“We are fortunate to be living in a time of great growth, of enormous and already solid integration between the United States, Canada and Mexico. The opportunity we have precisely with nearshoring is extraordinary,” Hank said in a meeting with the media.
The banker stressed that despite the protectionist speech of the Republican, who has threatened Mexico with imposing tariffs, it can be overcome in an environment of dialogue.
“I think the most important thing to highlight is that in Mexico we are trading partners of the United States. We have always had a business relationship, as neighbors, we are neighbors who work, we collaborate together, we have done so in the past with President Trump himself and “Mexico continues to advance,” he said.
Carlos Hank highlighted that given the hope of nearshoring, the bank is ready to continue lending money to companies, governments and individuals and thus capitalize on the opportunity. “I think extraordinary years are coming for Mexico in that sense,” he noted.
And given the United States’ search for less dependence on China, especially in some sectors such as cars or technology, the bank hopes that this will help greater integration with Mexico and Canada.
“That is why it is so important that the treaty that is signed provides certainty and helps Mexico become an even more important ally of the United States in this paradigm shift that is taking place in all international trade,” highlighted Alejandro Padilla, economist at head of the bank.
