MEXICO ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Mexico has a free market economy in the trillion dollar class. It contains a mixture of modern and outmoded industry and agriculture, increasingly dominated by the private sector. Recent administrations have expanded competition in seaports, railroads, telecommunications, electricity generation, natural gas distribution, and airports. Per capita income is roughly one-third that of the US; income distribution remains highly unequal. Since the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994, Mexico's share of US imports has increased from 7% to 12%, and its share of Canadian imports has doubled to 5.5%. Mexico has free trade agreements with over 50 countries including Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, the European Free Trade Area, and Japan - putting more than 90% of trade under free trade agreements. In 2012 Mexico formally joined the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations and in July it formed the Pacific Alliance with Peru, Colombia and Chile. In 2007, during its first year in office, the Felipe CALDERON administration was able to garner support from the opposition to successfully pass pension and fiscal reforms. The administration passed an energy reform measure in 2008 and another fiscal reform in 2009. Mexico's GDP plunged 6.2% in 2009 as world demand for exports dropped, asset prices tumbled, and remittances and investment declined. GDP recovered during 2010-13 with exports - particularly to the United States - leading the way. In November 2012, Mexico's legislature passed a comprehensive labor reform which was signed into law by former President Felipe CALDERON. Mexico's new PRI government, led by President Enrique PENA NIETO, has emphasized economic reforms during its first year in office, passing education, energy, financial, fiscal and telecommunications reform legislation. Nevertheless, administration estimates show GDP growth slowed in 2013 to just over 1%

BUSINESS HISTORY

Subject Company was founded on February 9, 2007 in Mexico, Federal District and it acts as a licensee of the clothing brand "Pepe Jeans London".

 

The clothing brand "Pepe Jeans London" was founded in 1973 in a stand in Portobello Market (London), where its founders, the Shah brothers, made the original jeans.

A few years after their success, they bought several stores, and became leaders in the UK market in the eighties. They implemented their international plans, starting by the United States and then Europe, where it soon became one of the major brands of jeans. This brand is also present now in  Asia and Latin America. One of its main objectives is to continue growing in those territories. Being a great product, having a good quality-price relation and creative advertising campaigns, have made Pepe Jeans to be a leading brand that is currently present in over 60 countries in the five continents.

 

Subject is not related to any other company.
