BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES REPORT
June 14-18, 1999
Mexico's most dynamic sectors have been in non-oil related manufactured goods. In fact, manufactured exports currently represent 80% of Mexico's total exports. Likewise, there has been tremendous growth in the number of maquila (assembly) plants, a total of 4,367 as of September 1998. More evidence of Mexico's economic growth is that it has become one of the world's largest clothing exporters, and ranks as the world's 11th largest agriculture producer, 9th mining producer, and 6th natural gas producer. This renewed economic dynamism has created momentum for commercial and direct foreign investment growth, which continued throughout 1998 due to the attractive value of the peso, privatization, modernization of industry and further reductions in import duties for Mexican products under NAFTA. For manufacturers and importers, Mexico represents opportunity for a variety of reasons. It offers competitively priced labor, prolific and qualified technicians, abundant natural resources, raw materials, industrial sites, developed urban areas and a growing infrastructure. Mexico is truly the natural gateway to the vast North American and Latin American markets. Here are some of the current business opportunities we have compiled for your consideration. For more information, please contact us by tel. at (213) 628-1220 or fax. at (213) 628-8466, and refer to the SIMPEX identification number referenced under each listing along with the company name.
