights to select oil and gas resources since 2015 as part of reforms that allow for private investment in the oil, gas, and electricity sectors.

Venture to Latin America
 

Southeast Asia and Latin America share many market similarities. If you are a Singapore scale-up with proven solutions, Latin America could be your next market.

With an extensive corporate network in key markets in Latin America such as Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Peru and Mexico, Latin Leap is a VC studio based in Colombia. Latin Leap’s Leap2Latam program will connect you to partners and customers and provide business set-up support to launch your business in the region.
