Mexico-COVID19: Chronicle of an economic emergency

Abstract

The Mexican economy is undergoing an economic emergency. Since 2017, with the election of Donald Trump as president, growth began to slow down since from the White House it was stated that it would be the end of NAFTA, later the threat of imposing tariffs appeared if the border was not closed to Central American migrants and finally approved a new Trade Agreement (USMCA) with clear advantages for the North American economy. Added to the above were trade tensions between the US. and China that created an adverse environment for the development of productive activity in the world.
