OECD Reviews of Innovation Policy: Mexico 2009
Over the past decade, Mexico has made significant progress towards macroeconomic stability
and has undertaken important structural reforms to further open the economy to trade
and investment, and improve the functioning of markets for goods and services. However,
potential gross domestic product (GDP) growth remains much too low to reduce widespread
poverty and bridge the wide gap in living standards with wealthier OECD countries.
One important reason for this is that Mexico has been slower than those in many competing
newly industrialising economies to realise the importance of investment in innovation
as a driver of growth and competitiveness.
This book assesses the current status of Mexico’s innovation system and policies,
and identifies where and how the government should focus its efforts to improve the
country’s innovation capabilities.
