The objective of this report for Mexico’s competitiveness is to inform policy makers, the private sector, and the public at large about competitiveness priorities and shortcomings in Mexico, and to point the way forward on improving competitiveness. The report highlights constraints to competitiveness and identifies key high impact interventions to maximize Mexico’s potential for efficiency, generate jobs, and move the country to a more innovation-driven stage of development. It draws on a series of focused analytical pieces that were conducted for Phases 1 and 2 of the Programmatic Analytical and Advisory Activities, as well as extensive World Bank work on competitiveness issues in Mexico and beyond. The report also recognizes that the Fox administration has taken important steps that have laid a solid foundation for future efforts. Yet, improving competitiveness is a long-term challenge that the next administration will face over the coming years.
