    66. Nearshoring opportunities; AI-driven export boom but GDP weakness; BlackRock cashing out in the GMéxico–Saavi deal

    We interview Emilio Cadena, CEO of Prodensa and President of the US-Mexico Foundation, on the continued nearshoring opportunity for Mexico; what’s working, what isn’t, and why a roll-up of some of Mexico’s SME export industrial plays makes sense. Before that, Eduardo and Damian discuss the big business news of the week.  Grupo México takes control of Saavi Energía, partially cashing out BlackRock/GIP, a clear example of global capital rotating out while rich local players step up. Mexico’s GDP contracted 0.8% in 1Q, its weakest start since 2020, while the U.S. grew around 2%. The divergence is striking: the U.S. is being supported by AI capex, while Mexico is held back by weak domestic consumption, investment, and autos. Yet Mexico’s non-auto exports are quietly booming. Growth is coming from electronics, electrical equipment, and industrial inputs tied directly to the AI buildout. This is nearshoring  in action, though it is not yet translating into GDP growth perhaps given the large import component in electronics. And in our quick takes, we look at Televisa preparing for Telco M&A, positive 1Q26 reports from FEMSA, Televisa, mixed results from BBVA Mexico, BanBajío, Walmex and others, plus Banorte’s bet on baseball.

    64. Vanguard on Mexico’s savings gap; food inflation; Plata; fracking; ice cream and and motorcycles

    We interview Adriana Rangel, Head of LatAm distribution at Vanguard, on one of Mexico’s biggest long-term weaknesses: why retirement savings remain so low despite gains in financial inclusion and average incomes. The answers include still low incomes relative to living costs, low female labor participation, high informality, poor financial education, and complexity and high cost of many existing financial products. Eduardo and Damian first turn to the week’s key stories: • Tomato prices surge: up as much as 100% YoY, pushing inflation higher, while tortilla prices also look set to rise. • Fracking reconsidered: Sheinbaum shifts policy, but cheap US gas remains hard to compete with. • Plata at a $5bn valuation: a major fintech milestone and a sign of renewed capital flows. • GS Motos hits 10 million motorcycle units sold: a major success story now facing stronger Indian competition. • Herdez’s ice cream JV with Froneri marks another step toward its leaner operating model.
