LatinNews Daily - 15 November 2018

* Mexico’s economy ministry (SE) has reported that the country received US$24.17bn in foreign direct investment (FDI) in the first nine months of the year, an 11.1% year-on-year increase. The SE noted that the positive result came despite the fact that FDI inflows in the third quarter, which comprised the electoral and post-electoral period leading up to and following the 1 July general election, fell 27.7% year-on-year to US$4.13bn. The SE also pointed out that the accumulated FDI inflow for the current presidential term, which started in December 2012 and is due to end next month, now stands at US$198.73bn, which is 26% higher than the projection made in the 2013-2018 national development plan released by the outgoing Enrique Peña Nieto administration.
