Investing in Mexico: The case for Mexican government bonds

Mexico’s economy stands out among the rest of Latin America. The country has one of the lowest debt-to-GDP ratios in the region and comparatively higher fiscal space. Being comparatively well positioned macroeconomically has spurred investor interest in Mexican government debt, which is now among the most liquid and actively traded in the broader Latin American market. Given its investment grade status, its open economy, and its position as one of the largest emerging market economies, Mexican debt is also increasingly attractive for asset managers in Europe.
