Mexico's incoming administration, led by Finance Minister Rogelio Ramírez, has committed to lowering the federal budget deficit from nearly 6% to about 3% of GDP in the upcoming years to address the recent financial turmoil. The Mexican peso and stock markets experienced significant declines, prompting efforts to stabilize the economy, including promises to improve the financial situation of Petroleos Mexicanos. However, analysts express doubts on the feasibility of achieving a rapid deficit reduction, which may impact Mexico's sovereign debt rating. Claudia Sheinbaum, the presidential candidate of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's Morena party, won the recent election, potentially signaling changes that could impact democratic institutions and business environment in Mexico.
