"After the growth of Brazilian economy slowed down, local and foreign investors set their eyes on Mexico, according to an analysis by Forbes magazine.
In a global scale of costs, Mexico situated under China which means a better offer with a lower price for investors.
More than that, analysts estimate that Enrique Peña Nieto's victory and the PRI's representatives will bring structural and economic reforms that will
create appealing circumstances for international business. With this, over the next 10 years Mexico could transform into the strongest economy of
Latin America surpassing even Brazil.
Another important factor is the demographic growth and the increase of the working population; a great scenery for internal finances.
Two years ago, foreign investors preferred Brazil, last year it was Indonesia's turn; now it's Mexico's. In the three cases, a huge part of their
development was owed to the countries with "host" economies: China, India and the United States."
