# Mexico's economic growth has slowed for the fourth consecutive year, marking the longest decline since the 1980s

Mexico's economy is set to slow for the fourth consecutive year in 2025, marking the longest period of sustained slowdown for the country since at least the 1980s. Currently, the country is struggling to attract more investment while also grappling with a massive budget deficit and ongoing trade uncertainties. Although a slight rebound in output is expected in 2026, the economy still faces significant headwinds, including the potential for escalating violence following the killing of a drug lord and uncertainties surrounding the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA)
