Harnessing nearshoring opportunities in Mexico by boosting productivity and fighting
climate change
Mexico has large potential to boost its productivity and attract investment from companies
looking to relocate their operations to North America. It also has an historic opportunity
to spread the benefits of trade throughout the country, integrate SMEs more forcefully
into value chains and to create more and better value chain linkages. Nearshoring
is also an opportunity to step up efforts to address and mitigate climate change.
Fully realising these opportunities will require addressing long standing challenges
related to transport and digital connectivity, regulations, the rule of law, renewable
energy and water scarcity.
