El Universal, Díaz de León Carrillo said that if the aim of having distributed 80m vaccine doses by May is met, this will represent
“an inflection point with regard to the current situation”, which would allow for the positive revision of growth and recovery forecasts. Díaz de León Carrillo recalled that Banxico currently expects Mexico’s economy to grow 4.8% this year and 3.3% in 2022, following the -8.2% contraction in GDP last year.
